ASTM D 4814.

2/ In addition, motor octane number must not be less than 82.

INT-C16.69 FUEL SPECIFICATIONS (PC&S) (DLA ENERGY SEP 2009)

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. The list of such requirements contained in this contract is not intended to be a complete list, and the Contractor shall be responsible for determining the existence of all such requirements.

Selected regional environmental requirements are highlighted in the SPECIFICATIONS (CONT’D) clause. In the event that a Federal, State, or local environmental requirement is more stringent than a fuel specification contained in this contract, the Contractor shall deliver product that complies with the more stringent fuel specification. Product that fails to meet the more stringent fuel specification will be considered to be a nonconforming supply.

Product(s) to be supplied shall fully meet the requirements of the applicable specification(s) as cited below. In the event that compliance with the more stringent fuel specification causes the contractor to incur additional costs, the contractor may request an equitable adjustment.

NOTE: Gasoline, gasohol and reformulated gasoline Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) specification requirements are seasonal and vary geographically throughout the United States.

Therefore, Contractors are expected to know the local, State, or Federal RVP requirements of areas being supplied and comply with those requirements.
