Deliveries are made on an FOB Destination basis via tank truck, with technical compliance required under MIL-PRF-27210 and CID A-A-59503. The contract is managed as a commercial items acquisition, requiring the awardee to be registered in SAM and DIBBS. Invoicing must be processed electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow.
