Things to watch (13)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Serious: Several registrations needed before you can bid. Offers are valid only if you are registered in SAM, WAWF and DIBBS and hold the OET-100 role, which is requested through AMPS and approved by email. Without OET access you cannot enter prices. Check a SAM.gov registration.
- Serious: Fuel supply and transport proof is required to be technically acceptable. An offer without supplier and transportation commitment letters and a current certificate of analysis for each line item is unacceptable, so you need real fuel sources and carriers lined up for island delivery before bidding.
- Worth checking: Two email addresses for emailed offers. The notice says to email the offer to Omar.Joyce@dla.mil and Candy.Cross@dla.mil, while the e-mail proposals supplement lists DLAENERGYFEPAA@dla.mil. Ask the contracting office which governs, or send to all.

- Worth checking: Deliveries to Palau, outside the United States. Line items 0002 and 0005 deliver to South Port, Palau, where a Marine escort is required. Offers are in U.S. dollars with taxes included in unit prices; the read text does not state host-country licenses, a local office or registration.
- Worth checking: Remote island deliveries with base access rules. Tinian tanks are off the military installation and need coordination with the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Biosecurity Office; other sites need base access, escorts and special fittings.
- Worth checking: 2-hour delivery during storm alerts on several lines. Guam lines at Andersen Air Force Base, the Navy hospital, the Orote power plant and Naval Base Guam require delivery within 2 hours of a verbal order under Typhoon Condition of Readiness 3.
- Worth checking: Security clearance named for Andersen Air Force Base lines. Line items 0006 and 0007 list a security clearance with the delivery ticket notes; the type of clearance or base access is not explained in the text read.
- Worth checking: Off-spec fuel needs an exception request, decided after closing. If you cannot meet the fuel quality terms, you must ask for an exception, and the Government will not say whether it is acceptable until after the offer period closes.
- Worth checking: Sea shipping must use U.S.-flag vessels. Fuel moved by sea to the islands falls under a clause that requires U.S.-flag vessels unless the Government approves a waiver, with notice to the Maritime Administration after award.
- Worth checking: Fixed Government price index for the whole term. Prices rise and fall daily with the Platts index listed for each line, not with your cost or profit, and no other index is accepted.
- Minor: Quantities are estimates only. Orders may differ from the listed gallons, within the 10 percent variation Amendment 0002 allows, so volume is not guaranteed.
- Minor: Open continuous solicitation. New line items may be added by amendment until March 31, 2030, each with its own closing date, so later chances to bid may follow.
- Minor: Offers must stay open 180 days. An offer with a shorter acceptance period may be rejected.
