How to respond to DLA Energy’s Bulk Diesel Fuel RFI for LSA Jenkins

What DLA Energy is researching

DLA Energy is seeking information from commercial vendors able to source, transport, and offload diesel fuel at Logistics Support Area Jenkins in Saudi Arabia. The planning estimate is 480,000 gallons per year, with two 20,000-gallon deliveries per month from December 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027.

The notice is an RFI for market research and acquisition planning, not a contract solicitation. The Government is using responses to assess the market and plan a possible future competition; it does not promise a contract or reimburse response costs.

Deadline and delivery planning

The RFI deadline is October 15, 2027, at 9:00 AM ET. Submit your response by that time using the method specified in the notice.

The delivery schedule and quantities are estimates that may change in a future solicitation. The stated operational period begins December 1, 2026, and ends September 30, 2027.

Who this opportunity may suit

This market research is relevant to fuel suppliers and logistics firms that can provide Diesel Fuel #2 or an authorized alternative, transport it to LSA Jenkins, and offload it into the Government’s fuel bladders.

The notice describes self-sufficient tank trucks with pumps, calibrated meters, delivery tickets, suitable hoses, and compatible connections. It also calls for compliance with Saudi laws and permits, installation access procedures, and documented traceability showing fuel is not Russian-origin.

How to access the opportunity

Use “View original source” on the opportunity page. If the first click takes you to the portal homepage, click it again to reach the bid. A free account may be needed to view documents, though some bids are accessible without one.

Prepare a clear market-research response

Describe your ability to source the listed fuel types, meet the estimated delivery cadence, transport the product, and offload directly into the site’s storage bladders. Be specific about your equipment and delivery process, and state which capabilities your firm provides directly.

Explain how you would document fuel origin and chain of custody, and summarize relevant Saudi registrations, transport permits, hazardous-materials licenses, environmental authorizations, and tax or duty exemption coordination capability.

Because this is an RFI, focus on useful, accurate information about your capabilities rather than treating it as a price proposal. The notice says that a future solicitation would require active SAM registration and a UEI, a valid CAGE or NCAGE code, and JCCS; check the actual notice for any response instructions.
