About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Energy has awarded a six-month bridge action modification on contract SPE603-22-D-5003 to ITS Testing Services UK Ltd. for laboratory testing of government-owned petroleum products in the Middle East Region on a sole-source basis.
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 (one responsible source), identifying ITS as the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements due to the highly specialized nature of the services. The modification extends laboratory fuel testing services and transportation of samples from collection locations to the contractor's laboratory from October 1, 2026, through March 30, 2027. The contracting officer determined proposed pricing is fair and reasonable based on historical prices and current market benchmarks compared against the prior two-year option price and six-month extension price. The original contract was awarded competitively on March 31, 2022, as a two-year base period plus two-year option period and six-month extension provision. Market research was originally conducted via a Sources Sought Notice posted June 5, 2025; a new market research effort is underway to reassess the market following revised requirements to expand coverage to Saudi Arabia and Turkey. The modification is funded with FY 2026 working-capital funds and serves as a bridge action to prevent service interruption while preparing for a follow-on competitive solicitation. Place of performance is the Middle East Region. NAICS 541380; PSC H191.
