Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60721D0076

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy awarded a single-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to Lowe Aviation Company, a full-service fixed base operator located in Macon, Georgia. The IDIQ contract, valued at up to $809,538.03, is for the delivery of turbine fuel, aviation, JAA (Jet Propellant 8) to support DLA Energy's domestic into-plane programs through March 2025. Under this IDIQ, DLA Energy has issued multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Lowe Aviation ranging from approximately $100 to over $900,000 for the supply of aviation turbine fuel to locations primarily in Macon, Georgia. As DLA Energy is responsible for nearly 100% of the Department of Defense's fuel requirements, this contract enables Lowe Aviation to serve as a prime vendor supporting critical military aviation fuel needs throughout the region. No set-aside provisions were applied to the original solicitation or resulting task orders.

The information provided indicates that DLA Energy, which manages fuel procurement and distribution for the U.S. military, previously issued a Sources Sought notice to identify qualified small manufacturers and refineries capable of supplying direct delivery jet and diesel fuels to various East Coast states and territories. This prior market research effort aimed to support DLA Energy's 2.3 East regional fuels program, but the specific details, quantities, and values of any resulting contracts were not disclosed. The current single-award IDIQ and associated delivery orders to Lowe Aviation Company demonstrate DLA Energy's continued efforts to secure reliable supplies of aviation turbine fuel to fulfill its mission of providing energy to the Department of Defense.
