Turbine fuel, aviation, JAA

Gulf Atlantic Airways, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business operating through its University Air Center Division in Gainesville, Florida, was awarded a delivery order valued at $1,102.82 on December 18, 2025, for the procurement and delivery of aviation turbine fuel (JAA specification) to support Department of Defense operations. This delivery order is issued under the company's single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE60721D0069) with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, valued at $3.7 million with a performance period extending through March 31, 2029. The underlying IDV, awarded on October 1, 2025, authorizes Gulf Atlantic Airways to provide direct into-plane aviation fuel delivery services across 19 geographical locations spanning the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and portions of Canada. The contract utilizes fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing to manage fuel cost volatility while maintaining budget certainty, and no set-aside designation was applied to this delivery order, allowing the company to compete directly based on its small disadvantaged business certification.

Since receiving the IDV award in October 2025, Gulf Atlantic Airways has demonstrated significant delivery performance, receiving over 150 individual delivery orders with values ranging from less than $200 to approximately $13,300. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy, a component of the Department of Defense responsible for managing fuel procurement and distribution for military and federal operations, continues to utilize Gulf Atlantic Airways as a critical regional supplier within its national fuels program. All performance occurs at the company's Gainesville, Florida facility, where it maintains operations as a prime contractor without subcontractor involvement, ensuring direct control over fuel procurement and delivery operations that support federal military and civilian aviation operations across the East Coast region.
