The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a $53,674.90 fixed-price delivery order for aviation turbine fuel to Phillips 66 Company, a major global energy corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas. This delivery order, issued December 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 6, 2025, represents a task order under a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy's Rocky Mountain/West Coast/Offshore Program. The contract employs fixed-price economic price adjustment provisions to accommodate market fluctuations in petroleum commodity pricing while maintaining budget predictability. No small business set-aside was applied to this award, reflecting DLA Energy's determination that Phillips 66 possesses the specialized infrastructure and demonstrated performance capacity necessary to fulfill Department of Defense fuel procurement requirements. Performance will take place at Phillips 66's facilities in Houston, Texas, leveraging the company's refining and distribution capabilities.

The company's relationship with DLA Energy is substantial, with active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued at approximately $29.9 million for the Rocky Mountain/West Coast/Offshore Program alone, supporting estimated annual fuel quantities ranging from 89 million to 626 million gallons across multiple aviation turbine fuel specifications including Jet Propellant 5 and Jet A fuel, as well as naval distillate fuel for military vessels. Phillips 66 has maintained registration in the System for Award Management since May 1, 2012, and holds certification as a for-profit organization and self-certified HUBZone joint venture, positioning it as a strategically important element within the Department of Defense's fuel supply chain infrastructure.
