TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE60226D0472 to ALON USA, LP, a small business certified as a Women-Owned Small Business, for the delivery of 45,000 units of turbine fuel, aviation, with a base contract value of $167,220.00. The delivery is scheduled for July 25, 2026, at 141 Military Drive, Building 200, Rankin, Jackson, MS 39232, with FOB destination terms placing transportation costs and risk of loss on the contractor until delivery is complete. The contract permits a quantity variation of plus or minus 10 percent, resulting in a potential total value ranging from $167,220.00 to $183,942.00. The product is identified by NSN 9130003592026 and is subject to inspection and acceptance at the destination by the government, which retains full authority to determine conformance to contract specifications without reference to specific military or industry technical standards. The contract includes multiple cybersecurity and compliance requirements under DFARS clauses, most notably 252.204-7012, which mandates full implementation of NIST SP 800-171 security controls for covered defense information, mandatory reporting of cyber incidents to the Department of Defense within 72 hours via the DIB Net portal, and preservation of forensic data for 90 days. The contractor must also flow down these cybersecurity obligations to any subcontractors. Additional requirements include adherence to federal procurement policies prohibiting the use of certain telecommunications equipment or applications, compliance with supply chain security standards, and the application of accelerated payment provisions for small business subcontractors. Packaging and marking requirements are minimal, restricted to administrative identification numbers from designated form blocks without inclusion of MIL-STD or other detailed technical specifications. Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at the specified Columbus, Ohio address under net 30 terms, with invoicing expected to conform to DFARS 252.232-7003, suggesting electronic submission through WAWF as standard practice. The contracting officer is Sonji Epps, and no separate COR or COTR is identified, meaning the contracting officer serves as the sole point of contract administration and acceptance authority.
