The solicitation covers multiple delivery modes (tanker, barge, truck, rail, pipeline) and both FOB Origin and Destination terms. Offerors must submit through the mandatory Bulk Offer Entry Tool (OET) and meet extensive technical, security, and transportation evaluation criteria. Small‑business set‑aside goals (women‑owned, service‑disabled veteran‑owned) are included, and the contract period runs from award (expected 2026) through March 31 2027 for ordering, with delivery from April 1 2027 to March 31 2028 (plus a 30‑day carry‑over).
• Total estimated volumes: ~7.2 M gal JP8, ~192 M gal JP5, ~783 M gal JAA, ~153 M gal F76.
• Delivery methods: tanker, barge, truck, rail, pipeline; FOB Origin/Destination as required.
• Mandatory systems: Bulk Offer Entry Tool (OET); registration in SAM is required.
• Small‑business set‑aside: 43 % women‑owned, additional EDWOSB/SDVOSB considerations.
• Evaluation factors: lowest price technically acceptable, transportation penalties, tanker/barge lift constraints, security (NCIS port assessments).
• Offer due date: 26 June 2026 (local time).
• Contract value expected in the low‑billions of dollars, making this a large‑scale, high‑volume fuel supply opportunity for qualified refiners, distributors, and logistics providers.
