Keywords: US Navy, biofuel blends, DLA, bulk fuels, fuel procurement

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), in conjunction with the US Navy, has issued a solicitation for bulk fuels for DLA Energy's customers located in the Inland/East/Gulf Coast regions of the United States. The Inland/East/Gulf Coast is the single largest bulk fuels acquisition program, and it is valued in excess of $3.5 billion.

Significantly, as part of the regular bulk fuel procurement for Inland/East/Gulf, the solicitation is designed to assist the Department of the Navy in meeting its goals to increase the use of biofuels. Under the joint "Farm to Fleet" program of the US Department of Agriculture and Navy, the Navy has a goal that 10 percent of its total military specification of JP-5 aviation turbine fuel and F-76 naval distillate fuel requirements consist of biofuels.
