TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a multi-year, requirements-type fixed-price contract to STONEWIN INTERNATIONAL, LLC (CAGE 8TZL7), a Women-Owned Small Business, for the delivery of JP8 aviation turbine fuel under delivery order SPE60524D9403. The contract, effective from May 1, 2024, through November 30, 2027, with certain locations ending on October 31, 2027, has an estimated total value of $36,245,339.28 and encompasses bulk fuel deliveries to multiple U.S. military training sites across Europe, including locations in Poland, Slovakia, Latvia, Romania, and Bulgaria. Deliveries are to be conducted via tank trucks equipped with pumps not exceeding 350 GPM and 3-inch hoses, with drivers required to be fluent in English, and all shipments must be free of contaminants and accompanied by laboratory documentation. Inspection and acceptance occur exclusively at the destination points, using designated DoDAAC codes for each delivery location, with the government holding sole authority to approve receipt. The contract specifies FOB Destination terms, meaning title and risk transfer upon arrival, and the contractor bears payment responsibility under this arrangement. The contract mandates compliance with stringent military logistics standards, including packaging and labeling aligned with MIL-STD-129 using NSN and DODAAC codes, and adherence to the Wide Area Workflow system for all invoicing and payment transactions, with electronic funds transfer required via SAM.gov. Payment processing is handled by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service using DoDAAC SL4701 and a remittance address in Columbus, Ohio. Cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7009 obligate the contractor to safeguard covered defense information and report cyber incidents per NIST SP 800-171, while additional clauses prohibit the use of covered telecommunications equipment, ByteDance applications, and counterfeit electronic parts. The award was made under commercial item acquisition procedures with no detailed evaluation factors provided, implying a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, where technical compliance serves as a pass/fail threshold and pricing is the primary differentiator. The contractor is subject to economic price adjustments tied to a reference date of May 15, 2023, and must adhere to all incorporated provisions, including accelerated payment mandates for small business subcontractors
