About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency - Energy is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) SPE603-25-R-5X35 to identify potential contractors capable of providing fuel services and operations support for Aviation Turbine Fuel Grade Jet A-1 in Learmonth, Australia. The agency seeks contractors who can provide receipt, storage, additive injection, and issue services for U.S. Government-owned jet fuel through a Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO) facility within 40 kilometers of RAAF Learmonth. Interested vendors must demonstrate capabilities for 24/7 operations including tank truck handling, proper lighting for nighttime operations, and qualified personnel with appropriate clearances if required. Submissions must include company profiles, capability statements, past performance on similar fuel management contracts, and facility location details. The RFI response deadline is August 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM local Fort Belvoir, Virginia time, with submissions directed to Contract Specialist Chris Kidwell and Contracting Officer Careka Squire.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no current contractors or incumbents are identified in the notice. The contract requires storage capacity for 500,000 barrels of Jet A-1 fuel, though vendors may propose alternative capacities if they cannot meet the full requirement. All storage and operational capabilities must be consolidated at a single location to support the mission requirements. The estimated annual throughput will be determined at a later date for each 12-month contract period, indicating this will likely be a recurring annual contract structure. This RFI represents an information-gathering phase only, with no commitment from the government to proceed with procurement or make any awards based solely on these responses.
