Description

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL OR QUOTATION.

The Defense Logistics Agency – Energy (DLA Energy), Direct Delivery Fuels Division, hereby issues this Notice of Intent (NOI) to inform industry and prospective contractors of the Government's intent to solicit, negotiate, and award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract with Economic Price Adjustment (FFP w/ EPA) for commercial ground fuels in accordance with the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services). The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) NAICS code is 324110 – Petroleum Refineries with a size standard of 1500 employees. The Product of Service Code for this requirement is 9140. This will not be a small business set aside under the Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard for this sector.

The proposed contract action is being conducted under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by RFO FAR 6.103-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."

This is a new requirement for the procurement and direct delivery of bulk of ground fuels for Logistics Support Area (LSA) Jenkins and Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as follows:

CLIN    Fuel Product                      NSN                           Quantity                            Location

0001    Diesel Fuel #2 (DF2)         9140-00-286-5294     1,440,000 US Gallons      LSA Jenkins, SA

0002    Diesel Fuel #2 (DF2)         9140-00-286-5294     3,240,000 US Gallons      PSAB, SA

0003    Gasoline, Mid Unl (MUM) 9130-01-272-0983      2,160,000 US Gallons      PSAB, SA

The anticipated period of performance is from December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2029 with a six (6)-month option.

The Government intends to award this requirement to Saudi Naval Support Company.
