High Speed Diesel For NCC Generators (URG)

The U.S. Department of State, through the American Consulate General in Karachi, is pursuing a sole-source procurement for approximately 50,000 liters of high-speed diesel fuel to support two MV diesel generators at the consulate compound. The estimated value of the requirement is between $72,000 and $80,000 USD. This procurement is designated as a sole-source award to Puma Energy Pakistan (Private) Limited, justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to urgent security needs, local fuel shortages, and the critical necessity of maintaining uninterrupted power and mission readiness amidst severe geopolitical risks and regional utility instability. The primary objective is to ensure a continuous supply of clean, contamination-free fuel to prevent power drops and protect generator longevity. Performance will take place in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, with delivery to the consulate's facility. The award is based on the vendor's proven reliability and the urgency of the requirement rather than a competitive bidding process or lowest-price analysis. Pricing has been validated as fair and reasonable based on historical procurement data and prevailing local market rates.
