GASOLINE, AUTOMOTIVE

The contract awarded to BRZ INVESTMENT & CONSULTING LLC under contract number SPE605-24-D-4502 is a requirements-type, fixed-price agreement with economic price adjustments, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy division for the delivery of automotive gasoline and diesel fuel to multiple military installations across the United States. The contract encompasses a diverse set of delivery points including Peterson AFB, Scott AFB, Fort Carson, and other DoD facilities, with a performance period extending from December 1, 2023, through June 30, 2028. Deliveries are governed by F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning the contractor assumes all risk and responsibility until the fuel is physically delivered and accepted at the designated locations. The primary deliverable is automotive gasoline, identified by NSN 9130001487103, though other line items for diesel fuel variants are included, with flexible quantity tolerances of up to ±10% per line item. Payment is strictly managed through the Wide Area Workflow system, with invoicing required in approved formats such as Invoice 2in1 or Combo, and remittance processed via DLA Finance in Columbus, Ohio. The contractor, certified as a Women-Owned Small Business under NAICS 324110 with a size standard of 1,500 employees, must comply with stringent cybersecurity requirements including DFARS 252.204-7012 for safeguarding defense information and reporting cyber incidents, as well as OSHA Hazard Communication Standard compliance for handling hazardous materials. All shipments require proper labeling and accompanying Safety Data Sheets, with no specific military packaging standards cited beyond general handling and transportation safety. The contract incorporates key clauses on small business subcontracting, accelerated payment to small business subcontractors, and incorporation by reference of SAM-registered representations and certifications. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is formally named, and inspection and acceptance authority rests solely with designated government representatives at each delivery location, who verify compliance with ASTM D5798 and QAP 52838 standards for fuel quality and documentation. The award was based on a trade-off methodology balancing technical compliance with pricing, and while the total contract value is estimated between $4.57 million and $5.03 million based on base quantities and variance ranges, the specific award amount referenced in the metadata of $12,918.40 appears to reflect a single delivery order under
