About this file
This Supplemental Quality Assurance Provision (SQAP) details technical specifications for Turbine Fuel, Aviation (Jet A) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy in January 2025. The document provides comprehensive requirements for aviation jet fuel, including detailed product specifications, additive guidelines, and testing protocols for key fuel characteristics such as Microseparometer (MSEP) ratings, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) content, and various required additives like Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) and Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver (CI/LI).
The specification covers critical technical parameters including acceptable additive concentrations, testing methods, environmental compliance requirements, and provisions for synthetic blend components. Specific requirements include maintaining MSEP ratings between 70-85 depending on additives, limiting FAME content to 50 parts per million, and precise guidelines for introducing additives like FSII at concentrations between 0.07% and 0.10% by volume. The document is intended to ensure high-quality, consistent aviation turbine fuel that meets military and industry standards, with a National Stock Number of 9130-00-359-2026 and product code JAA.

C16.08-1 TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION (JET A) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2025)
NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER PRODUCT NOMENCLATURE PRODUCT CODE
9130-00-359-2026 Turbine Fuel, Aviation, Jet A JAA
Supplies delivered under this contract shall conform to all Federal, State, and local environmental requirements applicable to the geographic location of the receiving activity on the date of delivery. This includes delivery of fuel and documentation in a manner consistent with any existing or after-imposed Title V (Clean Air Act) Permits.
(a) PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS. Jet A shall conform to the requirements of the latest version of ASTM D 1655, Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels, except as modified below, at the custody transfer point.
(b) SPECIFICATION MODIFICATIONS
(1) Microseparometer (MSEP).
(i) The following MSEP ratings apply in the presence of the additives listed below. Values apply at point of manufacture:
Jet-A Additive MSEP Rating, min.
Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) 85
Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver (CI/LI) 80 Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) and Corrosion
Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver (CI/LI)
(ii) MSEP shall be performed on unadditized Jet A that has a custody transfer point on the distribution system using, D7224 or D8073. If either method is not available testing may be conducted with D3948. Passing results (min 85) for D3948 will be considered acceptable. Test failures using D3948 shall be retested using D7224 or D8073. If fuel passes D7224 with a minimum limit of 85 or D8073 with a limit of 88, the fuel is acceptable with no further action.
(2) Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME)
(i) For offerors that will be offering Jet A FOB Destination and/or Origin TT, which involves staging jet fuel at a terminal via a multi-product pipeline, a Certificate of Quality of the issue tank must include testing for FAME for Acceptance of the fuel. The Test method to be used is either IP 585, IP 583, IP 590, IP 599, or ASTM D 7797. The Referee Method is IP 585.
Current ASTM D1655 Jet A specification allows no more than 50 parts per million of FAME in jet fuel.
(c) ADDITIVES.
(1) Additives shall not be premixed with other additives before injection into the fuel.
(2) FUEL SYSTEM ICING INHIBITOR (FSII). When required by contract line item-
(i) FSII shall be added to the fuel and shall be Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (DIEGME) conforming to the latest version of ASTM D4171, Standard Specification for FSIIs, Type III or MIL-DTL-85470C, dated March 5, 2024, Inhibitor, Icing, Fuel System, High Flash, NATO Code Number S-1745.
(ii) FSII shall be added to the fuel so that the resulting concentration in the final blend is between 0.07% and 0.10% by volume.
(iii) When using the 20-ounce aerosol can to introduce FSII during over the wing refueling, determine the fuel quantity and calculate the amount of required additive. This additive shall be added gradually during filling to permit proper blending in the fuel. One can of aerosol additive will inhibit 180 gallons of fuel to 0.087 percent by volume. The use of aerosol FSII is not permitted for U.S. Navy aircraft refueling.
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT-A: APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE:DISTRIBUTION IS UNLIMITED
(3) CORROSION INHIBITOR/LUBRICITY IMPROVER (CI/LI). When required by contract line item-
(i) The additive must conform to MIL-PRF-25017H with Amendment 1, dated August 4, 2011, revalidated May 25, 2021, Inhibitor, Corrosion/Lubricity Improver, Fuel Soluble (NATO S-1747), found in ASSIST and shall be listed in the electronic Qualified Products List (QPL)-25017, located in the Qualified Products Database (QPD) found at https://qpldocs.dla.mil/. The concentration of CI/LI added to the fuel must be between the minimum effective concentration and the maximum allowable concentration as listed for the CI/LI in QPL-25017.
(4) STATIC DISSIPATER ADDITIVE (SDA). When required by contract line item-
(i) SDA shall be added to the fuel and the conductivity limits of 50 to 600 picosiemens per meter (pS/m) at ambient temperature or 29.4oC (85oF), whichever is lower, unless otherwise directed by the procuring activity.
(5) METAL DEACTIVATOR (MDA). MDA shall not be used unless the supplier has obtained PRIOR written consent from the procuring activity.
(6) Product shall be homogeneously mixed. Until all aviation turbine fuel tanks are coated, it is acceptable to perform stratification tests in lieu of circulating tanks to achieve homogeneity.
(d) SYNTHETIC BLEND COMPONENT (SBC) and CO-HYDROPROCESSED SYNTHESIZED KEROSENE
(1) If a fuel containing an SBC or a co-hydroprocessed synthesized kerosene is being offered, notification shall be made to the contracting point of contact with submission of relevant details regarding the blend percentage and which Annex of ASTM D7566 for the synthetic blend component used, and which feedstocks and co-processing percentage for co-hydroprocessed synthesized kerosene.
