Fuels, Solid

PSC Category 9110 covers Fuels, Solid, encompassing a wide range of solid fuel products critical for various federal government operations. This category includes charcoal, coal, and other combustible solid fuel materials used across military, diplomatic, and domestic government facilities. The products serve diverse applications including heating, power generation, cooking, and operational support for both domestic and international missions. The solicitations and awards demonstrate the versatility of solid fuels in supporting government infrastructure and operational requirements.

Federal Contract Awards in this category predominantly feature delivery orders and purchase orders ranging from $1,200 to $298,000, with durations typically spanning several months to multiple years. Key contractors include Global Food Services Company, Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees, and various small businesses specializing in fuel distribution. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence emerges as a primary funding agency, with significant focus on international military support. Awards frequently target charcoal briquettes, coal, and various heating fuels, with performance locations spanning the United States, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, and diplomatic missions worldwide. Most awards are not set aside, though some utilize small business or Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise designations.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities include a Department of the Army solicitation for 40,000 pounds of virgin granular activated carbon charcoal for the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, designated as a total small business set-aside. Another opportunity from the United States Marine Corps seeks fuel and oils in support of the Bilat Riverine Exercise in Turbo, Colombia, requesting Regular Fuel, Diesel Fuel, and Motor Oil. These opportunities demonstrate continued government demand for solid fuels and related petroleum products across military and operational contexts, with specific technical requirements and performance specifications governing procurement.
