TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order under the base contract SPE60226D0467 to LAZARUS ENERGY HOLDINGS LLC, a small disadvantaged women-owned business, for the supply of 60,000 UG of aviation turbine fuel (JAA) at a unit price of $3.8981, totaling $233,882.82. The delivery is to be made FOB Destination to Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, with a single-day performance period on July 25, 2026. The contractor is responsible for all transportation costs and must ensure compliance with contractual specifications and delivery timelines. Inspection occurs at origin while final acceptance is conducted by the government at destination under FAR 52.247-34. The contract incorporates stringent cybersecurity requirements through DFARS 252.204-7012, mandating NIST SP 800-171 compliance, 72-hour cyber incident reporting, media preservation for 90 days, and secure authentication via PKI, with these obligations flowing to all subcontractors handling covered defense information. The award includes clauses addressing small business growth, accelerated payments to small subcontractors, prohibition of certain telecommunications equipment, and restrictions on BYTEDANCE applications. Marking requirements mandate inclusion of the contract and delivery order numbers on all packaging, but no specific packaging, preservation, barcoding, or MIL-STD standards are detailed. Payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, under appropriation code BX:97X4930 5CFX 001 2620 S33189, with Joseph Yacovone serving as the authorized representative. The contractor’s representation as a disadvantaged WOSB under NAICS 324110 triggers program-specific obligations, and while the contract structure suggests an IDIQ framework, the order itself is priced under a firm-fixed-price model with a permitted 10% downward quantity variance.
