The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, under the Department of Defense, awarded a delivery order valued at $12,171.95 to AAR Aircraft Services, Inc. for the supply of aviation turbine fuel (JAA specification, NATO F-34/JP-8) to support military aircraft operations. This delivery order, issued on October 28, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of October 28, 2025, represents a fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment provisions and carries no set-aside designation. The fuel delivery will be performed at the place of performance in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This delivery order is issued under AAR Aircraft Services' larger indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contract with DLA Energy, valued at approximately $63.1 million and effective from July 1, 2023, through March 31, 2027, which authorizes the delivery of approximately 192.7 million gallons of aviation turbine fuel across nine states including Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona, Arkansas, and New Mexico.

AAR Aircraft Services, Inc., a subsidiary of AAR Corp. and the largest maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility in North America, serves as the sole-award prime contractor for this critical fuel supply chain mission. The company operates four CFR Part 145-regulated maintenance facilities and employs over 3,500 aviation maintenance technicians, positioning it as a leading provider of aviation fuel delivery and maintenance services to the federal government. Under the parent IDV contract, DLA Energy has issued numerous delivery orders with values ranging from under $100 to over $14 million, demonstrating the flexibility of the indefinite delivery structure to accommodate varying fuel requirements across multiple military installations. The fixed-price contracting structure with economic price adjustment provisions provides cost certainty to the government while allowing adjustments based on aviation fuel commodity price fluctuations.
