Freeman Holdings of Hawaii, LLC, doing business as Million Air Honolulu, received a delivery order award from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy for the supply of aviation turbine fuel (Jet Aviation Fuel, Grade A) to support Department of Defense military aviation operations. The contract ceiling value is $16,183.72, with a completion date of January 23, 2026. This delivery order is issued under Freeman Holdings' larger indefinite-delivery contract with DLA Energy, a single-award vehicle valued at approximately $55.3 million and effective from April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2026, which authorizes the delivery of approximately 149 million gallons of aviation turbine fuel across eleven western U.S. states and territories. The award carries a fixed-price pricing structure with economic price adjustment mechanisms to accommodate market-based fuel cost fluctuations. Place of performance is identified as Cape Coral, Florida. No small business set-aside designation was used for this delivery order, despite Freeman Holdings' certification as a small disadvantaged and veteran-owned business.

DLA Energy's reliance on Freeman Holdings as the sole supplier under this indefinite-delivery contract demonstrates the agency's strategic approach to maintaining consistent fuel availability for military aviation operations across the western region. The indefinite-delivery framework enables the Department of Defense to issue multiple fixed-price delivery orders on an as-needed basis, providing flexibility to respond to fluctuating operational requirements while leveraging market-responsive pricing mechanisms. Freeman Holdings' contract portfolio with DLA Energy reflects ongoing active engagement in aviation fuel procurement, with individual delivery orders historically ranging from several hundred dollars to over $80,000 per order, indicating the company's capacity to fulfill varied fuel supply demands across its extensive operational footprint.
