DIESEL FUEL

VETJET FUELS LLC, a women-owned small business with CAGE code 8FDK1, has been awarded a firm fixed-price contract under SPE605-26-D-1005 by the Defense Logistics Agency to supply diesel fuel meeting ASTM D396 and DLA ENERGY specifications DS1 and DS2. The contract, effective from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031, with a potential six-month extension, has a total estimated value of $6,640,163 and includes delivery to multiple Department of Defense sites in Alaska, including Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, and Eielson Air Force Base. All deliveries are governed by F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning the contractor assumes all costs and risks until the fuel is received at the designated location, where the government conducts final inspection and acceptance using tank measurements with a 0.5% tolerance threshold. The contract mandates full compliance with quality assurance standards outlined in E-QAPS and C-QAPS documents, adherence to cybersecurity requirements including NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012, and strict prohibitions on Kaspersky and ByteDance-related technologies as well as equipment from covered foreign entities under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. Invoicing is exclusively processed through Wide Area WorkFlow, with payment remitted to a designated office in Columbus, Ohio, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors are required. The contractor must maintain small business and WOSB eligibility throughout performance, report first-tier subcontract awards over $30,000, and comply with all labor standards under the Service Contract Act. Packaging and marking must conform to carrier standards and include hazard labels as required by DFARS, while barcoding and preservation specifications are not explicitly defined. The contract incorporates over two dozen FAR clauses covering ethics, whistleblower protections, payment restrictions, executive compensation reporting, and supply chain security, with alternate versions applied where specified, and excludes any known HUBZone or SDVOSB set-asides despite including other socioeconomic clauses.
