Government Receiving Equipment: No additional government-furnished receiving equipment is required or provided; commercial delivery tankers must be fully capable of self-sufficient offloading into bladder storage. Operational Scope: Commercial suppliers must demonstrate the capability to source, transport, and offload conforming fuel directly into the government storage bladders while complying strictly with host nation (KSA) laws, environmental standards, safety mandates, and military installation access protocols. 3.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
