United Capital Investments Group Inc.has won a nearly $9.6 million contract to supply fuel for U.S. Air Force operations across the United Kingdom.

The McLean, Virginia, firm received an estimated $9.6 million fixed-price contract with economic-price-adjustment for various types of fuel, according to the Defense Logistics Agency (see war.gov). The award followed a competitive acquisition with five responses received. The three-year deal carries no option periods and sets a June 30, 2029, performance completion date.
