NAICS 457210

PSC 9140

Set-aside Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

Scout Score 10

Quick analysis

Opportunity appears to be a commodity bulk fuel buy for ND Army National Guard (title: NDARNG- DF 1 Bulk Fuel; NAICS 457210; classification 9140).

Total Small Business set-aside with unreadable attachments; Trace’s core capabilities and past performance do not cover bulk fuel supply. NAICS 457210 is not listed in Trace’s profile NAICS codes.

Access and scope details (quantities, delivery schedule) are unavailable due to unreadable files, but available metadata is sufficient to determine poor technical fit and likely compliance/access issues. Result: recommend Reject.

Scope summary

Supply/procure bulk fuel for ND Army National Guard (per title/NAICS/PSC).
Perform delivery/performance in Fargo, ND 58102.
Comply with Total Small Business set-aside terms under NAICS 457210.
Meet product description/specifications and delivery schedule contained in unreadable attachments (details unknown).

Dimension scores

Total - 10/100

Technical Fit - 1/20

Metadata indicates a bulk fuel supply requirement (title: 'NDARNG- DF 1 Bulk Fuel'; NAICS 457210; PSC 9140). Trace’s core capabilities (SATCOM/LEO, CDS/M-DRIVE, C5ISR/JADC2, IT O&M, SE&I) do not include commodity fuel procurement. This is outside core lanes per company_profile.

Past Performance - 1/20

Company profile past performance covers DISA MPE-S, Army FSR support, USAFCENT comms & IT, Space Force EMSS EPCC, ABMS, pLEO, MDA SHIELD, GSM-O—none are bulk fuel supply. No relevant fuel distribution/supply PP evidenced.

Vehicles / Contract Access - 2/10

This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, not issued on a Trace-held prime vehicle. It is a Total Small Business set-aside, so access likely requires a small business prime partner if Trace is not small under NAICS 457210. Therefore low direct access.

Competitive Position - 1/15

Commodity fuel buys favor established fuel dealers/distributors. No Trace differentiators (e.g., Starshield reseller, NSA TI, OCONUS FSR) apply here. No incumbent advantage indicated.

Risk - 4/15

High pursuit risk for Trace: outside-core commodity category, local delivery/logistics in Fargo ND, short response window (deadline 2026-04-08), and unreadable attachments limiting scope clarity.

Strategic Value - 0/10

Does not align with Trace’s strategic lanes (SATCOM, C5ISR, CDS, IT O&M). No evident pathway to target vehicles or mission areas. Minimal to no strategic value.

Compliance - 1/10

Set-aside: Total Small Business. Trace’s small business status is NAICS-dependent (company_profile) and NAICS 457210 is not in Trace’s listed NAICS codes. Eligibility under this NAICS is unverified; therefore likely non-starter or requires teaming. Unreadable docs further limit confirmation of any other compliance factors.

Concerns

Set-aside eligibility uncertain for Trace under NAICS 457210; likely requires a small business prime.
Outside Trace’s core capabilities; minimal relevant past performance.
Local logistics and fuel handling/delivery requirements in Fargo, ND.
All attachments unreadable, obscuring quantities, specs, and schedule.
Short response timeline to 2026-04-08.

Teaming opportunities

Small business prime with proven bulk fuel distribution capability under NAICS 457210.
Local/regional North Dakota fuel supplier with delivery assets and compliance certifications.

Competitive position

None material; requirement is commodity fuel supply outside Trace’s differentiators.

Bid/No bid factors

Total Small Business set-aside; Trace eligibility unknown and likely not aligned.
NAICS 457210 (Fuel Dealers/commodity fuel) not listed in Trace’s NAICS codes.
All attachments unreadable; critical details inaccessible.
Commodity buy with entrenched supplier base; Trace lacks domain presence.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.pdf Download

Restricted: Unreadable

Summary

The attachment named PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.pdf was included with the solicitation but the extraction produced only metadata; the file is unreadable in this ingest. No substantive product or technical details are available from this record.

Attachment present in opportunity attachments (filename: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION.pdf).
Extraction status: pending; processing_mode: metadata_only; review_status: restricted — content not available for review.
Limitation reason recorded as 'unreadable' in ingest logs; extractor did not return text.
Because the file is unreadable, expected scope/technical specs, quantities, delivery schedule, and other procurement specifics referenced by the solicitation are not accessible here and must be retrieved directly from the SAM sourceLinks or solicitation portal.
Solicitation metadata (outside this file) indicates NAICS 457210, Total Small Business Set-Aside, place of performance Fargo, ND, and response deadline 2026-04-08 — the unreadable product description likely contains the procurement-specific details needed for scoring.
