The Defense Logistics Agency Energy has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a contract with Qatex Limited (a subsidiary of QatarEnergy) to supply approximately 32.55 million gallons of jet fuel to a facility in Qatar during 2024. The sole-source justification is predicated on Qatex's exclusive access to QatarEnergy's proprietary pipeline delivery system, which is the only available infrastructure for fuel delivery in the region. The contract, identified as SPE602-24-D-0455, covers jet fuel (JP-8 and aviation turbine fuel JA1) conforming to specific military specifications, with delivery scheduled from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. Market research confirmed on February 29, 2024, that no alternative vendors can access the required pipeline infrastructure, justifying the restricted competition under FAR 6.302-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency. While the exact total contract value is not explicitly stated, the contract represents a critical support mechanism for Department of Defense operations in Qatar, with pricing determined to be fair and reasonable based on comparable regional fuel prices.
