    Study Notes

    Contracts and Agreements

    • A Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is considered for repetitive needs for supplies or services for a stated time period, with individual purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (except for commercial items).
    • BPAs are negotiated by DLA Energy after the supported CCDR defines the requirements.

    Into-Plane/Into-Truck Contracts

    • Into-plane contracts are established to refuel military aircraft at commercial airports, ensuring quality products but no guarantee of quantity.
    • DLA Energy negotiates these contracts, and any Service, CCDR, or federal agency can request their establishment.
    • Into-truck contracts are similar, but for filling Service or contractor vehicles for distribution to customers not at the airfield.

    Bunker Contracts

    • Bunker contracts provide propulsion fuel where US Government-owned stocks are not available.
    • They offer various commercial fuel types (MGO, IFO-180, IFO-380) and delivery methods (barge, pipeline, tank truck).
    • The Ships' Bunkers Easy Acquisition (SEA) Card is used to order fuel under the bunker program.

    Direct Delivery and Post, Camp, and Station (PC&S) Contracts

    • DLA Energy establishes direct delivery PC&S contracts and transportation tenders to support the CCDR.

    Host Nation Support (HNS) and Environmental Services

    • HNs provide environmental services through agreements, and the JFC must comply with local laws and regulations.
    • WHNS bulk petroleum infrastructure and transportation assets are crucial in mature theaters, providing logistics support to military operations by fueling equipment and vehicles, enabling troops to perform duties effectively. Strategic locations ensure efficient fuel distribution, reducing logistical complexities and ensuring a steady supply chain.

    International Agreements

    • Fuel or storage support is also provided by commercial sources within foreign countries to US military forces.
    • DLA Energy negotiates these contractual arrangements to provide fuel support at international air or sea ports to meet military requirements.
