Alon Usa, LP

Alon USA, LP (doing business as Alon USA), a for-profit petroleum refiner and marketer headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, operates as a prime contractor supplying aviation turbine fuel and naval distillate fuel to the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency Energy on a full-and-open competitive basis, with no SBA set-aside designations and no subcontractor footprint.

Alon USA is a subsidiary of Delek US Holdings, Inc., classified under NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) and PSC category for Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor; all 984 recent awards are prime contracts issued directly to Alon USA with no identified subcontracting activity. The vendor competes consistently on full-and-open competitive merit without set-aside designations, reflecting its commercial scale and capability as a standalone petroleum supplier.

The company's federal footprint is concentrated in a single customer relationship: the Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 971 of 984 recent awards (99% coverage), representing $3.94 billion in combined potential value. This extreme customer concentration underscores Alon USA's role as DLA Energy's primary aviation fuel supplier across inland, East, Gulf Coast, and Offshore regions, serving over 250 military installations nationwide. Representative delivery orders span April 2026 through January 2024, with individual task orders valued between $17,000 and $4.9 million for specific fuel deliveries, primarily aviation turbine fuel grades JP8, JP5, and JAA, plus naval distillate fuel (F76).

Alon USA holds and executes orders against multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Energy. The current active IDC (SPE60225D0463, awarded April 1, 2026) carries a $355.1 million ceiling through March 31, 2027 and procures approximately 1.38 billion gallons of bulk petroleum products annually across four fuel grades, with partial small-business set-asides on JAA and JP5 variants but not on JP8 or F76. The predecessor contract (SPE60224D0459, awarded April 8, 2025) carried $87.1 million through March 31, 2026. Earlier IDCs included SPE60223D0458 ($105.7 million through March 2025) and SPE60222D0474 ($129.7 million), demonstrating sustained contract renewal and DLA Energy's continued reliance on Alon USA across successive procurement cycles. All contracts employ fixed-price structures with economic price adjustment tied to published petroleum market indices (Platts Jet Kero, ULSD, Argus) to account for fuel volatility.

Activity has remained stable: 114 awards in 2022, 108 in 2023, 100 in 2024, 81 in 2025, and 22 through mid-2026 (reflecting the early-year snapshot date). The company has received awards continuously since March 2001, indicating over two decades of sustained federal fuel supply relationships. Combined potential value across all awards totals $4.31 billion, with $2.09 billion obligated to date (49% execution rate), reflecting the ongoing nature of standing IDCs that generate task orders as military demand materializes. Place of performance for all work is Alon USA's distribution center in Brentwood, Tennessee, where the company arranges tanker truck, barge, railcar, and pipeline transport to military installations across multiple geographic regions. The contract uses varied delivery terms (FOB Origin or FOB Destination) depending on location, and the government purchases 75 to 100 percent of estimated quantities under each IDC.
