About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation has issued a Special Notice for a single-source contract with VP Racing Fuels, Inc. to procure up to 75,000 gallons of 100ULE unleaded aviation fuel. This fuel will support the Piston Aviation Fuels Initiative (PAFI) and the Eliminate Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions programs, which aim to identify and authorize replacements for the current 100 octane low lead (100LL) aviation gasoline.
The purpose of this procurement is to acquire the only candidate fuel that has successfully passed the FAA's required pre-screening tests, consisting of Detonation Performance, Engine Durability Performance, and Materials Compatibility Performance. As VP Racing Fuel's formulation is the sole fuel that can graduate to the next phase of PAFI testing, the FAA intends to award an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contract with three one-year ordering periods and fixed price CLINS to VP Racing Fuels, Inc. This is a first-time procurement, and the FAA is neither seeking nor accepting unsolicited proposals from other contractors.
