DIESEL FUEL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price contract to Maui Oil Company Inc, a Women-Owned Small Business with CAGE code 0GD75, for the delivery of 4,400 gallons of diesel fuel meeting ASTM D975 specifications to Tripler Army Medical Center under solicitation SPE60526P6203. The total contract value is $23,368.80, with delivery terms defined by F.O.B. destination, requiring measurement and acceptance at the receiving location using API MPMS standards and conversion to net gallons at 60°F. The contract mandates strict traceability through CAGE code and batch identification, with a permitted quantity variance of no more than 0.5%, beyond which Government measurements prevail. Fuel must comply with DLA Energy DS2 specifications, including sulfur content not exceeding 0.0015 wt%, use of approved additives such as MIL-S-53021 stabilizer, and absence of water bottoms, with inspections conducted by the Government at the delivery site. The contract incorporates multiple FAR clauses addressing labor standards, compliance, and cybersecurity, including Service Contract Labor Standards, Employment Eligibility Verification, Equal Opportunity for Veterans and Workers with Disabilities, and the prohibition on contracting with Kaspersky Lab and ByteDance-covered entities. Cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012 necessitate full compliance with NIST SP 800-171, reporting of cyber incidents within 72 hours, preservation of forensic data for 90 days, and flow-down of security obligations to subcontractors. Payment is processed through Wide Area Workflow, with remittance directed to the U.S. Army Financial Management Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contractor must maintain WOSB status throughout performance, and all invoicing, receiving, and payment requests must be submitted electronically via WAWF. There are no option periods, indefinite-delivery components, or additional CLINs, and the acquisition follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation approach, where technical compliance—including traceability, measurement accuracy, and regulatory adherence—is a threshold rather than a weighted factor.
