How to bid on Fuel Services and Operations Support on GUAM for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Defense Logistics Agency Energy is seeking information from companies that can provide fuel services and operations support on the island of Guam. This involves receiving, storing, adding additives to, and shipping government-owned aviation fuel.
The agency needs a facility at a single location capable of storing approximately 3.013 million barrels of fuel, with an estimated annual throughput of 2,150,447 barrels. This is a significant opportunity for firms with the infrastructure and expertise in fuel logistics.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on August 06, 2026. Interested firms must submit their capabilities and company information by August 21, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.
The deadline is firm. Submissions received after this time may not be considered. This is an RFI, so it is not a request for offers and will not result in a contract award at this stage. It is for information gathering only.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for firms with substantial experience in fuel storage, handling, and logistics, particularly those with existing operations or the capability to establish operations on the island of Guam. The requirement for a single-location facility capable of storing over 3 million barrels of aviation fuel (Jet A-1 and JP-5) indicates a need for large-scale infrastructure.
Companies specializing in facilities management, petroleum product storage, and distribution, especially those with past performance as a prime or subcontractor for similar fuels management requirements, would be well-suited.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you must email your submission to [email protected] by the deadline. Ensure the RFI number SPE603-26-R-5X70 is included in the subject line of your email.
Your submission should include: a company profile (employees, revenue, locations, DUNS/CAGE, business size, status), a capability statement explaining your firm's ability to provide contractor-owned, contractor-operated fuel storage facilities and services, details of past performance on similar contracts, and the location/address of your facility.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
When preparing your response, clearly address each requested item. For your company profile, ensure all details are accurate and up-to-date. Your capability statement should directly speak to the specific requirements outlined, such as receiving, storing, additive injection, and shipment of aviation turbine fuel grades JP-8 and Jet A-1.
Highlight any experience with large-scale fuel storage (over 3 million barrels) and high throughput volumes (over 2 million barrels annually). If you have experience with both commercial and military grade fuels, emphasize this. Provide specific examples in your past performance section, detailing contract numbers, agencies, periods, values, and the exact services provided that relate to contractor-owned, contractor-operated fuels management.
