TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION

Defense Logistics Agency Energy awarded contract SPE60226FD02H to ALON USA, LP, a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, for the procurement of aviation turbine fuel JAA. The contract is a delivery order under the broader agreement SPE60226D0472. While the overarching program award is valued at over 355 million dollars, this specific order was modified via P00001 to adjust the quantity of fuel to 29,475 units at a unit price of 3.0253, resulting in a total value of 89,170.72 dollars. The fuel is to be delivered via bulk truck to the Fort Smith Air National Guard in Sebastian, Arkansas, with a strict performance and delivery date of July 4, 2026. The contract is managed as a firm fixed price agreement with FOB destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all costs and risks until the fuel reaches its destination. Inspection occurs at the origin, while acceptance is conducted by government representatives at the destination. A critical component of the agreement is strict adherence to cybersecurity mandates, specifically DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171, which require the safeguarding of covered defense information and the reporting of any cyber incidents to the Department of Defense within 72 hours. Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio.
