This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the US Embassy Bujumbura. The document details a sole-source procurement of 100,000 liters of diesel fuel oil from Interpetrol Burundi SA, valued at $165,000, to be purchased at the same price rate as the previous contract. The current contract had expired on March 24, 2023, and a new contract is in process. Interpetrol Burundi SA is identified as a major buyer and supplier of diesel fuel with mass storage capabilities critical to the country's fuel needs.

The justification cites FAR 6.302-1 as the statutory authority, indicating only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. The vendor was selected based on their reliable and accountable previous performance, ability to provide necessary fuel quantities, and capacity to support the embassy even during fuel shortages. No market survey was conducted since the fuel will be purchased at the previous contract's price. The document is dated November 8, 2023, and includes certifications from an Electrical Engineer and Contracting Officer, indicating the procurement is part of the Department of State's overseas contracting activities.
