This delivery order was issued under a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) master contract (SPE60723D0028) valued at $56.2 million and extending through March 31, 2027, which authorizes the procurement and distribution of approximately 192 million gallons of aviation turbine fuel across Arizona. The contract utilizes fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment mechanisms to accommodate market fuel cost fluctuations while maintaining cost predictability. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating the contract was competed in the open market. Freeman Holdings of Arizona, a small, veteran-owned, disadvantaged business enterprise based in Yuma, serves as the prime contractor with no identified subcontractors and maintains direct responsibility for fuel procurement, logistics coordination, and delivery operations.
