About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy issued this Justification and Approval (J&A) for a non-competitive procurement of 6,300,000 U.S. gallons of Turbine Fuel, Aviation (JAA) conforming to ASTM D 1655 specifications under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency. The procurement was awarded to VetJet Fuels, LLC with an estimated contract value of $17,749,620.00 for a one-time buy (OTB) with a performance period from December 23, 2025, to February 6, 2026. DLA Energy justified the sole-source award based on critical fuel inventory shortages at receiving locations that had reached minimum control limits, which threatened mission readiness and operational continuity, and determined that VetJet was the only available supplier capable of meeting the accelerated delivery timeline required for FOB Destination delivery via barge to Defense Fuel Supply Point Charleston. The contracting officer determined the unit price was fair and reasonable based on market analysis and the contractor's existing contract pricing. The J&A was approved post-award on December 23, 2025, without prior synopsis publication due to the urgent nature of the requirement, with DLA Energy planning future market intelligence initiatives to identify alternative suppliers capable of flexible delivery schedules to mitigate similar supply chain vulnerabilities.
