About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Energy is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the biennial Deep Freeze Program solicitation SPE602-25-R-0710, which provides critical fuel supplies to McMurdo Station, Antarctica. The procurement seeks three specific fuel products: 6,500,000 US gallons of Turbine Fuel, Aviation, AN8 (an ultra-low sulfur product), 600,000 US gallons of Turbine Fuel, Aviation, JP5, and 160,000 US gallons of Fuel, Gasoline, MUM. The contract requires FOB origin terms with tanker delivery, and only one contract will be awarded, meaning all offerors must be capable of providing all three fuel products. There appears to be a discrepancy in the ordering period dates, with some documents indicating the period runs through January 31, 2026, while others state March 30, 2026, both with a 30-day carryover period for placing delivery orders. The response deadline for this pre-solicitation is July 18, 2025.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the available documentation. The procurement falls under NAICS code 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) and PSC code 9130 (Liquid Propellants And Fuels, Petroleum Base), indicating the specialized nature of the fuel products required. The total fuel quantity amounts to approximately 7.26 million gallons across all three products, representing a substantial fuel delivery operation to support operations at the remote Antarctic research station. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the significant quantities and specialized delivery requirements to Antarctica suggest this will be a high-value procurement. The procurement is structured as a single delivery contract, emphasizing the logistical complexity of supplying fuel to one of the world's most remote locations.
