The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Petroleum Traders Corp, a Women-Owned Small Business and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business with CAGE code 7W738, a fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE605-26-D-8506 for the supply of 286,000 U.S. gallons of automotive gasoline (NSN 9130-001487103) at a base price of $21,585.19, with an option range of plus or minus 10 percent. The contract period of performance spans from January 3, 2026, to October 31, 2028, with deliveries scheduled to occur Monday through Friday between 0800 and 1500 local time at designated U.S. military installations including Patrick Air Force Base, Fort Bragg, Shaw Air Force Base, and others, all under FOB Destination terms. The award is part of a broader contract ceiling of $70,134,920.11, which encompasses multiple potential delivery orders. Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the WAWF and IRAPT systems, and the contracting officer, Tonya Sterling, serves as the primary point of contact. The acquisition is conducted under commercial item procedures per FAR 52.212-4 and 52.212-5, with the basis of award presumed to be lowest price technically acceptable given the absence of complex evaluation factors and the nature of the commodity being procured. The contract mandates strict compliance with federal supply chain security and cybersecurity requirements, including adherence to NIST SP 800-171 for protecting covered defense information, mandatory reporting of cyber incidents to the DoD Cyber Crime Center, and the flow-down of these obligations to all subcontractors. Fuel quality standards are governed by specific QAP documents and ASTM D975 for ultralow sulfur diesel, and all deliveries are subject to government inspection and acceptance at the destination. Packaging, marking, and barcoding requirements are not explicitly defined, though all shipments must carry the contract identification numbers from Blocks 1 and 2. The contractor must maintain ongoing certification as an EDWOSB under NAICS 324110, with annual recertification required by the SBA, and is subject to audit under FAR 19.15
