Turbine fuel, aviation

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, awarded a delivery order valued at $54,349.29 to Phillips 66 Company for the supply of aviation turbine fuel. Issued on January 16, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of January 24, 2026, this fixed-price delivery order with economic price adjustment provisions will be performed in Houston, Texas, where Phillips 66 maintains significant refining and distribution operations. The award was made without a small business set-aside, reflecting DLA Energy's determination that Phillips 66 possesses the specialized infrastructure and demonstrated performance capability necessary to fulfill Department of Defense fuel procurement requirements. This delivery order is issued under a parent Indefinite Delivery Contract—specifically, the Rocky Mountain/West Coast/Offshore Program IDC valued at $29.9 million and effective through September 30, 2026—which authorizes DLA Energy to procure bulk petroleum products including multiple aviation turbine fuel specifications and naval distillate fuel as operational needs arise.

Phillips 66 Company, a major global energy corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas, serves as a critical supplier of specialized petroleum-based products to the federal government and the Department of Defense. The company maintains an extensive refining and distribution network that positions it as a strategically important supplier within the Defense Department's fuel supply chain infrastructure. Phillips 66 has received hundreds of delivery orders for aviation fuels and naval distillate products through multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with DLA Energy, with combined ceiling values exceeding $827 million. The company's federal engagement extends beyond military fuel supply to include participation in energy innovation initiatives, as evidenced by a Department of Energy cooperative agreement for advanced carbon capture technology development at its Rodeo Refinery facility.
