How to bid on fuel facility operations and security for the DEPT of Defense in South Korea
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking information from companies that can operate, maintain, secure, and provide fuel services at government fuel facilities across South Korea. This includes services for aviation fuel, diesel, gasoline, fuel quality control, environmental protection, and product accountability.
The work covers six Korea Army sites (Camp Carroll, Camp Walker, Camp Humphreys, Camp Casey, K16, Yongsan) and three Defense Fuel Support Points (DFSP Gunsan, DFSP Yechon, DFSP Pohang). This is an opportunity for firms experienced in fuel management and facility operations to engage with a significant government need.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Sources Sought Notice, not a solicitation for bids. Responses are due by August 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET (Fort Belvoir time). All responses must be submitted via email to [email protected]. No information provided will be paid for by the government.
The DLA will use the information gathered from this notice for market research and to help determine the best acquisition strategy for a future procurement. The government anticipates issuing one solicitation and awarding two firm fixed-price contracts for this work, with a four-year base period starting November 1, 2027, and a five-year option period.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for companies with experience in fuel operations, support operations, and management and administration related to the receipt, storage, handling, and issue of capitalized fuel products. Firms should be capable of providing all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supplies, and supervision.
The procurement is unrestricted under NAICS code 493190 (Other Warehouse and Storage), which has a size standard of $36.5 million. Companies with past performance as a prime or subcontractor on similar fuels management requirements, especially those involving Government-Owned Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facilities, are encouraged to respond. Experience with Service Contract Act of 1965 covered contracts is also relevant.
How to respond
To respond, you need to submit your information via email to [email protected] by the deadline. Responses are limited to a maximum of five pages.
Your response should include a company profile (number of employees, office location(s), DUNS/CAGE Code, current business status), a statement on your capability to provide qualified personnel with clearances, and details of relevant past performance. You should also address any past performance problems and resolutions, and indicate if you anticipate a teaming arrangement. Finally, discuss your financial capability and required phase-in period.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Since this is a Sources Sought Notice, focus on clearly demonstrating your firm's capabilities and experience in the specific areas requested. Highlight your past performance on similar fuels management contracts, especially those involving GOCO facilities, by providing contract numbers, agency names, periods of performance, dollar values, and contract types.
Ensure your response directly addresses all the questions posed in the notice, such as your financial capability, experience with the Service Contract Act, and any anticipated teaming arrangements. Keep your response concise and within the five-page limit, making sure every piece of information supports your ability to perform this type of complex, multi-location fuel service contract.
