Abilene Aero Inc. is a for-profit subchapter S corporation headquartered in Abilene, Texas, that specializes in the procurement and delivery of aviation turbine fuel to support federal government operations, particularly those of the Department of Defense. The company has been registered in SAM.gov since November 27, 2001, and serves as a prime contractor providing critical fuel logistics support to military installations and government facilities across multiple states.

Abilene Aero Inc. has exclusively provided turbine fuel meeting Jet Aircraft Aviation (JAA) specification standards to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy through numerous delivery orders spanning from May 2025 through July 2025. The delivery orders represent task orders issued under larger Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts, with individual order values ranging from approximately $3 to over $7,900, collectively representing substantial volumes of aviation fuel. All contracts are structured as fixed-price delivery orders with economic price adjustment provisions, which allow the government to manage fuel cost volatility while maintaining budget certainty. The delivery orders carry no set-aside designations, indicating they were awarded through open market competitive bidding. Performance locations are primarily concentrated in Abilene, Texas, though the fuel is ultimately delivered across nine states including Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arizona, New Mexico, and Alabama to support Department of Defense military aviation operations. Abilene Aero Inc. operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractor involvement, demonstrating the company's end-to-end responsibility for fuel sourcing, logistics, and delivery to federal customers.

Abilene Aero Inc. holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, awarded on July 1, 2023, with a ceiling value of $7,300,750.37 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027. This contract, issued under solicitation SPE607-23-R-0202, procures approximately 192.7 million gallons of Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) aviation turbine fuel meeting JAA specification standards for delivery across nine states in the southwestern United States region.
