Justification & Eligibility
This action is being conducted under other than full and open competition, citing FAR 6.103-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency. Phillips 66 Company (P66) has been identified as the sole refiner capable of providing F76 via pipeline for direct delivery to DFSP Craney Island within the compressed timeline. Due to limited delivery options and short suspense dates, no further market research was conducted, and a synopsis was not posted (IAW FAR 5.101(b)(2)). This document is a justification for a sole-source award and not a solicitation requiring proposal submissions. The unit price was determined fair and reasonable based on historical prices and market research.
