DIESEL FUEL

Defense Logistics Agency Energy awarded a requirements-type, fixed-price contract with economic price adjustments to World Fuel Services Europe, Ltd. for the long-term delivery of diesel and automotive gasoline fuels to various U.S. Air Force installations in the United Kingdom. The primary performance period runs from September 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026, with deliveries made via tank truck or tank wagon to sites including RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, RAF Alconbury, RAF Croughton, RAF Feltwell, and RAF Fairford. The overall contract value is listed at 18,807,187.81 dollars, though specific delivery orders, such as SPE60525FDKG2, manage individual line items. Notably, modification P00003 to order SPE60525FDKG2 cancelled a line item for 9,516 units of diesel fuel at no cost to the government, reducing that specific order's balance to zero. The contract is governed by FOB Destination terms, meaning the contractor assumes all risks and costs until the fuel reaches the designated military installations. Quality is maintained through adherence to BS EN590 standards and various Energy Quality Assurance Provisions. Administrative requirements mandate the use of the DLA Internet Bid Board System for ordering and the Wide Area Workflow system for invoicing and payment. Special provisions include daily economic price adjustments based on overseas Europe indices and a requirement for the contractor to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure continuous fuel supply during hurricane season. Compliance with federal cybersecurity standards, including the safeguarding of covered defense information, is mandatory.
