Cockett Marine Oil US, Inc.

Cockett Marine Oil US, Inc., a foreign-owned partnership or limited liability partnership headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, supplies marine bunker fuel to the Defense Logistics Agency Energy as a prime contractor exclusively through full-and-open procurements, with no federal set-aside work in its award footprint. The vendor competes effectively in open market purchase orders under DLA Energy's SEA Card Online program, which procures distillates and residual fuels on a spot-buy, as-required basis for direct delivery to U.S. Navy vessels, Military Sealift Command ships, and other federal civilian agency vessels at international ports worldwide via barge, truck, or pipeline.

Cockett Marine Oil's customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. DLA Energy accounts for 64 of 65 awards (98.5%) representing $28.4 million in combined potential value; a single Department of the Navy award for $21 thousand represents the only non-DLA work. The vendor has zero subcontract footprint — all 65 awards are prime contracts. DLA Energy's FEPEC (Foreign Excess Property Exchange Contract) Ships' Bunker and FEPEC Ships Bunkers Open Market programs dominate the contract portfolio, with fuels procured under the SEA Card Online vehicle ranging from $16 thousand to $1.955 million per purchase order. Representative named contracts include a $1.955 million firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded September 16, 2024, for commercial marine gas oil and fuel oil grades RME-180, RMG-380, and very low sulfur fuel oil; a $1.258 million award dated May 24, 2022, for bunker fuel delivery at Finlandiya; and a $1.753 million award dated February 3, 2023, for fuel delivery to Navy vessels in Poland.

Activity has been irregular but sustained. Six awards in 2021 increased to a peak of 22 in 2022, declined to 13 in 2023, rebounded to 21 in 2024, and dropped to one award in 2026. All 65 awards are obligated at 100% of combined potential value, indicating work performed and invoiced. The vendor's primary NAICS classification aligns with petroleum product distribution (Fuel Oils PSC code), and all work is performed worldwide at ports where government vessels require bunkering — locations have ranged from West Palm Beach and Cape Canaveral, Florida to Ecuador, Curaçao, Ghana, Poland, Portugal, Croatia, Norway, Finland, Australia, and Italy. Performance locations shift with vessel schedules and fuel requirements rather than establishing fixed operational hubs.
