Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), on behalf of the U.S. Navy, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking innovative solutions for Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) management, infrastructure enhancement, and leveraging underutilized land and resources. This RFI focuses on DFSP Point Loma, CA, but considers all Navy CONUS locations. Responses are due May 29, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
The Navy aims to identify creative and cost-effective approaches to enhance government fuel facilities, reduce long-term sustainment, maintenance, and modernization costs, and improve operational readiness. This initiative seeks partnerships with private-sector entities to productively use underutilized land, infrastructure assets, and access at DFSPs. The RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to contract.
