In response to House Report 104-208, we reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) reimbursement pricing policies for the Defense Logistics Agency's bulk and into-plane jet fuel programs. The bulk fuel program refers to jet fuel that the agency's Defense Fuel Supply Center (DFSC) purchases from major commercial suppliers and transports directly (via trucks, pipelines, barges, and railroads) to military installations for use by military and other authorized aircraft. The into-plane program consists of individual contracts between DFSC and fixed-base operators1 who provide jet fuel to authorized aircraft at contractually established prices. These prices are generally less than commercial prices charged at civilian airports. The policies and procedures of the Defense Business Operations Fund (DBOF) 2 govern the setting of standard prices for jet fuel.
