DLA Energy FY20 Annual Procurement Forecast of Petroleum Acquisitions

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy is announcing its Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Procurement Forecast for petroleum acquisitions, detailing anticipated quantities across several fuel categories. The forecast estimates a total procurement volume of approximately 99.2 million barrels, which includes 88.6 million barrels of Bulk & PCS fuel, 4.3 million barrels of Intoplane, 1.9 million barrels of Bunkers, and 4.4 million barrels of Non-Contract fuel. These figures are estimates, and offerors are advised to consult individual solicitations for exact quantities and specific requirements. In compliance with FAR 5.203(h) and trade agreement regulations, the notice period between the synopsis publication and receipt of offers typically must be at least 40 days. However, since this acquisition falls within a general category identified in DLA Energy’s publicized annual forecast, the contracting officer has the discretion to reduce this period to as few as 10 days. This adjustment aims to streamline the procurement process while maintaining transparency and fairness. Interested parties can direct inquiries to the designated procurement analyst, Dale G. Stephens, and access additional information and the official forecast solicitation via the provided online workspace.
