Purchase Order SPE60523P1339

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $1.26M firm fixed-price purchase order for aviation turbine fuel to United Capital Investments Group (doing business as Ucig), a minority-owned fuel supplier headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The contract, awarded on April 22, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of April 24, 2023, was issued without set-aside designation on a full and open competitive basis. The place of performance is the United Arab Emirates, where Ucig maintains its primary operational presence serving as a critical logistics partner for Department of Defense fuel requirements. This purchase order represents one of numerous delivery orders Ucig has received from the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, the federal agency responsible for managing fuel and energy logistics for military installations worldwide.

Ucig serves exclusively as the prime contractor on this award with no identified subcontractor relationships. The company holds multiple indefinite delivery vehicle contracts with DLA Energy, including a $4.6M agreement for UAE operations and a substantially larger $51.7M contract for Eastern European aviation turbine fuel deliveries through 2027. All of Ucig's contracts with the Department of Defense are structured as fixed-price agreements with economic price adjustment provisions, allowing the government budgetary predictability while accommodating commodity fuel price fluctuations. The contractor is required to furnish fuel meeting specified quality standards and maintain detailed Fuel Source Data Sheets tracking country of origin and transportation routes, positioning Ucig as a comprehensive, compliant fuel logistics provider supporting critical defense operations across strategically important regions.
