Bulk Diesel Fuel Support � Logistics Support Area (LSA) Jenkins, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

ough this market research will be utilized by the Government to refine its acquisition strategy and determine the viability of a competitive future solicitation. 2. Purpose and Background DLA Energy is conducting market research to identify qualified, capable, and interested commercial sources able to furnish, transport, and deliver recurring bulk quantities of conforming diesel fuel products in support of U.S. Army and USCENTCOM forces operations at Logistics Support Area (LSA) Jenkins, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Site Operational and Receiving Context: Storage Configuration: LSA Jenkins currently maintains on-site bulk fuel storage consisting of two (2) 50,000 U.S. Gallon (USG) fuel bladders (bags) fully installed and ready to receive product (total capacity: 100,000 USG). Government Receiving Equipment: No additional government-furnished receiving equipment is required or provided; commercial delivery tankers must be fully capable of self-sufficient offloading into bladder storage. Operational Scope: Commercial suppliers must demonstrate the capability to source, transport, and offload conforming fuel directly into the government storage bladders while complying strictly with host nation (KSA) laws, environmental standards, safety mandates, and military installation access protocols. 3. Scope of Requirement, Specifications, and Delivery Schedule The Government is seeking sources capable of furnishing Diesel Fuel #2 (DF-2) and/or authorized DoD alternative products meeting military or recognized commercial/ASTM specifications. Fuel Specifications and Estimated Demand Schedule All quantities and dates are planning estimates and are subject to change in any potential future solicitation.
