Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60223D0465

The Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy), a component of the U.S. Department of Defense, awarded Placid Refining Company LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, an Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at up to $310,696,607.03. This contract facilitates the issuance of firm fixed-price delivery orders for Placid Refining to supply various grades of aviation turbine fuel, including JP5, JP8, JAA, and F76, to over 250 Department of Defense locations worldwide. The original solicitation sought responses for over 1.4 billion gallons of fuels annually to support military operations. While the delivery orders do not typically utilize set-aside designations, the underlying IDIQ contracts often incorporate partial small business set-asides, allowing DLA Energy to leverage both large and small contractors to maintain a robust and flexible fuel supply chain.

Placid Refining Company LLC, which operates a refinery in Port Allen, Louisiana, has established itself as a key supplier to DLA Energy. In addition to the $310.7 million IDIQ contract awarded in February 2023, the company holds several other significant IDIQ contracts with DLA Energy, valued at $246.9 million and $214.5 million respectively, that facilitate the issuance of delivery orders for critical aviation turbine fuels to support U.S. military operations globally.
