SPE60220D0504P00010 12-Months Extension

The Department of Defense, specifically the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, has issued a Special Notice for a 12-month contract extension with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) for the distribution of Turbine Fuel, Aviation JP-8. The contract, numbered SPE602-20-D-0504, is for approximately 1,500,000 USG of aviation fuel that conforms to MIL SPEC MIL-DTL-83133J. Under UAE and Abu Dhabi laws, ADNOC is the sole authorized entity to produce, refine, store, and market refined petroleum products in Abu Dhabi. The contract extension will be executed under unusual and compelling urgency provisions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-2, with ADNOC identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency's requirements. The contract's period of performance will expire on April 30, 2026, with an additional 30-day carry-over period.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to ensure continuous fuel supply for military operations by extending the existing contract with ADNOC. The total estimated contract value for this bridge modification is approximately $2,492,100, maintaining the same contract prices without changing the specifications or scope of supplies. DLA Energy has attempted to establish an Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA) Order with the UAE Ministry of Defense for calendar year 2025 but requires this contract extension as an interim solution. Notably, the government will not accept capability statements from any interested vendors in response to this notice, effectively limiting competition. The petroleum products will be delivered Free on Board (FOB) origin using a combination of tank truck and pipeline. The contract action will be executed on an other than full and open competition basis, justified by the unique circumstances and ADNOC's exclusive rights to provide these fuel services in the region.
