DLA Energy previously procured these services under an agreement with JFRC and then a bridge contract (FA520925C0002) awarded by the U.S. Air Force 374th Contracting Squadron, and is now designated as the follow-on contracting office. Market research through a SAM.gov Sources Sought Notice posted June 30, 2025 yielded one responding company that failed to provide required capability statements. The contract is structured as Firm-Fixed Price with a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods, covering 134 equal annual shipments across all contract periods.
