Providing 

Energy 

 Solutions 

 Worldwide
2

The Defense Logistics Agency is America’s combat 

logistics support agency responsible for sourcing 

and providing nearly every consumable item used by 

our military forces worldwide. DLA Energy is a DLA 

major subordinate command responsible for providing 

the Department of Defense and other government 

agencies with comprehensive energy solutions in the 

most effective and efficient manner possible. 

DLA Energy’s roots date back to World War II. 

Originally, the organization was an entity of the 

Department of Interior as the Army-Navy Petroleum 

Board with the mission of administering critical 

petroleum requirements during the war. In 1945, the 

organization was transferred to the War Department 

and became the Joint Army-Navy Purchasing Agency. 

The organization underwent several name changes, 

but its mission of administering critical petroleum 

requirements remained essentially the same until 

1962. At that time, it became a part of the consolidated 

military supply organization called the Defense Supply 

Agency. Today, that agency is known as the Defense 

Logistics Agency. In 1964, DLA Energy was renamed 

the Defense Fuel Supply Center and designated as a 

single entity to purchase and manage DoD’s petroleum 

products and coal. 

In 1973, DLA Energy progressed from a wholesale fuel 

central procurement activity to a more comprehensive 

mission as the Integrated Materiel Manager for 

the DoD petroleum mission. Phase I of IMM added 

management of the acquisition, storage, distribution 

and sale of fuel with responsibility ending at the 

Service installation boundary. In 1991, Phase II 

expanded the ownership of bulk petroleum products to 

include most bulk storage installations. 

In 1990, DLA Energy’s mission was expanded to 

include the supply and management of natural gas in 

addition to basic petroleum and coal products. Natural 

gas requirements were consolidated and centrally 

procured with goal of providing direct supply natural 

gas to customers when determined more economical 

than using gas from a local distribution company. 

In 1998, DLA Energy became the Defense Energy 

Support Center with a new mission to build an 

energy program aimed at moving the DoD out of the 

management of energy infrastructure and into the 

management of energy products. 

The initiative to deregulate electricity in the U.S. added 

another mission to DLA Energy’s responsibilities. As 

states deregulated, DLA Energy pursued and awarded 

contracts for electricity services to DoD and federal 

civilian agency installations. 

With the issuance of Defense Reform Initiative 

#49 in 1998, which directed the military services to 

privatize their utility systems, DLA Energy took the 

lead providing contracting expertise in support of 

aggressive DRI goals. DLA Energy developed a core 

competency in utilities privatization and has become 

the single procurement organization for Army and Air 

Force utility services contracting.

In 2001, DLA Energy assumed a new mission from the 

U.S. Air Force to serve as the DoD’s IMM for space 

and space-related products and services, providing 

support and business solutions to not only the DoD but 

also other federal agencies, government contractors 

and academia. The addition of this mission made DLA 

Energy a full service provider of all energy and energyrelated products.

In 2002, DLA Energy assumed the mission to manage 

and perform the worldwide energy quality mission, 

consolidating functions previously performed by the 

Defense Contract Management Agency.

In 2004, the Secretary of Defense designated DLA as 

the Executive Agent for bulk petroleum. The authority 

was delegated to DLA Energy with the responsibility 

to execute Supply Chain Management for all DoD bulk 

petroleum, with an emphasis on improving efficiency 

and minimizing duplication and redundancy within the 

supply chain.

In 2006, DLA Energy became the DoD IMM for both 

bulk Aviator’s Breathing Oxygen and liquid nitrogen 

which were previously managed by DLA Aviation.

In 2009, DLA Energy’s mission continued to expand, 

incorporating emerging areas of renewable and 

alternative energy sources. As the nation embraced 

conservation, had a renewed awareness of 

environmental impact and sought energy security, 

DLA Energy’s business units pursued solar power, 

hydrogen power, synthetic fuels and other alternative 

fuel and renewable energy sources as new 

procurement, research and development initiatives 

materialized.

In 2010, DLA Energy adopted its current name in 

support of DLA’s “We Are DLA” initiative. DLA Energy 

supported a single-agency environment, internally 

and externally, building a greater sense of community 

and ownership for employees and creating a clearer 

and more definitive identity for customers and 

stakeholders. 

In 2012, DLA Energy set new standards for disaster 

relief efforts following Super Storm Sandy with the 

delivery of more than nine million gallons of fuel to 

New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

In 2014, DLA Energy transitioned from the Energy 

Convergence program to the DLA Enterprise Business 

System, which standardized processes, transactions 

and normalized service measures applying DLA 

Material Supply Chains evaluations to DLA Energy 

products and services.

In 2016, DLA Energy awarded its largest energy 

savings performance contract to date at Tinker Air 

Force Base. The $243 million facility modernization 

project will save at least $20 million annually in energy 

and operational costs over the 25-year contract.

In 2016, the Command and Control, or C2, initiative 

improved the way the DLA regional commands and 

Major Subordinate Commands interfaced with their 

customers.

In 2017, a DLA General Order designated the six DLA 

organizations as Major Subordinate Commands. While 

the change did not affect the organization’s name, 

organizational structure, mission, or functions, it did 

help customers better understand DLA services and 

provided them more consistent DLA engagement.

DLA became the first DoD agency to undergo a 

financial statement audit. The Independent Public 

Accountant Ernst & Young arrived in August 2016 to 

conduct the audit. The agency’s goal to obtaining an 

‘unmodified’ opinion is to have a strong internal control 

program, which includes all DLA Energy personnel 

providing evidential matter to support transactions and 

compliance with interim policy.

Through evolution in mission and name changes, DLA 

Energy is committed to providing world class support 

to the Warfighter.

Mission and Vision
4

In our continuing pursuit of excellence in achieving DLA’s strategic goals, DLA 

Energy achieved significant accomplishments on land, at sea, and in space 

supporting the Warfighter and our federal partners in FY19. 

As the supplier of fuel to our military around the world including alternative 

and renewable energy, quality and technical support, fuel card programs and 

installation energy products and services, DLA Energy procured 94 million barrels 

of bulk petroleum worth $12.1 billion. In support of the whole of government, 

we supplied 94% of U.S. government fuel purchases totaling $490 million. DoD, 

federal, and commercial customers launched rockets and satellites loaded with 

DLA Energy-supplied propellants for missions and research, including 25,500 

pounds of rocket fuel to re-supply the International Space Station. 

Actively going above and beyond to develop innovative and efficient solutions 

which build a more secure, resilient supply chain, reduce energy costs, and 

improve mission assurance, DLA Energy employees earned Federal Energy and Water Management Awards for 

the third year in a row. Managed by the U.S. Department of Energy, these annual awards recognize individuals, 

groups, and agencies for their contributions in the areas of energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use of 

advanced and renewable energy technologies at federal facilities.

The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy and Joint Staff J4-sponsored and USINDOPACOM J4-

hosted Joint Force Energy Wargame assessed gaps in fuel storage and distribution, identified opportunities 

to increase energy supply chain resiliency, and evaluated the implications of threats to energy sources. The 

wargame was focused on energy-related issues and will prove valuable as we anticipate future needs and work 

to improve supply chain resiliency and security.

During the 2019 Arctic Expeditionary Capabilities Exercise in the Aleutian Islands, South Central Alaska and 

Southern California, fuel quality assurance and technical support in the remote, limited environments were 

the focus for DLA Energy personnel. During the exercise, the USS Petersburg (T-AOT-9101) transferred bulk

liquid over-the-shore into a bladder farm using the Offshore Petroleum Distribution System, a critical asset for 

contingencies and Defense Support of Civil Authorities activities.

As Hurricane Dorian moved slowly, but dangerously along the East Coast, a DLA Energy team forward deployed 

to support the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The six-person DLA Energy Task Force Americas team 

had 71 fuel vehicles loaded, staged, and ready to respond to FEMA requests for fuel support. TFA is a team of 

first responders who manage FEMA’s contingency fuel contract under the Defense Support of Civil Authorities 

mission.

Focusing efforts on relationship building, business reform, and government-wide efficiency, DLA Energy held 

a well-attended and successful 2019 Worldwide Energy Conference featuring more than 100 workshops and 

welcomed more than 125 vendors on the interactive trade show floor. A signature networking and educational 

event, the WWEC showcased DLA Energy’s Warfighter support and provided customers, suppliers, and whole 

of government partners an opportunity to meet and discuss current trends and emerging technologies in the 

energy supply chain.

Furthermore, understanding the importance of networking, DLA Energy routinely pursued opportunities to 

meet with current and potential industry partners. In July, DLA Energy held a constructive networking session 

during the second annual DLA Industry Day providing the acquisition community an opportunity to network with 

industry representatives and further solidify valuable relationships. 

The success of our ability to deliver comprehensive energy solutions rests on a dedicated and talented 

workforce. From ships’ bunkers contracts to utility services contracts, DLA Energy professionals procured and 

managed energy products and services valued in excess of $12.1 billion including awarding four strategic bulk 

fuel procurement programs.

In closing, I want to thank the entire DLA Energy workforce located across the globe for their hard work and 

dedication in helping us achieve these accomplishments. The success of our Warfighters and other whole of 

government partners is inextricably linked to the global support you provide each and every day.

DLA Energy executes its missions to support the Warfighter and deliver comprehensive energy solutions 

mainly thanks to a dedicated and talented acquisition community. DLA Energy acquisition professionals 

procured and managed energy products and services valued in excess of $12.1 billion. 

DLA Energy continued to build strong industry partnerships through its Supplier Advocate position and 

the newly established Supplier Advocacy Council. This dedicated group brought creativity and passion for 

industry engagement to monthly meetings, which focus on executing the DLA Industry Engagement Plan. 

To drive internal change, the SAC analyzed DLA Energy’s portion of the DLA Supplier Feedback Survey to 

determine the best courses of action. 

In July 2019, DLA Energy participated in the second annual DLA Industry Day providing the acquisition 

community an opportunity to network with industry representatives and further solidify valuable relationships. DLA Energy held a 

constructive Industry Day networking session using a format found valuable during the 2019 Worldwide Energy Conference. DLA 

Energy understands the importance of networking and routinely pursues opportunities with current and potential industry partners. 

The well-attended and successful 2019 WWEC featured more than 100 educational and informative workshops and welcomed more

Energy Savings Performance Contracts

Source: DLA Energy Installation Energy

DLA Energy has partnered with various energy service companies to complete energy savings projects on 

behalf of Defense Department installations. The ESCO conducts a comprehensive energy audit and identifies 

improvements to save energy. In consultation with DLA Energy and the installation, the ESCO designs and 

constructs a project that meets the installation’s needs and arranges the necessary funding. The ESCO 

guarantees that the improvements will generate energy cost savings to pay for the project over the term of 

the contract (up to 25 years). After the contract ends, all additional cost savings accrue to the installation

Strategic Policy and Programs

FY19 Accomplishments: Audit & Sustainment Office 

 • Teamed with DLA Energy regions and military services to assess Audit Readiness at 42 

locations at 34 DFSPs around the world. Successfully met all Independent Public Auditor objectives 

for testing DLA Energy’s performing and documenting physical inventory, assessing design and 

effectiveness of internal controls, and obtaining requested support documentation for hundreds of 

record queries. Maintained aggressive efforts mapping the way to government audit goals

FY19 Accomplishments: Strategic Initiatives Office

 • Hosted the French Service Des Essences des Armees, the French Ministry of Defense’s 

equivalent of DLA Energy. SEA and DLA Energy leaders visited Fort Lee meeting with the U.S. 

Army Quartermaster General Brig. Gen. Douglas McBride and touring the Petroleum and Water 

Department training facilities then met with the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy 

Lisa Jung 

 • Hosted the annual Joint Petroleum Seminar with over 100 participants from across the DoD 

petroleum community. The JPS provides overviews of important policies, addresses strategic and 

operational issues, explains and demonstrates supporting systems and applications, and details 

Military Service petroleum and energy programs

 • Assessed the DoD bulk petroleum supply chain training needs and provided technical 

oversight on the award of a services contract to develop and teach joint bulk petroleum supply 

chain DoD civilian and military personnel

Strategic Policy and Programs

Source: SPPD

FY19 Accomplishments: Strategy Management & Process Improvement Office

 • Led a CPI effort focused on standardizing the Fuel Requirements Validation Process to ensure 

fuel requirements are accurately captured and recorded for customers worldwide. The new process 

is now applied across all programs (spanning several countries and four CONUS regions), and has 

increased the data accuracy rate from 20% to above 80% on average (100% in some cases) for 

2,748 lines of data

FY19 Accomplishments: Policy & Procedures Management Office

 • Facilitated the signing of the Navy Afloat Memorandum of Agreement. DLA Energy assumed 

ownership of Navy inventory in FY2003, and DLA Energy and Navy components engaged since 2012 

in negotiating an agreement addressing the Navy’s management of DLA-owned fuel inventoried on 

Navy vessels. A finalized MOA supports DLA Energy’s auditability of this DLA-owned inventory

 • DLA Energy P-17, Exercise and Contingency Operations, was revised, published, and 

superseded the version dated July 19, 2012. This publication establishes responsibilities and 

processes necessary for the U.S. Military to requisition, order, and receive DLA Energy commodities 

to support military exercises and contingency operations to include fuel additization

 • Published DLA Energy P-15, Defense Wide Working Capital Fund Capitalization. This procedural 

document provides instructions for the submission, evaluation, and approval of nominated facilities, to 

include compliance, oversight, and remedies for noncompliance regarding management of Defense 

Wide Working Capital Fund inventory. This document supersedes DLA Energy P-15 dated January 1, 

2012 and DLA Energy P-15 Appendix 5, Appendix Fuel Customer Listing, May 11, 2011

 • Started the process to comply with the Department of Treasury’s G-Invoicing system, which all 

Federal Program Agencies must use to process intragovernmental buy/sell transactions by 2021

Quality Investigations

• Non-Routine POL Quality Investigations:

» Investigation of localized thermal stability issues in F-24 Aviation Fuel: A joint DLA Energy Quality Technical 

Directorate and Naval Petroleum Office investigation group was formed to study jet fuel thermal stability issues at a 

DFSP. The group is working with the supplier, USN, and USAF stakeholders to determine the root cause analysis of 

the issue through site visits, investigative laboratory testing, and deep-dive data analysis. The group is developing a 

remediation plan to deal with off-specification product

» Off-Specification Strategic Reserve JP5: Strategic Reserve JP5 showed thermal stability failures. Subsequently, a 

joint working group was formed with DLA Energy Quality Technical Directorate, NPO and other stake holders. The 

group has developed potential Courses of Actions including regrading, rehabilitation, and/or disposal, and continues 

to work on the disposition options

» Off-Specification Turbine Fuel, Aviation, Thermally Stable (JPTS): JPTS fuel showed failing thermal stability in 

accordance with the requirements in JPTS specification. DLA Energy Quality Directorate worked with the supplier 

and USAF to ensure immediate remediation and development of a permanent solution to the problem. The culprit 

for the failed thermal stability was correctly identified and resolved at the supplier site through site visits and 

chemical and physical analysis of the off-specification JPTS

• DoD Fuels Stability Steering Group: Formed to address issues related to fuel stability experienced by 

DoD over the past several years pertaining to aviation fuel and marine diesel. The scope of this group is larger than 

that of the CRC Fuel Stability Panel. Areas of focus include logistics, sampling, testing, chemistry, and analytics as
