About this award
Merlin Petroleum Co Inc., a small disadvantaged and woman-owned business based in Westport, Connecticut, was awarded a $14,670 firm fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy on May 9, 2025, for the delivery of fuel to U.S. Navy vessels. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of June 12, 2025, will be performed in Mercedita, Ponce, Puerto Rico. This award does not utilize a set-aside designation and represents a spot-buy delivery order under the broader procurement framework for ships' bunkers, which includes Commercial Marine Gas Oil, Fuel Oil, and Military Specification products such as JP5 and F76 required for naval operations.
This purchase order is likely issued under Merlin Petroleum's existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with DLA Energy, originally valued at $1.8 billion and awarded October 1, 2021. Through its fuel broker and distributor operations across the Northeastern United States, Merlin Petroleum has demonstrated consistent capability in supplying diverse petroleum products to military and federal civilian agencies. DLA Energy, responsible for procuring and distributing bulk petroleum products to support Department of Defense missions, relies on multiple fuel suppliers through fixed-price delivery orders to ensure reliable fuel availability at strategic global ports. The compressed timeline from award to completion reflects the expedited nature of spot-buy fuel procurement for operational requirements.
