About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Energy has awarded contract modification SPE602-20-D-0489/P00014 to Kuwait Petroleum Corporation on a sole-source basis for continued petroleum supply on June 30, 2026.
The justification rests on Kuwaiti law designating KPC as the exclusive authorized producer, refiner, storage, and marketer of refined petroleum products in Kuwait under Ministerial Decree Numbers 6 (1980) and 4 (1989), which prohibits importation or export of petroleum products without KPC approval. The contracting officer determined that anticipated costs are fair and reasonable based on comparable regional prices. DLA Energy documented previous attempts since 2021 to develop alternative fuel sourcing procedures but encountered regulatory, logistical, and operational challenges that precluded competition.
The contract extends the existing petroleum supply arrangement for twelve months, from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with a 31-day carryover period. The procurement covers three fuel products: Turbine Fuel Aviation (JA1) conforming to ASTM-D1655 and DEF STAN 91-91 Issue 17; Diesel Fuel (DF2) conforming to KPC's commercial automotive diesel specifications; and Unleaded Regular Motor Gasoline (MUR) conforming to KPC's commercial specifications. Dollar value and specific quantities are redacted. The contracting authority cited is FAR 6.103-2, other than full and open competition. Defense Working Capital Funds finance the acquisition.
