The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, a defense agency, awarded an indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contract to Abilene Aero Inc., a for-profit subchapter S corporation, for the procurement of approximately 192.7 million gallons of turbine fuel, aviation (JAA specification) over a four-year period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2027. The IDV contract, valued at up to $7,014,100.62, does not have a set-aside designation and was competitively awarded. Abilene Aero Inc. also holds a second IDV contract with DLA Energy, valued at up to $7,300,750.37, for similar aviation fuel requirements. These parent IDV contracts serve as the framework for issuing smaller fixed-price delivery orders, with economic price adjustment terms, to maintain a steady supply of aviation fuel for military operations across multiple states, including Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. The original solicitation, SPE607-23-R-0202, sought proposals from responsible sources for these requirements using lowest price technically acceptable procedures.

The delivery orders issued under the IDV contracts to Abilene Aero Inc. range from a few hundred dollars to over $2,000, covering the supply of turbine fuel, aviation (JAA) to support military flight operations. The contracts demonstrate Abilene Aero Inc.'s strategic importance as a critical supplier in the aviation fuel logistics sector, providing specialized services to the Department of Defense across multiple regions.
