Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60225D0482

Lazarus Energy Holdings LLC (doing business as Lazarus Energy Services), a SBA Certified HUBZone Firm and minority-owned small business based in Houston, Texas, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $20.8 million by the Defense Logistics Agency Energy on September 26, 2025, with performance extending through September 30, 2026. This contract supports the Rocky Mountain West Offshore program for bulk petroleum product procurement and distribution to Department of Defense facilities. The contract employs a fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing mechanism, enabling the government to maintain cost control while accommodating fuel market volatility. As a critical supplier in the federal fuel procurement ecosystem, Lazarus Energy Services will deliver turbine fuels (including JP5, Jet A, and JA1) and naval distillate (F76) to support Defense Logistics Agency Energy operations and multiple Department of Defense locations across the designated geographic region.

The underlying solicitation, originally posted as a pre-solicitation notice on November 12, 2024, was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with estimated annual fuel requirements ranging from 89 million to 626 million gallons, with approximately 31 percent of the contract quantity reserved for small business concerns. This Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicle reflects the Department of Defense's strategic approach to securing reliable petroleum fuel supplies through established contractor relationships while promoting small business participation in federal procurement. The contract structure allows for delivery orders to be issued throughout the performance period, enabling the government to adjust fuel quantities based on operational requirements while maintaining supply chain continuity for critical defense fuel distribution operations.
