The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE605-24-D-1009 to COSMO OIL MARKETING CO., LTD. (CAGE J8373), a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, for the supply of automotive gasoline and burner fuel oil to U.S. military installations in Japan. The award, issued on July 16, 2026, has a total value of $10,156.33 for a single line item of 3,170 U.S. gallons of automotive gasoline at a unit price of $3.2039, with a permitted quantity variance of plus or minus 10 percent. The delivery order is part of a broader, multi-year, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract extending from November 3, 2024, through July 30, 2029, encompassing multiple fuel delivery lines totaling an estimated contract value between $18.2 million and $24.7 million across various CLINs. Deliveries are FOB destination, meaning the contractor assumes all costs and risks until the fuel is delivered and accepted at designated U.S. military sites across Japan, including Atsugi, Yokota, Yokosuka, Sasebo, and Hakozaki. Inspection and acceptance occur at these delivery locations by authorized government representatives, with quality compliance required per military specifications referenced in Attachment II – Fuel Specifications and Quality Assurance Procedures. The contractor is responsible for delivery via tank truck and must provide delivery tickets, while payments are processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, under the accounting code BX: 97X4930 5CFX 001 2620 S33189. Packaging and marking requirements mandate identification numbers per Blocks 1 and 2 of the contract form, though no specific MIL-STDs or barcoding standards are cited. Contract administration is overseen by Mary Richardson, with logistics support contacts Shoji Sakata and Saori Nishino, and delivery operations must align with specified hours of 0800–1600, Monday through Friday. The award reflects a low-price, technically adequate selection approach, with the contractor self-certified under small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business status, triggering reporting obligations under FAR 52.219-19 and 52.219-2
