Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), on behalf of the United States Navy (USN), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI), SPE603-26-R-5X37, to gather industry insights for innovative, cost-effective solutions for Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) management, infrastructure enhancement, and leveraging underutilized land and resources at Navy CONUS locations. This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. Responses are due by May 29, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
The Navy seeks creative approaches to enhance government fuel facilities and reduce long-term sustainment, maintenance, and modernization costs. This initiative aims to identify partnerships with private-sector entities to improve DFSP material condition by enabling productive use of underutilized land, infrastructure assets, and access. The RFI is authorized under Section 2667 of Title 10, United States Code, for potential out-lease agreements. All Navy CONUS locations are under consideration.
Background & Challenges
DFSPs are critical for military fuel operations but face high costs for sustaining, repairing, restoring, and modernizing existing bulk fuels storage and distribution infrastructure (tanks, pipelines, piers, wharves). The Navy is seeking innovative solutions, potentially integrated with underutilized assets, to address these challenges and improve overall performance and cost-effectiveness.
