Turbine fuel, aviation, JAA

This delivery order, valued at $10,736.89, was awarded on December 16, 2025, to AAR Aircraft Services, Inc. for the supply of aviation turbine fuel (JAA specification, NATO F-34/JP-8) to support Department of Defense military aircraft operations. The order represents a child contract issued under AAR's single-award indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) 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, allowing the government to achieve cost predictability while accommodating market-based adjustments for aviation fuel commodity price fluctuations. No set-aside designation was used for this award, reflecting AAR's selection as the sole contractor for this critical fuel supply mission. The place of performance is Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, though the underlying IDV authorizes fuel delivery across nine states including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Texas.

AAR Aircraft Services, Inc., a subsidiary of AAR Corp., is the largest maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility in North America and operates four CFR Part 145-regulated MRO facilities with over 3,500 aviation maintenance technicians. The company has demonstrated substantial expertise in aviation fuel procurement and delivery services through numerous delivery orders from DLA Energy, with individual order values ranging from under one hundred dollars to over $14 million. Beyond fuel supply, AAR Aircraft Services has received federal grant funding to support workforce development initiatives, including a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement from the Federal Aviation Administration in March 2024 to expand apprenticeship programs targeting the recruitment of female technicians, transitioning military personnel, and high school students pursuing aviation maintenance careers.
