Monument Chemical Secures JP-10 Fuel Contract for U.S. Defense Logistics Agency

June 6th, 2025


Monument Chemical is proud to announce a major milestone: our Renewables and Fuels business has been awarded a multi-year contract by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), part of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), to supply JP-10 and PF-1: two of the most advanced, high-energy propellants in the world.

This award reaffirms Monument’s growing role in supporting critical national defense missions with fuels that meet the most demanding performance and reliability standards.

What is JP-10?

JP-10 is a specialized synthetic hydrocarbon fuel designed for high-energy content and low-temperature performance. It is a fuel of choice for high-speed missile systems, supersonic test aircraft, and next-generation aerospace programs. (PF-1 is the igniter fluid used in conjunction with JP-10.)

Only a select group of producers worldwide are capable of meeting the stringent specifications required by defense applications – and Monument is now proudly among them.

Why Monument?

Because we deliver more than fuel – we deliver confidence. Monument’s reputation for consistent quality, responsiveness, and technical expertise stood out in a competitive procurement process.

“Winning this contract is a testament to the capabilities we’ve built across the Renewables and Fuels business,” said Jonny Eskander, Commercial Director, Monument Renewables and Fuels. “From R&D and manufacturing to logistics and customer support, our teams demonstrated what it means to be a reliable, strategic partner to the federal government.”

Over the next five years, Monument will supply JP-10 and PF-1 to the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies, helping ensure their readiness in mission-critical operations around the globe.

Proven Capabilities. Sustained Commitment.

This win underscores not only our current performance, but also Monument’s consistent focus on building the capabilities, infrastructure, and expertise required to support this critical platform.

“With this contract, we’re building on years of dedication to this mission,” said Ed Hennessy, National Accounts Manager, Monument Renewables and Fuels. “We’ve invested in the right talent, technology, and operational readiness to ensure we can meet the highest demands of the U.S. Department of Defense – today and into the future.”

“It’s also a powerful validation of our technical strength,” added Indresh Mathur, Director, Innovation and Customer Solutions, Monument Renewables and Fuels. “Our teams thrive on solving complex challenges, and this award shows that we can not only innovate at the bench, but also scale those innovations reliably to support the critical needs of our customers.”

A Win and Mission That Matter

Every unit of JP-10 or PF-1 we produce carries a deeper purpose: to help power and protect the systems that safeguard our country. At Monument, we’re honored to contribute our expertise to something much bigger than ourselves.

“This contract reflects the strength of our people, our processes, and our passion for solving complex challenges,” said Sarves Peri, Vice President and Business Leader, Monument Renewables and Fuels. “We’re proud to support the U.S. Department of Defense with products that meet the highest standards – and a team that exceeds them.”
