About this file

This is a federal contract solicitation for into-plane aviation fuel delivery services to be performed at multiple airport locations during the period January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2030. The contract is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy and requires offerors to provide pricing for all mandatory delivery modes identified in the schedule, including into-plane and into-truck delivery options. Pricing must be submitted using the standardized Offer Submission Package (OSP) template, with offerors completing Lines A (Market Price), B (Into-Plane Fee), and C (Total Unit Price) for each applicable Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). Additional pricing lines are required when specific delivery modes such as Into-Plane with Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) or Into-Truck are identified as mandatory requirements. The contract includes economic price adjustment provisions tied to published market prices, with adjustments applied through contract modifications or web-based price changes. Failure to propose pricing for all required delivery modes may result in technical rejection of the proposal.

The solicitation establishes detailed requirements for fuel delivery operations, invoicing, and payment processing through the Aviation Into-Plane Reimbursement (AIR) Card system. All deliveries must be made to authorized Government aircraft or into-truck at respective airports, with contractors required to maintain 24/7 availability and provide calibrated meter measurements in U.S. gallons for invoicing purposes. Contractors must upload weekly pricing and authorized ancillary services to the Price Repository Tool, present fully itemized delivery tickets to AIR Card cardholders before departure, and upload priced invoices and signed delivery tickets within 15 days of transaction submission. The contract specifies authorized users including all Department of War components, National Guard and Reserve activities, and approved U.S. Federal Civilian Agencies aircraft. Offerors that will not perform refueling operations themselves must submit commitment letters from the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) or Refueling Operator (RO) demonstrating support. The minimum acceptance period for proposals is 60 calendar days, and proposals may be submitted via email to DLA-Energy-PH.Requirements@dla.mil in Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, Word, or PowerPoint format, with a maximum file size of 10 MB.

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COST

SUPPLIES AND ESTIMATED QUANTITIES TO BE FURNISHED (INTO-PLANE)

(a) (1) The contract quantities shown below are best estimates only of the Government's requirements for the contract period.

With respect to the products and/or services awarded at each individual airport location, the Contractor is obligated to deliver Into- Plane the supplies and perform the services required at such location, and the Government is obligated to order, accept, and pay for such supplies and/or services required at such location even though the quantities actually required during the contract period may be greater or less than the estimated quantities, except as provided for in the DELIVERY-ORDER LIMITATIONS contract provision.

(2) The estimated quantities shown in the Schedule do not include quantities that may be required by the Government for military exercises that are conducted at a specific airport location. The Government reserves the right to support military/federal exercises by using Government-furnished fuel, equipment, and personnel.

(3) In addition, if a Government facility is located at the airport, the Government shall only order from the Contractor the Government's fuel requirements that are in excess of its in-house capabilities. In such instances, the estimated quantities specified in the Schedule are estimates of requirements in excess of the quantities that the Government may itself furnish within its own capabilities.

(b) REQUIREMENTS. This is a requirement contract for the supplies or services specified and effective for the period stated in the ORDERING (INTO-PLANE) contract provision.

(1) The quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are best estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

Except as this contract may otherwise provide, if the Government's requirements do not result in orders in the quantities DLA Energy described as "estimated" or "maximum" in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment.

(2) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the ordering provisions herein.

Subject to any limitations in the order limitations provisions herein or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the ordering provisions. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.

Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Government shall order from the Contractor all the supplies or services specified in the Schedule that are required to be purchased by the Government activity or activities specified in the Schedule. The Government is not required to purchase from the Contractor requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract. However, the total quantity ordered and required to be delivered by the specified method of delivery during the ordering period may be greater than or less than these total estimated quantities.

(3) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source.

(4) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor's and Government's rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract's effective period;

(c) Unless otherwise specified in the Schedule or the Notes/Exceptions, the Contractor shall perform all fuel deliveries called for under the contract using its established facility for the airport (ICAO) specifically solicited. Offerors must have authorization from the appropriate airport authorities for access to the airport property where the refueling will be performed. Delivery shall encompass all delivery methods available at the airport (hydrant, truck, etc.). Exceptions to this must be stated prior to award.

(d) Prices indicated hereunder are subject to the ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT – MARKET PRICE (DOMESTIC INTO- PLANE) contract provision for the contract period.

(e) For Electronic Point of Sale (POS) information, refer to the DELIVERY AND INVOICING REQUIREMENTS (INTO- PLANE) contract provision.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this contract provision—

(1) The term award price means the unit price set forth opposite the item in the Schedule.

(2) The term market price means the price or average of prices for the same or similar commodity within a market, which is beyond the control of the Contractor, set forth in the publication(s) listed in the Table in paragraph (j) below, from which the award price is to fluctuate.

(3) The term date of delivery means the date and time product under this contract is delivered into-plane.

(4) The term week means a consecutive seven-day period beginning on a Monday.

(5) The term published means issued either in print or electronic format by the service designated to be employed as an escalator, unless otherwise specifically stated.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) The prices payable under this contract shall be adjusted upward or downward through issuance of contract price change modifications or web price changes during the period of performance.

(2) The prices payable hereunder shall be determined by changing the award price by the same number of cents, or fraction thereof, that the market price increases or decreases, as measured in U.S. dollars, per like unit of measure. The frequency of adjustments will be noted in paragraph (j) for each applicable item.

(3) An increase or decrease in the market price shall apply, provided the notification requirements in paragraph (4) below have been met, only to deliveries made on or after the effective date of the price change as stated in the publication.

(4) NOTIFICATION. If required in paragraph (j), the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy), of any change in the market price within 15 days from the date thereof. Increases received after the 15-day notification period shall be effective on the date they are received by the Contracting Officer. Decreases shall be effective the date of the decrease in the price notification to the Contracting Officer and prices shall be adjusted retroactively.

i. INCREASES. Any increase in the unit price as a result of an increase in the market price shall apply only to deliveries made on or after the date of receipt by the Contracting Officer of a written notification from the Contractor of such increase. However, the prices payable under this contract shall in no event exceed the Contractor’s posted or established selling price in effect on the date of delivery for the same product. No modification incorporating an increase in a contract unit price shall be executed pursuant to this contract provision until the increase has been verified by the Contracting Officer.

ii. DECREASES. Price decreases shall apply to deliveries made on or after the effective date of such decrease. If the

Contract price adjustments shall be provided via notification through contract modifications and/or posting to the DLA Energy web page at http://www.dla.mil/Energy/ under the heading Doing Business with Energy and then Prices to Web. The contractor shall notify the contracting officer of any discrepancy in the calculation of the price adjustment for resolution prior to submitting an invoice. The contractor shall be liable to the Government for any administrative fee charged by the AIR Card® contractor to reprocess a transaction to correct any overpayment or underpayment resulting from the contractor’s failure to verify the calculation of the price adjustment prior to invoicing.

(7) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Contractor agrees that the total increase in any contract unit price pursuant to these economic price adjustment provisions shall not exceed 400 percent of the award price in any applicable program year (whether a single year or a multiyear program), except as provided hereafter.

i. If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that within the near future a price adjustment under the conditions of this contract provision will be required that will exceed the current contract ceiling price for any item, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the expected increase. The notification shall include a revised ceiling sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.

ii. If an actual increase in the reference price would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the

Contractor shall have no obligation under this contract to fill pending or future orders for such item, as of the effective date of the increase, until the Contracting Officer issues either a contract modification to raise the ceiling or written notification that the ceiling will not be raised.

(8) REVISION OF MARKET PRICE INDICATOR. In the event any applicable market price is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially, the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute for determining the price adjustment described hereunder. No retroactive adjustments will be made.

(9) CORRECTIONS. Platts issues corrections to its published prices on a regular basis. Platts posts corrections to its website (www.platts.com for its subscribers). If a correction to a reference price is found on Platts website, all of the items that use that reference price will be corrected. DLA Energy will correct any other reference prices as notice of the correction is received. DLA Energy will work with the pricing services to determine the appropriate price, where an offeror or contractor can show that the price referenced should be reviewed.

(d) FAILURE TO DELIVER. Notwithstanding any other conditions of this contract provision, no upward adjustment shall apply to product scheduled under the contract to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor’s failure to deliver according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor’s control and without its fault or negligence, within the meaning of paragraphs (f), Excusable Delays, and (m), Termination for Cause, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of this contract, in which case the contract shall be amended to make an equitable extension of the delivery schedule.

(e) IMPORTANT: All of the proposed market prices listed in the Table below must meet the provisions set forth under the

EVALUATION OF OFFERS SUBJECT TO ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT provision.

(f) CONVERSION FACTORS. If this contract provision requires quantity conversion for economic price adjustment purposes, the conversion factors for applicable products, as specified in the CONVERSION FACTORS provision, apply unless otherwise specified in the Schedule. For quantity conversion factors not listed in the CONVERSION FACTORS provision, the Contractor should contact the DLA Energy Contracting Officer.

(g) EXAMINATION OF RECORDS. The Contractor agrees that the Contracting Officer or designated representatives shall have the right to examine the Contractor's books, records, documents, or other data the Contracting Officer deems necessary to verify Contractor adherence to the conditions of this contract provision.

(h) FINAL INVOICE. The Contractor shall include a statement on the final invoice that the amounts invoiced hereunder have applied all decreases required by this contract provision.
