The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy awarded a $526,218 firm-fixed-price purchase order to Black Bull Logistics SL on April 25, 2025, for the procurement of marine fuel for U.S. Navy vessels. This award was issued under the FEPEC SHIPS BUNKERS program without a set-aside designation and represents a single task order within the broader SEA Card Online fuel procurement vehicle. Black Bull Logistics SL, a Spain-based maritime logistics company, will deliver distillate and residual fuel products, including Commercial Marine Gas Oil, Fuel Oil Grades RME-180 and RMG-380, and Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil, to naval vessels at the port of Oman. The contract is scheduled for ultimate completion by June 2, 2025, and involves direct fuel delivery via barge, truck, or pipeline.
This award continues Black Bull Logistics SL's established role as a primary fuel supplier to the U.S. Navy and other federal agencies through DLA Energy's SEA Card Online program. The contractor has demonstrated consistent capability in international maritime fuel procurement and delivery across multiple global ports since its registration in the federal contracting system in 2016. The firm-fixed-price structure ensures cost certainty for the government while maintaining competitive procurement practices, as the opportunity was issued through full and open competition with no incumbent contractor advantage. This engagement aligns with the Defense Logistics Agency's strategic approach to securing reliable fuel supply chains at critical international ports supporting Navy operations and deployments.
