JP-5 delivered to Kodiak Island, Alaska, has a maximum acid number of 0.020 mg KOH/g. Contractors must elect a Micro-Separometer (MSEP) limit, with additional testing required for hand blends containing additives.

Additives like Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) and Corrosion Inhibitor/Lubricity Improver (CI/LI) are required as per MIL-DTL-85470C and MIL-PRF-25017H, respectively, and can be line-injected under specific conditions to ensure homogeneous blending. Synthetic blend components and co-hydroprocessed synthesized kerosene require notification and must be government-approved. The government may request additional 5-gallon samples quarterly and requires 20 mL samples from each tank in a procurement batch, along with a Refinery Certificate of Quality or Certificate of Analysis, to be shipped to Naval Air Station HAZMART.
