About this file

This Supplemental Quality Assurance Provision (SQAP) details specifications for Turbine Fuel, Aviation (JP5) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, effective January 2025. The document provides comprehensive technical requirements for JP-5 aviation fuel, including specific modifications to standard specifications such as filtration time reporting, flash point testing procedures, and regional variations in flash point requirements for locations like California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Australia. Key technical requirements include precise guidelines for fuel additives, synthetic blend components, sampling procedures, and testing protocols, with specific instructions for batch sampling and submission of quality certificates to the US Naval Research Laboratory.

The document covers multiple National Stock Numbers for JP-5 fuel, mandates the use of Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) and Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver (CI/LI) additives, and establishes detailed testing and reporting requirements. Special provisions include unique requirements for the Deep Freeze Program (Antarctic operations), guidelines for line injection of additives, and comprehensive sampling instructions. Contractors must provide detailed documentation, including full-specification test reports, for each fuel batch, with additional requirements for samples containing synthetic components. The provision is approved for public release with unlimited distribution.

C16.01 TURBINE FUEL, AVIATION (JP5) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2025)

NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER PRODUCT NOMENCLATURE DLA ENERGY PRODUCT

9130-00-273-2379 Turbine Fuel, Aviation, JP-5 JP5 9130-01-499-9521 Turbine Fuel, Aviation, JP-5 (Bunker fuel overseas locations only)

JP5

Product shall meet MIL-DTL-5624X, Turbine Fuel, Aviation, Grade JP-5, dated February 12, 2024.

(a) SPECIFICATION MODIFICATION: The requirements of Table I in the specification are modified as follows:

(1) FILTRATION TIME TESTING. Round upwards when reporting the filtration time, in minutes. For example, a filtration time of 4 minutes, 22 seconds, would be reported as 5 minutes.

(2) FLASH POINT TESTING. The referee procedure for performing flash point testing of JP-5 shall be the manual method of the latest revision of ASTM D93, as opposed to the automated version of ASTM D93.

(3) FLASH POINT.

(i) All batches of JP-5 that are presented for Government acceptance at origin and for subsequent shipment through a multiproduct pipeline, shall meet a minimum flash point requirement of 62.5°C. This requirement is meant to address multiproduct commercial pipelines and does not apply to multiproduct systems within a facility.

(ii) In the U.S. all JP-5 deliveries in California, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska shall have a minimum Flash Point of 62.5 oC at the custody transfer point.

(iii) In Australia all JP-5 deliveries shall have a minimum Flash Point of 61.5°C at the custody transfer point.

(4) ACID NUMBER. For JP-5 delivered to Kodiak Island, Alaska, the maximum total acid number shall be 0.020 mg KOH/g.

(5) MICRO-SEPAROMETER (MSEP) REQUIREMENTS.

(i) Prior to initial production under this contract, the Contractor shall elect, on a one-time basis, which MSEP limit to meet for the balance of the contract. If the Contractor introduces Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) and/or Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver (CI/LI) after verification of product conformance with the MSEP requirement, the product is not required to meet a fixed limit on subsequent MSEP tests.

(ii) If the Contractor elects to verify conformance with the MSEP requirement on a sample of product that does not contain

FSII and CI/LI, an additional MSEP test shall be performed on a hand blend containing jet fuel, FSII, CI/LI, and Antioxidant (only if required). The FSII shall be added to this hand blend at a concentration range between 0.08 volume percent minimum and 0.11 volume percent maximum. The amount of the CI/LI added to this hand blend shall be within the concentration range specified in QPL-25017.

(6) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT APPLICABLE TO DEEP FREEZE PROGRAM ONLY. The Deep Freeze Program is for Antarctic operations of the Department of Defense and other federal agencies; whereby JP-5 sulfur content shall not exceed 0.0015 mass-percent (15 ppm).

(b) ADDITIVES.

(1) Additives are required for deliveries of JP-5, per MIL-DTL-5624X, dated February 12, 2024, unless addition is excluded by specific solicitation line item, applicable contract clause, or another contractual requirement. FSII included in jet fuel shall conform to MIL- DTL- 85470C, Inhibitor, Icing, Fuel System, High Flash, dated March 5, 2024.

(2) The CI/LI additive(s) used shall conform to MIL-PRF-25017H Inhibitor, Corrosion/Lubricity Improver, Fuel Soluble, w/Amendment

1, dated August 4, 2011, and revalidated May 25, 2021,

(3) Line injection of additives (FSII and CI/LI) from shipping tank to delivery conveyance or other free on board (FOB) point is permitted under the following conditions:

(i) 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.

(ii) When FSII is required, additive concentration must be verified based on a representative sample from each shipping conveyance.

(c) Conformance to specification requirements at the custody transfer point is required, however, prior to shipment, a laboratory hand blend of JP-5 fuel with all additives required by this contract shall be tested to verify compliance with the required specification (except for MSEP). MSEP analysis shall be performed per the Contractor’s election in MIL-DTL-5624X, dated February 12, 2024.

(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. Only synthetic blend components approved in ASTM D7566, MIL-DTL-83133, and MIL-DTL-5624 and co-hydroprocessed synthesized kerosene produced from approved feedstock and percentage in ASTM D1655, MIL-DTL-83133, and MIL-DTL-5624 shall be acceptable to the government
