This delivery order, SPE60526FHQU8, is issued under the overarching contract SPE60525D4502, which spans a performance period from May 1, 2025, to October 31, 2029, and encompasses multiple fuel lines including diesel and gasoline across various military installations in California, Arizona, and Nevada. All deliveries are FOB destination, meaning risk of loss transfers to the government upon arrival at sites such as Beale AFB, Lemoore NAS, Luke AFB, and Fallon NAS, with acceptance conducted by authorized government representatives at those locations. The contract mandates compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses including 52.212-4 for commercial items, 52.226-8 regarding banning text messaging while driving, 252.204-7014 on information limitations, and critically, 252.204-7012 requiring full adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding covered defense information and mandatory cyber incident reporting within 72 hours via DIBNET, with preservation of forensic media and submission of malicious software to DC3. Payment is exclusively processed through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), with remittance directed to the DLA Energy payment office using the specified DoDAAC SL4701, and invoicing must conform to 252.232-7006. The awardee is required to mark all packages and documentation with identification numbers from Blocks 1 and 2, though no detailed packaging, preservation, or labeling standards beyond this are specified. The contracting officer is Lawrence Watson, with local administration support from Marichell Scott, and all socioeconomic requirements confirm the award is fully set aside for WOSB concerns under NAICS 424720, despite the company’s self-classification as a small business under NAICS 32411
