C16.08-13 TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION, THERMALLY STABLE (JPTS) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2021)

In delivering supplies and services under this contract, the Contractor shall conform to all Federal, State, and Local environmental requirements applicable to the geographic location of the receiving activity on the date of delivery. The Contractor shall also comply with all applicable International Agreements, Treaties, Conventions, and the like to which the United States is a signatory or with whose terms the receiving activity has otherwise agreed to comply, including but not limited to, the requirements of MARPOL 73/78, Annex VI Regulations 14 & 18. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the existence of all such requirements prior to the time deliveries are made. This includes delivery of fuel and documentation in a manner consistent with any existing or after-imposed Title V (Clean Air Act) Permits. The list of such requirements contained in this contract is not intended to be a complete list, and the Contractor shall be responsible for determining the existence of all such requirements.

Selected regional environmental requirements are highlighted in the SPECIFICATIONS (CONT’D) clause. In the event that an International, Federal, State, and / or local environmental requirement, as identified above, is more stringent than a requirement contained in this contract, the Contractor shall deliver product(s) that complies with the more stringent requirement. Product(s) that fails to meet the more stringent requirement will be considered nonconforming supply. Product(s) to be supplied shall fully meet the requirements of the applicable specification(s). In the event that compliance with the more stringent requirement causes the contractor to incur additional costs, the contractor may request an equitable adjustment.

JPTS shall meet specification MIL-DTL-25524G, Turbine Fuel, Aviation, Thermally Stable (JPTS), dated February 26, 2019.

(a) ADDITIVES. Line injection of additives (fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) and corrosion inhibitor/lubricity improver (CI/LI)) from shipping tank to delivery conveyance or other Freight on Board (FOB) point is permitted under the following conditions:

(1) Additives must be proportionately injected throughout the entire loading process to ensure the additive is homogeneously blended into the jet fuel. The Contractor shall maintain records evidencing the homogeneous blending of all line-injected additives. Such methods may include meter or tank gauge readings or test results taken at intervals to provide confidence in the injection process.

(2) When FSII is required, additive concentration must be verified based on a representative shipment sample(s).

(3) Conformance to specification requirements at the custody transfer point is required; however, prior to shipment, a laboratory hand blend of jet fuel with all additives required by this contract shall be tested to verify compliance with the required specification.

(b) THERMAL STABILITY TESTING. Thermal stability testing is conducted in accordance with ASTM D3241 (Standard Test Method for Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Turbine Fuels) procedures and testing conditions as defined in MIL- DTL-25524G, February 26, 2019. Heater tube deposit rating shall be measured by ASTM D3241 Annex A2 Interferometric Tube Rater (ITR) or Annex A3 Ellipsometric Tube Rater (ETR). The maximum average deposit thickness over an area of 2.5mm2 for both methods is 85nm. Neither the visual tube rating (VTR) method nor the multi-wavelength ellipsometric tube rating (MWETR) method (ASTM D3241 Annex A1 and Annex A4, respectively) are approved for rating JPTS heater tubes. In addition, the Alcor Mark 8a and Alcor Mark 9 Tube Deposit Rater (TDR) are no longer approved for rating JPTS heater tubes.

(c) FIRST ARTICLE INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS. To be eligible to become a JPTS supplier, product first article inspection requirements for each refinery must be satisfied to include coordinating storage stability testing through Air Force Petroleum Office (mailing address: AFPET/PTPS, 2430 C Street, Building 70, Area B, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45431-7631; email address: AFPET.PTPS@us.af.mil). Storage stability will be assessed using ASTM D3703 Standard Test Method for Hydroperoxide Number of Aviation Turbine Fuels, Gasoline and Diesel Fuels and D5304 Standard Test Method for Assessing Middle Distillate Fuel Storage Stability by Oxygen Overpressure. Bidding vendors shall show proof that the requirement is satisfied by submitting a qualification letter documenting a qualified product and refinery, whose qualification has not exceeded the expiration date identified within the qualification letter, from the Air Force in their offer package. Suppliers that have already completed the first article test IAW with MIL-DTL-25524 (G and previous revisions) do not have to requalify their product or refinery unless the applicable product qualification has expired. The Air Force Petroleum Office is the only authority that, at its option can waive in part or completely product and refinery requalification.

(d) REPORTS. Refer to the MATERIAL INSPECTION AND RECEIVING REPORT contract provision for reporting requirements. In addition, the use of Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) Energy Receiving Report (RR) with a laboratory analysis report for each tank and product lifted is required to document Government contract quality assurance and compliance.
