The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke, Georgia, doing business as the Athens Ben-Epps Airport, was awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract valued at approximately $571,844.84 by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy. Under this ID/IQ contract, which spans from October 2021 through March 2025, DLA Energy issues multiple fixed-price delivery orders to the Athens Ben-Epps Airport for the provision of aviation turbine fuel, specifically Jet Propulsion Fuel-8 (JP-8), to support U.S. military and federal agency operations in the region. These delivery orders, which do not have any set-aside designations, range in value from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. The consistent and frequent nature of these awards demonstrates the ongoing and substantial relationship between the Athens Ben-Epps Airport and DLA Energy for the supply of aviation fuel to military operations across several U.S. states and territories.
The originating federal contract opportunity was a Sources Sought Notice issued by DLA Energy to identify qualified small manufacturers and refineries capable of supplying direct delivery fuels into-plane, including jet fuel and diesel fuel, to support operations in multiple East Coast states and territories. The notice specified that interested parties must be small refineries producing less than 200,000 barrels per calendar day and having 1,500 employees or less. No set-aside designation was provided, indicating the procurement would be open to all qualified vendors.
