BSM-E Fuels Logistics Support Solutions
Varec provides complete fuels logistics systems deployment, maintenance technical support and training, as well as environmental compliance services to the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure real-time, global inventory visibility and accountability of fuels logistics and supply operations.
Systems Deployment
Varec is responsible for all FuelsManager Defense and Fuel Control Center (FCC) application deployment, reconciliation and field training activities in support of the Business Systems Modernization-Energy (BSM-E) Base Level fielding effort. Varec provides on-site installation, repair and training for BSM-E hardware and software deployed to all BSM-E locations worldwide. This includes managing equipment inventory to support deployment activities, maintaining and configuring hardware, obtaining hardware warranties and extensions, supervising field hardware engineers and field trainers installing systems and maintaining documentation on equipment installed, all on behalf of the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC).
Systems Maintenance
To further support the implementation of the BSM-E program, we also provide independent maintenance and testing for processes and tasks that include Fuels Control Center (FCC) and the accredited Base-Level Support Application (BLSA) FuelsManager Defense software.
Training Services
Varec is responsible for providing blended learning solutions (classroom, mobile, computer based and online courses) to instruct DoD personnel (civilian, contract, military) to use FCC, FuelsManager Defense and other BSM-E applications, as well as general fuels management standards, processes and practices.
This includes training at 3 dedicated classroom facilities with 50 workstations at Varec's headquarters and production center in Norcross, Georgia and 1 classroom with 16 workstations in Alexandria, VA. Our formal training staff consists of 6 instructors who conduct approximately 50 classes annually, training 300 operators and 300 officers. To support our troops we provide on-site mobile training to approximately 500 individuals in Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Korea, Germany and 26 bases throughout the U.S. using Varec's mobile classroom facilities.

Varec maintains approximately 30 employees in our technical support center to support the U.S. DoD fuels logistics systems (FCC, FuelsManager Defense, other BSM-E applications) 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We process over 40,000 support tickets annually from over 600 DoD sites worldwide.
