Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), on behalf of the U.S. Navy, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking innovative, cost-effective solutions for Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) management, infrastructure enhancement, and leveraging underutilized land and resources. This RFI aims to identify private-sector partnerships to improve DFSP operational readiness and reduce long-term sustainment costs across all Navy CONUS locations. Responses are due by May 29, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals. The Navy is seeking creative and innovative approaches to enhance government fuel facilities while reducing long-term sustainment, maintenance, and modernization costs. The initiative aims to identify opportunities for partnerships that can enhance the material condition of DFSPs by enabling the productive use of underutilized land, infrastructure assets, and access.
Key areas of interest include:
- Leveraging underutilized land, fuel storage/distribution capabilities, and access (wharves, piers, runways) for innovative DFSP management and infrastructure improvement solutions.
- Implementing innovative technologies and methodologies to improve DFSP management.
- Assessing potential business partnerships, private sector investment, and revenue-sharing agreements.
- Addressing environmental considerations, operational concepts, and security requirements.
- Developing facility assessment benchmarks in accordance with Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 3-460-01) and American Petroleum Institute (API) standards.
Background
DFSPs are critical for ensuring the availability of fuel and lubricants for military operations. Current challenges include high costs associated with sustaining, repairing, restoring, and modernizing existing bulk fuels storage and distribution infrastructure. The Navy is actively seeking solutions to address these challenges and improve overall performance and cost-effectiveness.
