The Government seeks to identify responsible potential sources and obtain information regarding possible suppliers of synthetic fuel for aviation purposes that meets the Fischer-Tropsch draft synthetic fuel specification for delivery to various Air Force and Navy installations for multiple Weapon System testing and subsequent use. The Department of Defense (DoD) is investigating the feasibility of aviation synthetic fuel requirements of up to 200,000,000 U.S. gallons, or any portion thereof, for delivery during calendar year 2008, with 100,000,000 gallons meeting the JP-8 flashpoint of 38 degrees C and 100,000,000 gallons meeting the JP-5 flashpoint of 60 degrees C. PART II: LONG-TERM OBJECTIVE DoD is interested in long-term prospects for the manufacture and supply of aviation synthetic fuels in increasing quantities, with an emphasis on domestic industrial capability and feedstocks. PROCESS This request is to gather information from interested parties and is an essential step in determining market interest for the manufacture and supply of aviation synthetic fuel. In order to minimize costs both to potentially interested parties and the Government, this notice is issued to determine market interest and feasibility as well as determining market strategies for procurement of aviation synthetic fuel. Interested parties should provide a statement of interest on company letterhead. The statement of interest must not exceed a total length of 20 pages. The statement shall include, as a minimum, the following information: (1) ability to meet the draft specification (see Attachment).
