Purchase Order SPE60523P1429

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy awarded a $1.19 million firm fixed-price purchase order to United Capital Investments Group (Ucig), a minority-owned fuel supplier headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for the procurement of aviation turbine fuel. The award, issued on August 17, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of August 21, 2023, was made without set-aside designation on an unrestricted, full and open competitive basis. Performance will take place in the United Arab Emirates, with Ucig serving as the sole prime contractor. This purchase order represents a delivery order under DLA Energy's broader fuel logistics mission, which manages petroleum-based fuel procurement and distribution for U.S. Department of Defense operations across multiple geographic regions.

Ucig has established itself as a critical logistics partner for military aviation fuel requirements in the Middle East, supported by multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Energy. The company holds an existing $4.6 million indefinite delivery contract awarded in April 2022 for fuel supply to U.S. military locations in the United Arab Emirates, as well as a substantially larger $51.7 million contract awarded in March 2024 for aviation turbine fuel delivery to Eastern European locations. These parent contracts provide the framework under which individual delivery orders, such as this $1.19 million purchase order, are issued, enabling DLA Energy to maintain consistent fuel supply chains while leveraging Ucig's demonstrated expertise in delivering petroleum products meeting Department of Defense specifications and quality standards.
