About this opportunity
The Department of Energy Headquarters, Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence (IN), issued a Sole Source Justification Notice on November 6, 2025, for a contract awarded to Strategic News International (SNI), doing business as Iraqi Oil, on October 23, 2025. SNI will provide specialized Iraq oil market intelligence products and services under a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order spanning five 12-month performance periods, with a total anticipated value of $116,204.03. The deliverables include a monthly Iraq Crude Production & Export Tracker (12-20 pages), monthly Iraq Oil & Financial Dataset (150 key data points), access to the Iraq Oil News website, Subject Matter Expert consultation, and usage statistics. The justification for sole source award rests on SNI's unique qualifications as the only source offering comprehensive, unbiased Iraq oil sector intelligence through a network of over a dozen full-time reporters with direct access to Iraqi decision-makers; market research confirmed that traditional sources and GSA Advantage vendors lack comparable country-specific products to meet the agency's requirements. The contract was synopsized on August 8, 2025, with a closing date of August 23, 2025, during which two capability statements were received but deemed insufficient, and the award falls under the simplified acquisition threshold at FAR 13.106-1(b).
