The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a delivery order valued at $22,501.15 to World Fuel Services (Singapore) PTE LTD for the supply of aviation turbine fuel (JA1) to support military operations throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The contract, issued on October 27, 2025, is structured as a fixed-price agreement with economic price adjustment mechanisms, allowing the government cost flexibility while maintaining pricing certainty. The award was executed on a non-set-aside basis through open market competition, with performance taking place in Singapore. This delivery order falls under a larger indefinite-delivery contract (SPE60725D0066) valued at $5.6 million that was awarded to the vendor on April 1, 2025, by the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, the Department of Defense's primary fuel procurement organization. The parent indefinite-delivery contract authorizes aviation turbine fuel acquisition to support into-plane refueling operations at 46 airports across multiple Asia-Pacific nations through September 30, 2029.
