C&R Distributing, LLC

C&R Distributing, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in El Paso, Texas, supplies diesel fuel and related petroleum products to federal facilities as a prime contractor, operating exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of small-dollar purchase orders for backup generator fuel and facility refueling services, concentrated in the Drug Enforcement Administration's Ysleta Sur, Texas facility.

C&R Distributing's award portfolio reflects a narrow, specialized capability: on-call diesel fuel delivery for emergency power systems. The vendor has secured recurring annual purchase orders from the DEA since at least 2022, with awards continuing through October 2026. Recent awards include a $2,471.79 purchase order from DEA (October 1, 2026, performance through September 30, 2027) for diesel fuel supplying backup generators at Ysleta Sur; a $2,999.93 purchase order (October 1, 2025, completed September 30, 2026) for the same service; and a $1,503.08 purchase order (October 1, 2024, completed September 30, 2025). The three awards shown in the source data span fiscal years 2023 through 2026, each structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders subject to availability of funds.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Drug Enforcement Administration accounts for 18 of 28 awards (64% of the prime portfolio) and $30 thousand combined potential value. The Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer holds 2 awards valued at $75 thousand, anchoring the second position by dollars. Combined, these two customers represent 82% of all awards and 85% of combined potential value. The broader portfolio spans five distinct customer agencies, but work outside DEA and DHS is minimal. Total potential value across all 28 awards is $136 thousand, with $132 thousand obligated (97% execution rate). Activity has flatlined at one award per year from 2022 through 2026, with only one award facing completion inside the next twenty-four months ($2 thousand potential value). C&R Distributing operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract footprint across the visible federal award history.
