This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the U.S. Embassy Bujumbura. The document requests approval to purchase 100,000 liters of diesel fuel oil from Interpetrol Burundi SA at a cost of $151,000, without conducting a full competitive procurement process. The embassy is in the process of awarding a new contract and seeks to purchase fuel at the same price rate as the previous contract. Interpetrol Burundi SA is identified as a major supplier of diesel fuel with mass storage capabilities, and is considered reliable based on previous supply performance. The current contract expired on March 24, 2023, and a new contract is being processed. The justification notes that the vendor can provide necessary fuel quantities even during potential fuel shortages in the country. The document includes certifications from an Electrical Engineer and a Contracting Officer, dated January 24, 2024, affirming the accuracy and completeness of the justification.
