Turbine fuel, aviation, JAA

This delivery order, valued at $4,152.37, awards aviation turbine fuel (JAA specification, NATO F-34/JP-8) to AAR Aircraft Services, Inc., a subsidiary of AAR Corp. and the largest maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility in North America. The delivery order was issued on October 16, 2025, under a larger indefinite delivery vehicle contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, valued at $63.1 million and effective through March 31, 2027. The contract utilizes fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment mechanisms to ensure cost predictability while accommodating market-based fluctuations in aviation fuel commodity prices. The fuel will be delivered to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, though the underlying IDV contract authorizes delivery across nine states including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Texas to support Department of Defense military aircraft operations. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting AAR Aircraft Services' status as the sole-award prime contractor for this critical fuel supply chain mission.

AAR Aircraft Services operates four CFR Part 145-regulated MRO facilities and employs over 3,500 aviation maintenance technicians across North America, positioning the company as a leading provider of aviation fuel delivery logistics and comprehensive maintenance support to the federal government. Beyond fuel procurement, the company has demonstrated commitment to workforce development, having received a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement from the Federal Aviation Administration in March 2024 to expand apprenticeship programs targeting underrepresented populations in aviation maintenance and support for transitioning military personnel. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy's selection of AAR as the single contractor reflects the company's substantial expertise in managing bulk fuel procurement and delivery operations essential to sustaining military aviation readiness across multiple geographic regions.
