GASOLINE, AUTOMOTIVE

The contract awarded to CLIPPER OIL, INC. under solicitation SPE60525P2217, amended by P00001, is a firm-fixed-price agreement for the delivery of 5,425 U.S. gallons of reformulated automotive gasoline, NSN 9130-013884080, at a unit price of $3.46 per gallon, totaling $18,770.50. The delivery is scheduled for a single day, September 12, 2025, to a below-ground tank located at 225 Kenney Street, El Cajon, California, with title transferring upon delivery via tank truck equipped with pump and metering. The contract leverages FAR 52.211-16, Variation in Quantity, to adjust the original order of 5,500 gallons downward to the final quantity based on actual receipt, reflecting standard administrative adjustments in commodity fuel contracts. Delivery must occur daily between 0700 and 1500 hours, seven days a week, including federal holidays, and requires advance coordination with the Vehicle Control Officer or designated point of contact, Craig Radlinger, who also acts as the mandatory escort for all deliveries. Site access is restricted, with mandatory vehicle searches and an absolute prohibition on weapons. Delivery tickets must be metered and submitted for validation, and the Federal Excise Tax of $0.183 per gallon is applicable. The government assumes full inspection and acceptance responsibility at the destination, based on compliance with the adjusted quantity under FAR and general military fuel standards, though specific technical specifications like octane rating or sulfur content are not detailed. No packaging, preservation, marking, or bar-coding requirements are specified, consistent with bulk fuel delivery practices. The Defense Logistics Agency, through its Energy, Post, Camps, and Stations office, is the contracting activity, with Matthew Womer as the contracting officer and no additional socioeconomic certifications, option periods, or evaluation factors documented. All procedures, including invoicing and accountability, are governed by DLA protocols and delivery documentation rather than formal military standards like MIL-STD-129 or MIL-STD-2073.
