JA ADNOC Amendment 0005_Redacted_PDF.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for Amendment 0005 to an existing contract with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) for fuel distribution.

The amendment extends the ordering period under J&A Tracking Number 22-0035 (approved October 26, 2022) by an additional 12 months, from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027. The requirement is for Aviation JP-8 (JP-8) fuel conforming to MIL SPEC MIL-DTL-83133J, with an estimated dollar value of $2,492,100. This is a fourth bridge action modification executed under DLAD 2.101, pursued in accordance with DLAD 17.9602(b)(2)(ii). The contracting activity is the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, Bulk Petroleum Products Division. The original contract SPE602-20-D-0504 was awarded to ADNOC on September 8, 2020, and has been previously extended through multiple amendments (P00007, P00008, P00009, and P00010) covering successive 6-month and 12-month periods ending April 30, 2026.

The justification for sole-source procurement cites statutory and regulatory authority establishing ADNOC as the sole lawful vendor with the ability to meet requirements. United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi law permits only ADNOC to sell fuel within those jurisdictions, including to United States forces. DLA Energy attempted to implement alternative acquisition procedures through an Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA) Order with the UAE Ministry of Defense for calendar year 2026; however, fuel requirements necessitate this contract extension through December 2026. The Requirements Data Holder confirmed that requirements remain valid and consistent with operational needs, with projected quantities considered reasonable and accurate. Contract prices remain unchanged, subject to economic price adjustment, and no changes to specifications or scope are intended.
