COMMERCIAL LAB TESTING - JET A

The contract, awarded to INTERTEK USA INC. under solicitation SPE60322FA3D2 and administered through IDIQ contract SPE60322D5000, was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy, Bulk Petroleum Services office on July 17, 2026, for commercial laboratory testing of Jet A fuel and associated fuel laboratory transportation services. The work is performed under two firm-fixed-price contract line items: one for 725 units of commercial lab testing at $1.00 per unit and another for 660 units of fuel laboratory transportation at $1.00 per unit, both totaling $1,385.00 in obligated funds prior to final modification. The contract has since been fully closed out by Modification P00001, which de-obligated all funds to zero, confirming completion of all work with no outstanding liabilities or financial obligations to either party. The contractor, located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, is responsible for performing these services, and while the exact performance or inspection locations are not specified, administrative oversight is handled by DLA Energy in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The contracting officer, Carlos Vidro-Martinez, issued the modification under FAR 52.243-1 with Alternate I, the standard clause for changes in fixed-price contracts, indicating no formal trade-off evaluation or technical scoring was documented in the award materials. No specific quality standards, such as ASTM or MIL-STD, were cited in the accessible portions of the contract, and no packaging, preservation, or labeling requirements were detailed in the provided documentation. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541380 for commercial laboratory testing, and while the contractor holds CAGE code 1SG15, no socioeconomic status or size certification was explicitly claimed. Payment details, invoicing methods, and the identity of a Contracting Officer’s Representative were not provided, though administrative contact is listed as Karen Tom via email. The award appears to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach given the uniform $1.00 per unit pricing and absence of evaluation criteria, though this is inferred rather than confirmed. The contract includes Attachment A and a signed SF-30 as supporting documents, but no MIL-STD references, FOB terms, or performance timelines beyond the execution and close-out date of July 17, 2026, are included.
