Summary: OET – OSP Crosswalk Reference Guide

This document is a reference guide and training material created by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) that illustrates the relationship between the Offer Evaluation Tool (OET) system and the Offer Submission Package (OSP) for federal energy contract opportunities. Published in February 2025, the document serves as a navigation aid for contractors submitting bulk petroleum product offers to DLA Energy solicitations.

The guide maps OET system screens to corresponding OSP sections and data fields, covering origin and destination offer sheets, shipping point information, offer conditions, and detailed submission data requirements. Key submission areas addressed include: refineries/sources of supply, parcel shipping sizes and daily capacity for truck/rail/pipeline modes, facility restrictions and capabilities for tanker operations, port restrictions and operating hours, quality assurance certification requirements, free time and detention rates for transportation, vessel notification procedures, foreign tax treatment, and refinery shutdown schedules. The document demonstrates that contractors must provide comprehensive logistical and operational information across 53 distinct data fields organized into sections covering supply sourcing, shipping capacity parameters, facility restrictions, port operations, quality standards, detention/demurrage rates, and general contract terms. Offer conditions address minimum/maximum quantity constraints, product-specific limitations, and bundling restrictions for awarded contracts.
