The current contracted fuel suppliers to the Defence Forces are Tedcastle Oil Products (TOP) for diesel and Texaco Ireland for petrol. Both of these contracts were awarded by the Government Supplies Agency (GSA).

In addition a small number of fuel cards are used for refuelling military vehicles where military supplies are not readily available. Shell Ireland is the current contracted supplier for this service. Fuel to a cost of about €10,000 per year is supplied under this arrangement.
