About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a fuel supply contract with Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC). The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy is seeking to extend its contract (SPE602-20-D-0489) for procuring petroleum products from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The contract covers approximately three fuel types: Turbine Fuel, Aviation (JA1), Diesel Fuel (DF2), and Unleaded Regular Motor Gasoline (MUR), all to be sourced exclusively from KPC due to Kuwaiti legal restrictions that mandate KPC as the sole authorized fuel supplier in the country.
The justification highlights the urgent and compelling need to secure fuel supplies for the Department of Defense's operations in Kuwait, with no alternative sourcing options available. Kuwaiti Ministerial Decrees specify that KPC is the only entity authorized to produce, refine, store, and market petroleum products in Kuwait. The contract extension is critical to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply for military operations, with DLA Energy having previously attempted but unable to implement alternative procurement procedures prior to the current contract's expiration on June 30, 2025.
