The fuel is required for a one-day delivery on January 16, 2026, with a delivery window extending to January 17, 2026, to allow for quality assurance. Deliveries will be made via tank truck with 44,000-gallon bladder tanks to the Charlie Taxiway. The vendor must provide escorts if needed, and ensure all empty ISO-containers are removed by January 24, 2026. Critical requirements include adherence to Tinian EPA rules, provision of Certificates of Analysis (CoA) conforming to MIL-STD-3004 for Jet A-1, and drivers possessing necessary airport access paperwork.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy's Supplemental Quality Assurance Provision (SQAP) outlines critical requirements for fuel supplies, emphasizing adherence to federal, state, and local environmental regulations, especially those related to the Clean Air Act's Title V Permits. The provision mandates that if environmental requirements are more stringent than fuel specifications, the stricter rules must be followed, or the product will be deemed nonconforming. It details the necessity of Certificates of Analysis (COAs), also known as Certificates of Quality or test reports, which must be no older than 90 days from the solicitation's issue date and include sample test dates, test results, test methods, and a laboratory manager's signature. For the Direct Delivery Fuels Purchase program, 'Typicals' or 'specification sheets' are acceptable for domestic aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, and heating oil, but COAs are mandatory for all overseas locations and for Marine Gasoil (MGO) regardless of location. The document also provides guidance on accessing defense and federal specifications through the Department of Defense's ASSIST database (https://assist.dla.mil) or ASSIST Quick Search (http://quicksearch.dla.mil), clarifying that commercial or foreign specifications must be obtained from their respective sponsoring organizations.
