Dime Oil Co

Dime Oil Co, a sole proprietorship based in Waterbury, Connecticut, supplies petroleum products—diesel fuel, burner fuel oil, gasoline, jet fuel, and biofuels—to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy. The company is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned business, competing on full-and-open (non-set-aside) delivery orders, though the underlying DLA Energy solicitation included set-aside line items that Dime Oil Co was not designated to occupy.

Dime Oil Co's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, which accounts for 1,871 of the company's 1,929 awards and $87.5 million of its $90.4 million combined potential value across all federal sources. The Connecticut Army National Guard represents the second-largest customer by award count with 27 awards valued at $365 thousand combined, followed by minor work with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Center ($2.2 million across 2 awards), the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration ($214 thousand, 1 award), and NASA Langley Research Center ($125 thousand across 3 awards). The remaining eight awards are distributed across the Department of the Army, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Defense Logistics Agency.

Dime Oil Co's prime contracting activity centers on a single-award indefinite delivery contract (SPE60518D4007) awarded April 14, 2022, with a $2.632 million ceiling and performance through April 30, 2026. Since award, DLA Energy has issued over one hundred delivery orders under this vehicle, with individual order values ranging from $34 to $159,052.14 and covering diesel, gasoline, burner fuel oil, jet fuel, and biofuels for military bases, civilian installations, and fuel terminals across nine Northeastern states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont). All delivery orders are fixed-price arrangements featuring economic price adjustment provisions. The company also holds positions on four additional DLA Energy IDCs—SPE60017D8527 (457 task orders, $3.8 million), SP060013D4013 (179 task orders, $10.9 million), SPE60518D4043 (84 task orders, $668 thousand), and SP060014D8513 (76 task orders, $1 million)—reflecting its role as an established regional fuel supplier.

Activity peaked in 2022 with 136 awards, then declined sharply to 14 awards in 2023 and averaged roughly 10–16 awards annually in 2024–2026. The vendor carries no identified subcontracting footprint and operates exclusively as a prime contractor. All work is classified under Petroleum Refineries (NAICS 324110, 1,858 awards) or Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 424720, 53 awards), with PSC coding concentrated on Fuel Oils (PSC 4140, 1,415 awards) and Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base (PSC 4150, 499 awards). Place of performance for all recent awards is Waterbury, Connecticut, and the company has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002. Combined dollars obligated total $48.1 million (53% of the $90.4 million combined potential value), indicating invoiced revenue concentration in a subset of the larger award universe.
