Aero Industries, Incorporated

Aero Industries, Incorporated, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Richmond, Virginia, supplies aviation turbine fuel (JP-8) and diesel fuel marine (F-76) to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on delivery orders issued under single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, competing under full-and-open procedures without set-aside designation.

Aero Industries' federal work is narrowly concentrated on petroleum fuel logistics. The vendor holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE607-25-R-0201) awarded by DLA Energy on October 1, 2025, with a $4.68 million ceiling and performance through March 31, 2029, covering JP-8 and F-76 delivery across 19 geographically dispersed military installations and commercial fueling points spanning the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast regions, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Canada under the Into-Plane program. All recent delivery orders employ fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment. Representative orders from the recent award window include a $20.6 million delivery order for aviation turbine fuel issued July 3, 2026, a $60.6 million delivery order for JAA fuel issued February 23, 2026, and a $16.9 million order issued March 1, 2026 — all to the same customer through the same parent contract.

Customer concentration is absolute. Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 4,197 awards (99.6% of the award count) and $26.1 million in combined potential value across the broader award portfolio, which totals $28.5 million. The remaining three agencies — Defense Logistics Agency (9 awards), Department of the Air Force (1 award) — represent minimal exposure. Of the $28.5 million combined potential value, $17.6 million has been obligated (62%).

Aero Industries' recent activity shows significant variability year to year. The vendor received 403 awards in 2022, 583 in 2023, 499 in 2024, 379 in 2025, and 234 through mid-July 2026. The source carries over 4,200 awards dating to 1982, reflecting decades of fuel delivery work; the recent spike reflects the frequency of small-dollar delivery orders under the Into-Plane program rather than growth in contract vehicle count or scope.

Aero Industries' capability portfolio is narrowly defined by its NAICS and PSC coding. Nearly all awards fall under NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) and PSC 9130 (Liquid Propellants and Fuels with a Petroleum Base). The vendor's place of performance is consistently Richmond International Airport, Virginia, where the company maintains supply and logistics infrastructure for the into-plane program. The company supplies fuel exclusively to DLA Energy across a fixed 19-location service territory and does not subcontract.
