Aviation Turbine Fuel (JA1) Supply

The contract entails the supply of 2,500 US gallons of aviation turbine fuel designated as JA1, which must comply with the stringent military specifications outlined in MIL-DTL-83133 and the quality assurance procedures in QAP 52838. This fuel is intended for use in defense-related aviation operations and requires strict adherence to purity, performance, and safety standards to ensure operational readiness and engine compatibility across military aircraft platforms. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under the broader authority of the Defense Logistics Agency, which operates under the Department of Defense, indicating the critical nature of this fuel supply to national defense objectives. The NAICS code 324110 confirms the activity as part of the petroleum and coal products manufacturing sector, specifically within the refining and distribution of specialized fuels. Although no specific delivery location or point of contact is detailed, the place of performance and organizational context suggest that fulfillment may occur at or near U.S. military installations or logistics hubs with the necessary handling and storage capabilities for aviation turbine fuel. The contract was posted on June 25, 2026, and is accessible through the DLA’s DIBBS system, signaling its inclusion in the formal federal contracting stream. Compliance with the referenced quality and technical standards is mandatory, and failure to meet these requirements would constitute a material breach, potentially resulting in rejection of delivery or financial penalties. The subcontract nature of this award implies it is part of a broader contract chain, likely supporting larger-scale defense operations requiring reliable and standardized fuel sources.
