Nextera Energy Services Gas, LLC

Symmetry Energy Solutions LLC, doing business as Centerpoint Energy Service Retail, supplies natural gas commodities, delivery, and distribution services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 35 customer agencies, competing exclusively in full-and-open, non-set-aside procurements. The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and limited liability company subsidiary of parent CenterPoint Energy, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas. Symmetry operates as a 100-percent prime contractor (419 awards, zero sub-awards) with combined potential value of $530.9 million across recent activity dating to mid-1997, though concentration has intensified in the past five years: 2022–2026 activity spans 127 awards.

Symmetry's customer concentration splits sharply between transaction volume and dollar exposure. By award count, the top five customers represent 43 percent of awards, led by the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region (62 awards, $14.2 million) and Southeast Region (56 awards, $8.5 million), followed by the Bureau of Prisons United States Penitentiary Leavenworth (22 awards, $5.6 million), Department of Veterans Affairs (20 awards), and the Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (19 awards, $1.1 million). By potential value, the portfolio flips dramatically: the Defense Logistics Agency Energy anchors 81 percent of dollars across all top customers with 18 awards worth $320.9 million in combined potential value—primarily through seven active indefinite delivery contracts ranging from $2.7 million to $36.2 million ceiling values. The Department of Energy Office of Science represents the second-largest dollar source at $77.9 million (5 awards), including a $20 million delivery order for natural gas supply to Oak Ridge Reservation (awarded June 1, 2025, performance through May 31, 2027) and a prior $14.2 million award for the same location.

Symmetry's contract work is entirely natural gas commodity procurement: monthly or multi-month delivery orders for natural gas supply to military installations (Fort Knox, Kentucky; Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas), federal correctional facilities (Leavenworth, Beaumont, Florence), VA medical centers (Salt Lake City, Houston, Shreveport, Murfreesboro), Department of Energy research sites, and NASA Johnson Space Center. Representative recent awards include a $700,000 delivery order to Air Education and Training Command for FY26 natural gas commodity (October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026); a $687,999 delivery order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026); a $1.95 million delivery order from the same VISN 16 for natural gas to multiple VA facilities (June 1, 2025–May 31, 2026); and monthly task orders against DLA Energy indefinite delivery contracts typically valued $100,000 to $500,000 for Fort Knox gas supply. Awards carry firm fixed-price or fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment structures and span place-of-performance locations in Texas, Kentucky, Kansas, Tennessee, Colorado, Utah, and other states.

The vendor holds nine active indefinite delivery contracts issued between October 2021 and October 2025, totaling over $180 million in ceiling value. Top vehicles by task-order volume include IDC GS00P97BSD0051 (38 task orders, $4.4 million), IDC SPE60419D7521 (30 task orders, $5.9 million), IDC SPE60017D7520 (28 task orders, $5.8 million), IDC SPE60423D7526 (27 task orders, $6.7 million), and IDC SPE60421D7525 (24 task orders, $5.7 million)—all issued by DLA Energy or GSA for natural gas supply across geographic regions. The most recent IDV awards (October 2025) establish two new single-award vehicles: a $20.4 million contract for direct supply and delivery to DoD and civilian facilities in six western states (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Washington; performance through September 30, 2027) and a $4.3 million contract for eight central U.S. states (through March 30, 2028).

Activity has remained steady at 24–36 awards annually from 2022 onward, with a slight uptick in 2025 (36 awards). Ten awards totaling $23.3 million in potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure centered on DLA Energy and Army Installation Management Command natural gas supply vehicles. The vendor competes exclusively on non-set-aside basis across all award categories; no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other set-aside designations appear in the portfolio. NAICS coding reflects the commodity focus: Natural Gas Distribution (162 awards), Natural Gas Extraction (121 awards), and Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction (72 awards) dominate, with PSC 4610 (Utilities—Gas) covering 240 of 419 awards and PSC 4613 (Gases: Compressed and Liquefied) covering 149 awards. Symmetry operates as a pass-through for CenterPoint Energy, Inc.'s infrastructure; the parent company holds its own federal prime-contractor status with both contract and grant awards.
