The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price requirements contract with economic price adjustment to POTTER OIL & TIRE CO INC, a Women-Owned Small Business certified under the NAICS code 324110, for the delivery of automotive gasoline and other fuel products under solicitation SPE60526FHQM0 and delivery order SPE60526D8508. The contract spans from January 3, 2026, through October 31, 2028, with an estimated total value ranging from $1.2 million to a maximum of $9.6 million, reflecting flexible ordering provisions during hurricane season and a ±10% quantity variance on certain line items. Deliveries are required at multiple military locations across North Carolina, including Cherry Point and Butner, with all shipments to be delivered FOB destination via tank wagon. The primary item is automotive gasoline under NSN 9130-00-148-7103, with additional specifications for ethanol-free and other fuel types, all subject to HCS and GHS-compliant labeling per 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 and testing standards such as ASTM D5798. Quality assurance follows specific energy-related QAP documents, and acceptance occurs at the delivery site by government representatives. The contract imposes comprehensive cybersecurity obligations under DFARS 252.204-7012 and FAR 52.204-19, requiring full compliance with NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 for safeguarding controlled unclassified information, immediate 72-hour cyber incident reporting via DIBNET, and preservation of forensic system images for 90 days. These requirements flow down to all subcontractors, and cloud service use must meet FedRAMP Moderate baseline controls. Commercial item provisions under FAR 52.212-4 apply, and the contractor must adhere to accelerated payment terms for small business subcontractors and trafficking-in-persons prohibitions. Invoicing must be submitted through IRAPT and processed via WAWF under DFARS 252.232-7006, with payments administered by DFAS Columbus. The contract includes standard clauses for counterfeit part avoidance, electronic parts sourcing, protest rights, and information limitations but does not specify packaging, preservation, or UID marking standards beyond hazard labeling.
