DIESEL FUEL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price requirements contract with economic price adjustment to RYZHKA INTERNATIONAL LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, for the delivery of diesel fuel and gasoline to multiple military and VA facilities across Mississippi and Florida. The contract, issued under solicitation SPE60525R0214 and awarded as delivery order SPE60526D8509, has a total estimated value of $3,976,262.66 with a period of performance spanning from January 3, 2026, through October 31, 2028, though one line item is scoped for a shorter delivery window from July 31, 2026, to August 3, 2026. The contractor will deliver fuel via tank wagon and tank truck to designated locations including VA medical centers and U.S. Coast Guard and Naval installations, with deliveries scheduled between 0700 and 1430 hours and requiring one hour of advance notification. All deliveries are FOB destination, meaning the contractor bears full transportation responsibility and risk until delivery at the site. Quantity variances of up to 10% are permitted on line items, and flexibility for reduced deliveries during hurricane season is implied. Pricing is fixed but subject to economic adjustments, and payment is processed through WAWF by DFAS Columbus, with remittance to P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH. The contract incorporates key commercial item clauses from FAR 52.212-1, -3, -4, and -5, as well as cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012, mandating NIST SP 800-171 compliance, 72-hour cyber incident reporting via DIBNet, and preservation of evidence for forensic analysis. The contractor must also adhere to quality assurance provisions under the ENERGY-QAP series for fuel inspections, with acceptance occurring at the point of delivery by an authorized government representative. No specific packaging, preservation, or labeling standards beyond FOB destination marking and DODAAC inclusion are defined, and no formal evaluation factors beyond price were disclosed, suggesting a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach was used. The awardee is required to flow down cybersecurity obligations to any subcontractors and maintain compliance with defense information handling rules, including the CUI Registry.
