DLA NE Natural Gas IDIQ 2017-2019

The Defense Logistics Agency Energy awarded this Master IDIQ on April 1, 2017, for direct supply of pipeline-quality natural gas; ordering closed on September 30, 2019, and the vehicle is no longer active for new task orders.

The vehicle executed 47 delivery orders with a combined potential value of $9.1 million and $8.5 million obligated (94% of potential value). Task orders split between two patterns: standing monthly or seasonal supply orders for Army installations, principally Letterkenny Army Depot, and one-time utility payment invoices for miscellaneous federal facilities. The single largest order—SPE60017D7504-BV01 to NRG Business Marketing LLC for natural gas supply to Watervliet Arsenal, New York—carried a ceiling of $2.057 million. Typical supply orders ranged from $13 thousand to $770 thousand in ceiling value, while utility-invoice orders ran small, often under $50 thousand. Order duration ranged from one month to annual supply periods.

NRG Business Marketing LLC dominated the vehicle, capturing 40 of 47 orders and $6.8 million in combined potential value (approximately 75%). WGL Energy Services, Inc. held 2 orders worth $1.6 million; Talen Energy Marketing, LLC held 5 orders worth $731 thousand. Ordering momentum declined sharply: 24 orders in 2017, 18 in 2018, and only 5 in 2019 before the vehicle closed.

The Army placed the majority of orders, with the Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command awarding 22 orders ($1.3 million potential) and Army Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal awarding 13 orders ($1.3 million potential). The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons facilities at McKean and Lewisburg accounted for 8 orders ($2.189 million potential); the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard placed 2 orders ($1.6 million potential). All 47 orders were unrestricted, competitive awards with firm fixed pricing. Geographic concentration centered on Army installations in Pennsylvania (Letterkenny, Watervliet, and Redstone Arsenal area) and Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities in the Northeast, with one Coast Guard order for Baltimore, Maryland.
