Gasoline, automotive

Clipper Oil, Inc., a San Diego-based small business petroleum supplier, was awarded a delivery order valued at $30,604 for automotive gasoline under a Total Small Business set-aside designation. The award, issued on May 15, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 21, 2025, utilizes fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment mechanisms to account for fuel market volatility. Performance will be completed in San Diego, California. This delivery order is supported by Clipper Oil's two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, representing approximately $29.6 million in total contract ceiling value through 2029. The primary IDV, valued at $24.5 million through April 2029, covers comprehensive petroleum products including diesel fuel, marine gas oil, and bunker fuel for Department of Defense locations across Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. The secondary IDV, a $3.6 million Post Camps and Stations Purchase Program contract through October 2029, specifically addresses automotive gasoline and related fuel products for DoD installations in the same geographic regions.

Clipper Oil has established itself as a critical logistics provider to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies, with a strong track record of delivering diverse petroleum products to support military operations and emergency response initiatives throughout the Pacific region and western United States. Beyond its DLA Energy contracts, the company maintains a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency valued at $15,568 through September 2027 for diesel fuel services. Since mid-2025, Clipper Oil's contract vehicles have generated over one hundred delivery orders ranging from approximately $1,600 to $620,000, demonstrating consistent utilization and its established role as a trusted petroleum supplier supporting routine defense logistics, maritime fuel requirements, and emergency response capabilities.
