GASOLINE, AUTOMOTIVE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded RYZHKA INTERNATIONAL LLC, a small disadvantaged and woman-owned small business with CAGE code 6EES4, a fixed-price contract with economic price adjustments under the base contract SPE605-24-D-4514 via delivery order SPE60526FHSS4, dated July 21, 2026, for an amount of $27,834.30 to supply 7,500 US gallons of automotive gasoline (NSN 9130-001487103). The contract falls under NAICS 424720 and is structured as a requirements-type award, with pricing based on a unit rate of $3.7112 per gallon and a ±10% quantity flexibility. Performance spans a five-year period from December 1, 2023, through June 30, 2028, with deliveries required at multiple DOD locations including Holloman AFB, Fort Bliss, Curecanti NRA, Ellsworth AFB, and others, all under FOB destination terms where inspection and acceptance are conducted by government representatives at the point of delivery. The contract mandates invoicing exclusively through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system, with payment processed electronically via the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the DoDAAC SL4701. The contractor must comply with stringent federal supply chain integrity requirements, including counterfeit part detection, source verification for electronic components, and prohibition of covered telecommunications equipment, as well as safeguarding controlled unclassified information under DFARS clauses. Additional operational requirements include advance delivery notifications, escort protocols at delivery sites, use of FEDCIV identifiers on paperwork, and the obligation to transition to alternative fuels during natural gas curtailments. The contractor is also bound by certification of small business and socioeconomic status through SAM.gov, triggering reporting obligations under FAR and DFARS subcontracting and small business programs. Packaging and marking must reference contract Blocks 1 and 2 and NSN identifiers, though no specific MIL-STD standards are cited. The contract environment is heavily regulated, with compliance enforced through government inspection, electronic payment systems, and cybersecurity obligations, reflecting DLA’s structured approach to energy logistics under a price-driven award mechanism likely based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable principles.
