Craig Field Airport And Industrial Authority

Craig Field Airport and Industrial Authority, a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Selma, Alabama, supplies aviation turbine fuel (JAA) to the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy as a prime contractor. The organization holds Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification and competes under full-and-open procurement without set-aside designations. Its federal footprint consists almost entirely of fuel delivery task orders — 603 of 711 total awards over the past five years — issued against two single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Energy: one with a $921,776.60 ceiling running through March 31, 2027, and a second IDC covering approximately 192.7 million gallons of aviation turbine fuel across nine states (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas) for delivery to commercial airports and military installations. Recent delivery orders average sub-$2,000 ceiling values with fixed-price pricing and economic price adjustment mechanisms; representative awards include a $2,695.45 order on August 8, 2025, a $1,607.99 order on January 23, 2025, and a $1,072 order on April 15, 2026. All fuel-supply awards are issued by DLA Energy without set-aside designation.

Beyond fuel supply, Craig Field Airport and Industrial Authority operates a secondary federal footprint in airport infrastructure and real estate. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Office of Leasing placed 16 awards (combined potential value $112.6 million) under a Basic Ordering Agreement (GS04B45064), which accounts for the bulk of the organization's potential-value concentration; these awards span lease and rental of office buildings and represent a distinct revenue stream from the fuel business. The Federal Aviation Administration awarded the organization three Project Grants under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) totaling approximately $2.6 million: a $1.79 million taxiway reconstruction grant awarded September 18, 2025 (completion September 17, 2029), a $336,943.16 apron resurfacing grant awarded August 5, 2025 (completion August 4, 2029), and a $2.3 million phase-one taxiway reconstruction grant awarded September 6, 2024 (completion September 5, 2028). The EPA awarded a $556,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Brownfields Multipurpose Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup program (CFDA 66.818) on October 1, 2024 for brownfield remediation and site assessment at the Selma, Alabama facility.

Award activity grew sharply from 74 awards in 2022 to 205 in 2024, driven by high-frequency DLA Energy fuel task orders issued weekly or multiple times per week. Activity moderated to 153 awards in 2025 and 40 through mid-April 2026. The organization has received 603 fuel-delivery task orders from a single customer (DLA Energy), making it effectively a single-customer vendor on the fuel side; concentration by potential value tells a different story, with GSA's real-estate lease awards anchoring $112.6 million of the $243.4 million combined potential value across all 711 awards. Combined dollars obligated stand at $18.1 million, representing 7 percent of combined potential value — a low-draw rate typical of awards with small ceiling values issued frequently. The two DLA Energy IDCs' ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027 represents a significant recompete cliff for the fuel-supply business, currently Craig Field Airport and Industrial Authority's volume anchor.
