DIESEL FUEL

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded PAR HAWAII REFINING LLC a fixed-price contract with economic price adjustments for the delivery of diesel fuel meeting ASTM D 975 Grade 2-D S15 (ULSD) specifications under delivery order SPE60526D1013, with an initial award value of $18,496.40 for 4,000 UG6 units at $4.6241 per unit and an estimated total contract value of $6,723,855.60 covering the period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029, extendable to January 31, 2030. Deliveries are FOB destination to Government sites including BARKSANDS and POHAKULOA in Hawaii, with all transportation costs and risks borne by the contractor until receipt. The contract mandates strict compliance with MIL-STD-290 and MIL-STD-290E packaging standards, requiring new or approved containers, with 55-gallon drums for overseas deliveries needing Level B compliance. All packaging must adhere to MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130 for marking and unique item identification using 2D Data Matrix symbology per ISO/IEC 16022 with compliant data encoding formats. Fuel must be free of contaminants and include permitted additives, with certificates of analysis or quality required before acceptance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, and the contractor remains liable for nonconforming supplies even after Government inspection. Payment is processed electronically via WAWF using DoDAAC SL4701, with accelerated payments mandated for small business subcontractors. The award follows a lowest price technically acceptable methodology, where technical acceptability is binary and includes compliance with fuel specs, submission of transportation agreements, ownership documentation for company trucks, and certification of quality. The contractor must hold a valid UEI and CAGE code, self-certify size status, and affirm compliance with numerous FAR clauses including prohibitions on Kaspersky and ByteDance products, whistleblower protections, ethical conduct, and subcontractor reporting. All packaging and labeling for hazardous materials must meet OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard. While no special contract requirements are specified beyond standard clauses, the contract incorporates numerous alternates to small business subcontracting provisions and imposes full compliance with federal environmental regulations including Title V permits.
