OPIS Subscription Service

The contract awards a sole-source, firm-fixed-price subscription service for OPIS proprietary fuel pricing data to Oil Price Information Service, LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business certified under the WOSB Federal Contract Program, under NAICS code 513120. The acquisition, conducted under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for other-than-full-and-open competition, is justified by OPIS’s unique ability to provide integrated, secure, and real-time refined petroleum product pricing feeds—including gasoline, diesel, heating oil, ethanol, biodiesel, and jet fuel data—from over 400 U.S. locations, directly compatible with DLA Energy’s SAP-based Enterprise Business System. The contract has a total value of $417,884.00 for a one-year period running from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with no option periods or additional quantities specified. Performance is primarily located at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with administrative and payment functions managed through the DCSO-COLUMBUS-DIVISION-2 office in Columbus, Ohio. The service is delivered electronically, eliminating all physical packaging, preservation, or marking requirements, and invoices must be submitted exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7006. The contract mandates strict adherence to DLA Energy’s IT security policies and prohibits the resale or redistribution of the proprietary data. Compliance with FAR 52.222-90 regarding DEI discrimination is explicitly incorporated, and the contractor must affirm its continued WOSB eligibility through SAM.gov and maintain documentation for potential SBA audits. Inspections and acceptance are the responsibility of the Government, with acceptance occurring at the designated DoDAAC SP4706, though specific performance metrics, quality standards, or inspection criteria are not detailed in the documentation. While no formal evaluation factors or key personnel requirements are outlined, the procurement relies on the sole-source justification and technical compatibility as the basis for award, with no competitive bids accepted. Point of contact for contract administration and invoicing is Blair Hartley at DLA, and payment is processed by DFAS Columbus. The Statement of Work and supporting attachments, including the signed contract and OPIS quote, define the scope, but no options, extensions, or future cost estimates are included.
