About this file
This is a quality assurance provision (QAP) specification document for aviation turbine fuel (Jet A/A1/A50), combined with a Request for Information (RFI) for the DLA Energy Alaska 3.9 Fuel Program.
The QAP details technical requirements for aviation turbine fuel conforming to ASTM D 1655, including specific requirements for three additives: Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (0.04-0.20% by volume), Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver conforming to MIL-PRF-25017H, and Static Dissipater Additive (conductivity range 50-700 picosiemens/meter). The RFI seeks industry responses by January 25, 2025 for providing approximately 65 million gallons of various fuel types throughout Alaska, including diesel, aviation gas, turbine fuel, and fuel oil burner, delivered via multiple transportation modes (airlift, barge, tank truck/wagon). DLA Energy plans to issue a formal solicitation around March 2, 2025 for a five-year contract period. Interested vendors must provide company details, technical capabilities, fuel supply information, socioeconomic program participation, and Alaska service area coverage in their responses to Sandra Smallwood and DLA Energy FEPAB.

C16.08 TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION (JET A/A1/A50) (INTO-PLANE) (DLA ENERGY MARCH 2013) Aviation turbine fuel shall conform to the requirements of ASTM D 1655, Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels, as modified below.
(a) ADDITIVES.
(1) FUEL SYSTEM ICING INHIBITOR (FSII). When FSII is required by contract line item—
(i) The fuel shall contain 0.04 to 0.20 percent by volume FSII.
(ii) The FSII shall conform to the requirements of the latest version of specification MIL-DTL-85470B dated June 15, 1999, Inhibitor, Icing, Fuel System, High Flash NATO Code Number S-1745, found in the Acquisition Streamlining and Standardization Information System (ASSIST) database, or ASTM D 4171, Standard Specification for FSIIs, Type III.(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 additive required. The 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.
(2) CORROSION INHIBITOR / LUBRICITY IMPROVER (CI/LI). When CI/LI is required by contract line item— The additive shall conform to MIL-PRF-25017H, Amendment 1 dated August 4, 2011, Inhibitor, Corrosion / Lubricity Improver, Fuel Soluble (NATO S-1747), and shall be added at the appropriate concentration as cited in the electronic Qualified Products List (QPL)-25017 located in the Qualified Products Database (QPD). To access the concentration information listed in the QPD, go to the Qualified Products Database website at http://qpldocs.dla.mil/, perform a search for QPL Number 25017, and then click the link labeled “MIL-PRF-25017 Category 1.” The minimum effective and maximum allowable concentrations of each additive are located under the “source notes” link on the right side of the page.
(3) STATIC DISSIPATER ADDITIVE (SDA). When required, the conductivity range shall fall between 50 and 700 picosiemens/meter at ambient temperature or 29.4 degrees Celsius (85 degrees Fahrenheit), whichever is lower.
The following electrical conductivity additive is approved: Stadis® 450 marketed by Innospec Fuel Specialties (formerly Octel Starreon LLC), Newark DE 19702.
(b) JET A50. Type Jet A50 turbine fuel has the same requirements as Jet A turbine fuel, except its maximum freezing point is -50 degrees Fahrenheit (-45.6 degrees C), which is lower than Jet A’s -40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees Celsius) maximum.
