The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy awarded a $23,056.37 delivery order for aviation turbine fuel (Jet A/A-1) to Freeman Holdings of Arizona, LLC, operating as Million Air Yuma, on September 4, 2025. This delivery order, issued under the fixed-price contracting structure with economic price adjustment provisions, represents a task order against the contractor's parent indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) master contract (SPE60723D0028) valued at $56.2 million and extending through March 31, 2027. The performance location is designated as Martinez Lake, Arizona, which serves as the primary distribution hub for fuel deliveries supporting Department of Defense aviation operations throughout Arizona. No set-aside designation was utilized for this award, indicating open market competition. Freeman Holdings of Arizona, a small veteran-owned disadvantaged business enterprise headquartered in Yuma, Arizona, serves as the prime contractor with no identified subcontractors, maintaining direct responsibility for all fuel procurement, logistics, and delivery operations.

Since the establishment of the base IDIQ contract in July 2023, DLA Energy has issued over 100 delivery orders to Million Air Yuma to support military aviation fuel requirements across the southwestern United States, with individual task orders ranging significantly in value to accommodate fluctuating operational demands. The contractor's strategic geographic location near military installations in Arizona and specialized expertise in aviation fuel logistics have established it as a critical and relied-upon partner within the Department of Defense's military aviation fuel supply chain. The economic price adjustment mechanism embedded within all delivery orders enables DLA Energy to maintain budgetary predictability while accommodating the inherent volatility of market fuel costs, supporting military readiness across the region.
