Eric Harvey

Eric Harvey serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy directorate, overseeing the acquisition of critical petroleum-based energy resources to sustain global military operations. He manages complex contractual actions under NAICS 324110, focusing exclusively on petroleum refinery services and fuel supply chain infrastructure. His role is central to DLA Energy’s mission of ensuring uninterrupted fuel availability for all U.S. armed forces, requiring deep technical expertise in fuel specifications, logistics coordination, and international supply chain compliance. He handles sole-source and negotiated procurements for large-scale fuel production and delivery contracts, often involving overseas operational theaters and high-security logistics frameworks. Harvey’s primary contractor relationships are concentrated with Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which provide specialized fuel refining, storage, and distribution capabilities aligned with DoD operational requirements. His contracting patterns reflect long-term, mission-critical partnerships with a limited number of high-capacity vendors capable of meeting stringent military fuel standards and global delivery timelines. These relationships are characterized by sustained performance, technical alignment, and regulatory compliance rather than competitive bidding, reflecting the unique nature of strategic energy procurement. Harvey’s procurement portfolio demonstrates a consistent preference for non-set-aside contracts, with 100% of awards issued under open competition. This reflects the specialized, capital-intensive nature of petroleum refining and the limited number of qualified vendors capable of meeting DoD fuel specifications. There is no current use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides, as the technical and operational demands of the NAICS 324110 category require proven, large-scale industrial capacity that is not typically available among small business concerns. His technical expertise is singularly focused on NAICS 324110—Petroleum Refineries—encompassing the procurement of refined jet fuel, diesel, and other military-grade hydrocarbons. He ensures compliance with MIL-DTL-83133 and other DoD fuel standards, managing contracts that integrate refining, blending, testing, and global distribution logistics. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of energy infrastructure, defense logistics, and international supply chain security.
