The Government will not provide connection fittings/adapters.

FOB Destination basis:

The Government is responsible for all costs associated with the transportation of the fuel to the designated facility and maintains ownership of the fuel until delivery.

The product will be sold in United States Gallons (USG). The description of the product is based on the best information available to the Government.

A laboratory analysis of product in each respective tank will be provided as part of any resultant solicitation. This analysis will be performed prior to issuance of any solicitation and may not reflect the condition of the product at the time of sale.
