Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60721D0049

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, a defense agency responsible for meeting the energy needs of the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Avfuel Corp, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The $1,477,197 IDC, with a period of performance from November 2023 through March 2027, is for the provision of turbine fuel, aviation grade JAA (jet propulsion fuel 8), to support military aircraft operations. Avfuel Corp, as the prime contractor, will supply the bulk aviation fuel to various commercial airports across nine U.S. states, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. The contract is structured as firm-fixed-price delivery orders with economic price adjustment provisions, allowing for flexibility in fuel pricing. This contract vehicle enables DLA Energy to efficiently meet the ongoing fuel requirements of the Department of Defense through a streamlined procurement process with Avfuel Corp as a trusted supplier.

The original solicitation was a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified small manufacturers and refineries capable of supplying aviation fuel for the DLA Energy's Direct Delivery Fuels Into-Plane program. The notice covered the fuels requirement for 15 states in the central region of the United States. While the IDC awarded to Avfuel Corp does not include a set-aside designation, the initial sources sought aimed to identify small businesses to support the DLA's fuel supply needs for military operations in the specified geographic area.
