The contract includes specific delivery requirements with minimum orders of 20 metric tons via barge and pumping rates of approximately 1,500-2,000 barrels per hour. Performance will occur at Fort Belvoir, VA, for contract administration purposes, while actual fuel deliveries will take place at the Saudi Arabian ports of Jeddah and Yanbu.
