COG 2

Cog 2 serves as a key procurement specialist within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy Directorate, responsible for managing strategic energy supply contracts critical to global military readiness. Their role centers on securing reliable petroleum-based fuels, natural gas, and related logistics infrastructure to sustain operational continuity across all U.S. military branches. Cog 2 handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often involving long-term fuel supply agreements, transportation logistics, and energy infrastructure support contracts. Their work directly supports DLA Energy’s mission to maintain resilient, secure, and responsive energy supply chains in contested and austere environments. Cog 2 maintains primary contracting relationships with Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which provide critical fuel procurement and distribution services. These partnerships reflect a focus on international energy suppliers with established global logistics capabilities, alongside domestic entities capable of supporting expeditionary and theater-based operations. The contracting pattern emphasizes performance-based, long-duration agreements with stringent quality and delivery standards, indicating a preference for vendors with proven track records in high-stakes, mission-critical energy delivery. Cog 2’s procurement portfolio is evenly split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced yet deliberate commitment to small business participation. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a structured effort to expand vendor diversity and enhance competition within the energy supply sector, particularly among firms capable of supporting fuel logistics and distribution services. The primary NAICS focus areas are 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) and 522210 (Credit Card Issuing), the latter reflecting the use of fuel card and payment systems for distributed refueling operations. This dual focus underscores expertise in both physical energy supply and the financial infrastructure enabling just-in-time fuel distribution to mobile and remote military units, highlighting a sophisticated understanding of integrated energy logistics systems.
