COMMERCIAL LAB TESTING - JET A

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price contract to Intertek USA Inc. (CAGE 1SG15) under solicitation SPE60322FA3A9 for commercial laboratory testing services related to aviation fuels, specifically Jet A and JP5, with a total contract value of $145.00. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, and the work is performed under delivery order SPE60322D5000. The contract includes only one active line item—145 units of commercial lab testing for Jet A (NSN H191V20000314)—while the JP5 testing line item has been canceled with zero quantity and cost. The contract is governed by FAR 52.243-1 with Alternate I, which allows for changes under a fixed-price structure and reflects a closed-out modification that reduced the original obligation from $853.00 to the final amount. Performance is expected to occur at the contractor’s facility in Arlington Heights, Illinois, though the official place of performance is not explicitly stated. The paying office and administrative oversight reside with DLA Energy at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with Karen Tom serving as the primary administrative contact and Carlos Vidro-Martinez listed as the contracting officer. Packaging, marking, and preservation requirements are referenced through Attachment A.pdf, which is not fully accessible but is implied to contain compliance with DLA and DoD standards such as MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073, particularly given the nature of hazardous fuel samples. The inspection and acceptance process lacks formal specification in the contract documents; however, the contractor has formally released the government from liability, indicating that all testing and reporting obligations have been fulfilled and accepted. No socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifier (UEI), or specific quality standards like ASTM or ISO are explicitly cited, though the use of commercial lab services implies adherence to industry norms. Accounting data is referenced in the form of an internal line item, AA: 97X4930 5CFX 2034613 001 2512 S33189, and electronic invoicing is suggested through references to SAP and EBS systems. The solicitation process did not include detailed evaluation factors, and no key personnel, security clearances, or subcontracting plans were identified. Contract administration was limited to financial adjustment and
