Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60223D0451

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy has awarded a series of fixed-price delivery order contracts to HD Hyundai Oilbank Co., LTD, a South Korean-based foreign-owned for-profit organization, to provide various aviation turbine fuels such as Jet Propulsion 5 and 8 (JP5, JP8), Aviation Gasoline, and Naval Distillate F76 in support of U.S. Department of Defense operations across the Western Pacific and Middle East regions. These delivery orders, valued between $1.8 million and $2.5 million each, are issued under HD Hyundai Oilbank's existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with DLA Energy, which have ceiling values ranging from $22 million to $50 million and run through 2024. The fuel is delivered via tankers, barges, trucks, railcars, and pipelines to U.S. military installations and vessels at sea in locations including South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Diego Garcia. The contracts do not utilize any set-aside designations, reflecting HD Hyundai Oilbank's competitiveness in the market for providing bulk petroleum products to the U.S. Department of Defense.

The original pre-solicitation notice from DLA Energy outlined the annual bulk petroleum requirements under the Western Pacific and Middle East Regions, totaling approximately 638 million U.S. gallons of Naval Distillate (F76), Turbine Fuel Aviation (JP5), and Turbine Fuel Aviation (JA1), some requiring additives. DLA Energy sought delivery of these fuels by various modes to destinations in the regions, with a delivery period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 plus a 30-day carryover. The final solicitation was made available in April 2022 under NAICS codes 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) and 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals), with no set-aside designations used.
