Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60726D0023

Eastern Aviation Fuels, Inc., a wholesale aviation fuel distributor based in New Bern, North Carolina, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency Energy division on December 22, 2025, with a ceiling value of $205,934.55 and performance extending through March 31, 2029. The contract procures Jet A-1 aviation turbine fuel to support Department of Defense operational requirements across multiple geographic locations and commercial airports. This Indefinite Delivery Contract represents an extension of the contractor's established relationship with Defense Logistics Agency Energy, building upon a larger single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle valued at $2,224,469.58 awarded on October 1, 2025, that operates under the same contractual terms and specifications. All awards to Eastern Aviation Fuels have been structured as fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment provisions, allowing for cost modifications based on market fluctuations in aviation fuel pricing while maintaining procurement stability. No set-aside designations were applied to this procurement, indicating open market competition.

The underlying solicitation (SPE607-25-R-0201) reflects the Defense Logistics Agency Energy's broader Into-Plane fuel procurement program, which seeks to establish comprehensive petroleum fuel delivery capabilities across the East Coast and adjacent regions spanning 19 geographic locations including the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and portions of Canada. While the current contract award focuses specifically on Jet A-1 turbine fuel supply, the originating solicitation contemplates procurement of various petroleum fuel products necessary to support Department of Defense and federal civilian agency transportation infrastructure requirements. The compressed pre-solicitation timeline (posted December 4, 2024, with responses due December 20, 2024) preceded the December 2025 award date, indicating the government's intent to establish fuel supply vehicles capable of responding to variable demand across distributed military and commercial airport locations. Eastern Aviation Fuels' selection as a single-award contractor reflects the company's demonstrated capability to manage complex fuel distribution logistics and its longstanding performance record as a critical supplier within the national aviation fuel supply chain.
