GASOLINE, AUTOMOTIVE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded BRZ INVESTMENT & CONSULTING LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business with CAGE code 8WNL3, a fixed-price requirements contract under SPE60524D4502 for the delivery of automotive gasoline and diesel fuel to multiple Department of Defense installations. The contract, awarded on November 1, 2023, with a performance period extending through June 30, 2028, includes multiple delivery points across Colorado, Illinois, New Mexico, and Texas, with deliveries required via tank trucks to designated military fuel storage facilities. Though the total contract price is listed as $26,069.60, this appears to reflect only a single line item or partial value, as the full scope includes substantial quantities of fuel—up to 550,000 units of gasoline and over 260,000 units of diesel—with unit prices indicating a multi-million-dollar overall value not fully captured in the provided data. The contract specifies F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning risk and responsibility transfer to the government upon delivery at the specified locations, and mandates compliance with ASTM D396 and QAP 52838 for fuel quality, as well as OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard and GHS for safety labeling. All invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow system using approved document types such as Invoice 2in1 or Standard Invoice/Receiving Report combinations, and payment will be processed via Electronic Funds Transfer using the designated DoDAAC SL4701. The contract incorporates critical cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7009, requiring the contractor to safeguard covered defense information and report cyber incidents appropriately. Additional obligations include advance delivery notifications, escort requirements at military installations, adherence to specified delivery hours, and compliance with small business provisions including accelerated payments to subcontractors and advancing small business growth. The contractor’s WOSB status triggers specific FAR and DFARS reporting and compliance obligations, including SAM.gov certification and potential SBA verification. While packaging, marking, and preservation standards are not explicitly defined by military specifications, the contractor must follow federal hazardous materials regulations and ensure proper labeling per GHS guidelines. Administration is managed by DLA Energy, with primary contacts for contracting and WAWF technical support provided, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is named.
