Purchase Order N0024425PS032

The U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces awarded a $206,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to The Jankovich Company, LLC on June 22, 2025, for barge services to transport JP-5 fuel from Point Loma to the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The contract, which was not designated as a set-aside, requires the contractor to provide approximately five days of barge transportation services using a 400,000-gallon capacity vessel to move approximately 1.2 million gallons of aviation fuel to Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California. The USS Theodore Roosevelt is a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier that serves as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 9 and requires regular fuel replenishment to maintain operational readiness throughout the Indo-Pacific region.

The Jankovich Company, LLC, a San Pedro-based maritime logistics firm specializing in fuel transportation and barge services, was selected through a competitive solicitation (N00244-25-Q-S020) posted by Naval Supply Systems Command using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation methodology. The contractor demonstrated the necessary technical qualifications including OSHA compliance, certified oil spill response planning, appropriate Certificate of Financial Responsibility, and properly configured barge equipment to meet government specifications. This award reflects the contractor's established track record supporting Naval fuel distribution operations along the West Coast and represents continuation of critical logistics support enabling sustained operations of the Navy's carrier strike groups in the Pacific Fleet.
