Under this contract, the contractor is responsible to receive, store, and issue two grades of U.S. Government owned products with appropriate controls to ensure adequate fuel quality, inventory accuracy and environmental compliance in accordance with DLA Energy guidance, industry standards, and best commercial practices and complying with all applicable local policies, procedures, guidance and regulations.

The contractor will perform all fuel operations, inventory management, quality surveillance, maintenance, training, safety and environmental protection functions at the bulk storage site. The contractor is responsible for safely receiving and issuing fuel without causing delay, interruption, or demurrage. When directed by DLA Energy or when required for normal operations, the contractor is responsible for transferring products between tanks to consolidate types or grades.
