Chevron USA Inc.

Chevron USA Inc., through its Chevron Global Aviation Division, supplies aviation turbine fuel and naval distillate to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, competing in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement. The company is a large for-profit manufacturer and subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, headquartered in San Ramon, California, and registered in SAM.gov since 2002.

Chevron's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in aviation fuel logistics. The vendor operates as the sole prime on delivery orders issued under three active and recently completed indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Energy covering the Rocky Mountain/West Coast/Offshore Program: a $420 million vehicle awarded September 26, 2025 (through September 30, 2026), a $365 million IDC awarded September 26, 2024 (through September 30, 2025), and a $208 million IDC awarded September 8, 2023 (through September 30, 2024). Prior vehicles included a $148.5 million contract awarded August 4, 2022. Under these vehicles, DLA Energy has issued hundreds of delivery orders—typically valued between $1 million and $13.2 million and completed within weeks to months of award—for procurement and delivery of aviation turbine fuel in grades including JP5, Jet A, and JA1, along with naval distillate fuel (F76), all meeting military specifications. Representative recent delivery orders include a $19.9 million order (April 13, 2026), a $13.2 million order (March 4, 2026), and an $11.7 million order (January 7, 2026). All orders specify fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment and performance at Chevron's San Ramon facility. Place of performance for all work is San Ramon, California; fuel is distributed to military installations and government facilities across the western United States and offshore locations via tanker trucks, barges, pipelines, and other logistics infrastructure.

Customer concentration is extreme. Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 809 awards (approximately 59% of total source awards) with $7.21 billion in combined potential value, representing 97% of the vendor's federal portfolio by dollar value. A second DLA entity—Defense Logistics Agency without the Energy qualifier—placed 386 awards valued at $23.4 million combined. The remaining eight federal customers (Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Navy, Department of the Army Corps of Engineers) together account for fewer than 20 awards and minimal dollar volume. The vendor has delivered approximately 916 million gallons of aviation and naval fuels cumulatively across delivery orders spanning several years.

Activity trajectory shows modest growth. Awards per year over the past five calendar years: 68 (2022), 53 (2023), 58 (2024), 97 (2025), and 34 (2026 year-to-date). Combined potential value across all 1,371 prime awards in the source data totals $7.43 billion, though obligated dollars reach $8.66 billion, indicating that invoiced activity has exceeded contract ceiling values—a signal of high delivery velocity and consistent utilization across the portfolio.

The recompete cliff is substantial. Chevron's $365 million IDC (awarded September 26, 2024) expires September 30, 2025, and its $420 million IDC (awarded September 26, 2025) expires September 30, 2026. The September 2025 expiration marks a critical recompete opportunity for competitors and a transition risk for Chevron, as DLA Energy will need to award a successor vehicle to continue uninterrupted fuel supply to military operations. Historical pattern suggests DLA Energy re-awards single-award vehicles to the same contractor annually or biennially; Chevron has held the Rocky Mountain/West Coast/Offshore Program continuously since at least 2022.

Chevron operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal fuel contracts; the source shows zero subcontract awards. NAICS classification centers on Petroleum Refineries (803 awards), with secondary activity in petroleum product manufacturing and wholesale distribution. PSC coding is dominated by Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base (1,048 awards), and Fuel Oils (226 awards). The vendor competes on a full-and-open basis with no SBA set-aside designations across its entire federal footprint; all IDCs and delivery orders carry explicit "No Set-Aside Used" language.
