World Fuel Services, Inc., a Florida-based fuel and energy management company, was awarded a $567,532.80 firm fixed-price purchase order on May 20, 2025, to supply fuel for U.S. Navy ships through September 2, 2025. The contract, which is not set-aside, was funded by the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy and stems from Solicitation SPE606-25-R-0200 for the procurement of distillates and residuals for ships' bunkers at various ports worldwide. Specifically, the company will provide Commercial Marine Gas Oil, Fuel Oil Intermediate (Grades RME-180 and RMG-380), Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil, and military-specification products including JP5 and F76 fuel for naval vessels, with delivery occurring in The Bahamas as the primary place of performance.
This purchase order is issued under the broader DLA Energy Central region procurement program and reflects the agency's ongoing requirements for reliable marine fuel supply to support U.S. military operations. World Fuel Services brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, holding a significant $4.8 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Energy covering aviation turbine fuel, diesel fuel, and automotive gasoline through September 2028, as well as additional IDIQ agreements valued at over $22 million for fuel supply to the U.S. Pacific Command. The company's self-certified small disadvantaged business status and established track record in federal fuel logistics make it well-positioned to fulfill this naval fuel requirement.
