Clear Jet A1 RFQ requirements help a prospective supplier assess your purchase and explain the conditions of its quotation. Define the specification, quantity, location, delivery window and receiving requirements before requesting a price.

This checklist supports bulk cargo procurement. Airport delivery and into-plane refuelling are separate requirements that must be explicitly identified and confirmed.

Jet A1 RFQ Requirements Checklist

State which requirements are firm and which are open for discussion. A preference for a port or date does not establish that suitable supply is available.

Describe Your Purchase Before Asking for a Supplier

A useful enquiry gives a prospective supplier enough information to assess feasibility.

For a spot purchase, identify the shipment size and required window. For recurring purchases, add monthly volume, shipment frequency and duration.

Avoid requesting only a “best price.” A quotation without defined specifications, timing and delivery responsibilities may not be comparable with another offer.

For ongoing arrangements, see Jet A1 Fuel Supply Contracts.

FOB Enquiries for Rotterdam, Fujairah or Singapore

If your requirement is Jet A1 FOB Rotterdam, Jet A1 FOB Fujairah or Jet A1 FOB Singapore, identify the preferred loading port and acceptable alternatives.

Ask the proposed seller to clarify:

• The specific loading facility and delivery point.
• Evidence supporting the offered quantity and schedule.
• Terminal and vessel-acceptance requirements.
• Nomination deadlines and scheduling responsibilities.
• Inspection arrangements and included loading charges.

These are enquiry locations, not confirmation that Global Petroleum Advisors holds inventory or terminal access there. Supply options require individual review.

FOB and CIF: Separate Freight Costs From Risk Transfer

Under FOB Incoterms® 2020, delivery and risk transfer occur when the goods are on board the buyer-nominated vessel at the named shipment port. The buyer generally arranges the main carriage.

Under CIF, the seller arranges freight and insurance to the named destination port, but delivery and risk transfer also occur on board at the shipment port. They do not wait until arrival.

Identify the named port and rule clearly, and address payment, title transfer and acceptance separately in the agreement. ICC explains delivery and risk transfer.

Specify Product Quality and Receiving Requirements

Identify the aviation-fuel specification and edition required by the buyer and receiving facility. ASTM D1655 and Defence Standard 91-091 are established references; applicability and additional requirements must be confirmed for the purchase. IATA discusses aviation-fuel specification references.

Ask which quality records will accompany the actual batch or cargo, who issues them and how traceability and acceptance will be established.

Depending on the transaction, documentation may include quality and quantity certificates, inspection records, origin documents, invoices and shipping records.

Quality assurance also concerns storage, handling and distribution—not just a certificate. See IATA Technical Fuel Resources.
