PBS Natural Gas Supply 2016-2020

The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service established the PBS Natural Gas Supply 2016-2020 Master IDIQ on March 20, 2016, with ordering closed as of April 18, 2026. The vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders. Over its 10-year lifecycle, the IDIQ issued 289 task orders with a combined potential value of $322.3 million, of which $240.5 million (75 percent) has been obligated. Ordering activity averaged roughly 8 orders per year over 2022–2025, declining to just 1 order in 2026 before the vehicle closed.

Natural gas supply and delivery dominate the scope. Task orders cover both utility services—firm, interruptible, and consolidated billing arrangements—and industrial supply (generation and transmission of natural gas). Recent awards span utility payments to federal buildings and campus complexes, gas service to federal correctional institutions, Veterans Affairs medical centers, and support facilities such as NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the National Institutes of Health research campuses. Pricing is predominantly firm fixed price, with a subset carrying economic price adjustment clauses. Most tasks run 12 months to multi-year terms.

Washington Gas Light Company captured dominant market share, holding 86 of 289 total orders and $204.6 million in combined potential value—roughly 63 percent of the vehicle's total. NRG Business Marketing LLC is a distant second with 53 orders and $58.5 million. Together, the top two primes account for 138 orders and $263.1 million in potential value, representing 48 percent of total orders and 82 percent of combined potential value. The remaining 151 orders distribute across WGL Energy Services Inc., Sage Energy Trading LLC, Constellation Newenergy - Gas Division LLC, The Gas Company LLC, and a long tail of 10 smaller suppliers, collectively holding just 18 percent of combined potential value.

Customer concentration is less pronounced than prime concentration. The top five ordering offices—Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration facilities, GSA Public Buildings Service National Capital Region, and Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons—account for 78 orders (27 percent of task orders). GSA National Capital Region leads in dollar value at $44.3 million combined potential across 15 orders, reflecting large consolidated billing and facility-support contracts. No single customer agency dominates; 62 distinct agencies ordered across the vehicle, with Department of Veterans Affairs and GSA facilities representing the largest blocs.

All 289 task orders carry no set-aside designation. The vehicle operated entirely in open competition without small-business restrictions. Representative recent orders range from $7,500 to $2.9 million in ceiling value, with multi-year durations extending to 2030. The largest individual order awarded to Washington Gas (GS00P16BSD1206-75N99022F00013) carried $57.1 million in ceiling value for consolidated meter and billing consolidation. Most places of performance cluster in the National Capital Region and Mid-Atlantic states, with secondary concentration at federal facilities in Hawaii and the Mountain West.
