Turbine fuel, aviation, JAA

Epic Aviation, LLC, a Salem, Oregon-based aviation fuel supplier, was awarded a delivery order valued at $1,742.96 for the supply of Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA)-certified turbine fuel for aviation use. The contract, awarded June 3, 2024, utilizes a fixed-price structure with economic price adjustment provisions and was issued without set-aside designation. This delivery order was placed under one of Epic Aviation's two existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, a component of the Department of Defense responsible for fuel procurement and distribution to military installations and federal energy operations. The DLA Energy IDCs represent Epic Aviation's primary contracting vehicles, with the larger contract valued at $26.1 million (March 2024 through March 2025) and a newer contract valued at $15.9 million (through March 31, 2026), enabling the government to issue individual task orders for specific fuel quantities and grades as operational requirements dictate.

Epic Aviation has established itself as a significant supplier within the federal aviation fuel procurement ecosystem, demonstrating capability across multiple fuel grades including JP8, JP5, JAA-certified aviation turbine fuel, and naval distillate fuel (F76). The company's contract portfolio reflects sustained government reliance on its services, including a $14.8 million sustainable aviation fuel contract with the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Training Center extending through September 2029. All of Epic Aviation's federal awards have been made through full and open competition and maintain fixed-price structures with economic price adjustment clauses, allowing the government to manage fuel costs while accounting for market fluctuations. Performance is designated at Epic Aviation's Salem, Oregon facility, with capability to support distribution across geographically dispersed military installations including Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and multiple regions including Inland, East, Gulf Coast, and Offshore operational areas.
