GASOLINE, AUTOMOTIVE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order to Kuwait Petroleum Corporation under contract SPE60220D0489 for the procurement of 47,551 U.S. gallons of automotive gasoline, identified by NSN 9130001487103, at a unit price of $2.5905 per gallon, resulting in a total contract value of $123,181.34. The delivery is scheduled for a single-day performance period on April 15, 2026, with FOB ORIGIN terms, meaning the Government assumes all transportation costs and risk of loss once the product is loaded at the vendor’s facility in Kuwait, specifically at site OASB SJ0629, located 30 miles northwest of Kuwait City. The contract permits a quantity variance of plus or minus 10 percent, resulting in a potential range of 42,796 to 52,306 gallons and a maximum estimated value of $135,499.47. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities lie entirely with the Government at the origin point, with no additional inspection criteria, technical specifications, or quality standards specified in the available documentation. The contracting officer is Christopher Clement, and Nicole Bruels serves as the amendment initiator and implied contracting officer’s representative. Payment is governed by the Government, with an appropriation symbol listed as BX: 97X4930 5CFX 001 2620 S33189, though specific payment office or invoicing method details are not provided. The contractor, identified by CAGE code SA076, is a foreign state-owned entity and no socioeconomic certifications or representations from the offeror are documented. No packaging, marking, labelling, or barcoding requirements are specified, and no MIL-STDs or other standards are cited. The solicitation was issued on March 4, 2026, and awarded on July 15, 2026, under a unilateral modification authority cited under FAR 52.216-21. The procurement, consistent with DLA’s commodity acquisition practices, appears to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, though this is not formally stated in the document.
