Provide card transactional services to support DLA Energy’s Aviation Into-Plane Reimbursement (AIR) Program worldwide.

In accordance with FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, DLA Energy intends to award a sole source contract to Kropp Holdings, Inc. (KHI) to provide card transactional services to support DLA Energy’s Aviation Into-Plane Reimbursement (AIR) Program worldwide. The resulting contract will be a firm fixed price contract, with a period of performance not to exceed 6 months (consisting of a 2-month base period and (4) 1-month option). The period of performance will commence upon the expiration of the current contract with KHI supporting the AIR Card® Program. The period of performance for the base period of the contract will be January 1, 2025, through February 28, 2025. KHI is the only responsible source capable of transitioning and performing by January 1, 2025. Due to the time it would take to compete and award a short-term contract, DLA Energy estimates no more than two months would be available as a transition period prior to the performance period beginning on January 1, 2025. In order to perform by January 1, 2025, contractors must have a completed Electronic Access System (EAS), which has been tested and fully integrated and complies with DLA Energy’s requirements in the attached Performance Work Statement. Contractors must also ensure they have received and input account data and all accounts are created with account and card data. Additionally, contractors must ensure all merchants have been integrated into the network under merchant agreements approved by DLA Energy. The contractor must also receive all cardholders’ information and ensure cardholders receive cards enabling them to purchase fuel and related services at commercial airports worldwide from the merchant network starting on January 1, 2025 with no disruption. Finally, the contractor must also provide split billing capabilities. Because KHI already has a tested and integrated EAS, an integrated merchant network under approved merchant agreements, and has established accounts, it is the only responsible source capable of processing transactions starting on January 1, 2025 with no more than minimal risk of disruption in service.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. Offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov). A determination by the Government whether to compete this proposed requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties must express their interest and must be submitted in by August 15, 2024.
