About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy awarded a sole-source contract (JA 26-0024) to United Capital Investment Group (UCIG) on March 11, 2026, for the transportation of approximately 8,000,000 gallons of DLA Energy-owned JPS jet fuel from Horizon Terminal in Djibouti to Camp Lemonnier in support of Operation Epic Fury. The justification for this sole-source award under unusual and compelling urgency centers on UCIG's exclusive authorization by Djibouti's Ministry of Energy to supply petroleum products within the country, making competition infeasible as DLA Energy-owned fuel in Djibouti's tax-free zone can only be imported through UCIG. The contract is structured with an 18-month base ordering period from March 11, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with a 6-month extension option extending to March 31, 2028, and includes an estimated one-year quantity of 8,000,000 gallons with an additional six-month estimate of 3,000,000 gallons. While the specific contract value is redacted in the filing, the contracting officer determined UCIG's proposed price to be fair and reasonable after analysis that accounted for extraordinary operational tempo, mandatory local fees, and current geopolitical conditions affecting pricing. The J&A was published after award on April 8, 2026, in accordance with FAR 6.103-2(d) due to the unusual and compelling nature of the geopolitical crisis affecting regional fuel supply.
