Dolphin Aviation Inc.

Dolphin Aviation Inc. is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, that has been registered in the System for Award Management since October 2001. The company specializes exclusively in supplying aviation turbine fuel, particularly Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) meeting Joint Aviation Authorities specifications, to support military and government aviation operations across the United States. As a specialized fuel supplier focused on the federal market, Dolphin Aviation has established itself as a consistent and reliable vendor for defense logistics and government aviation fuel requirements, with demonstrated expertise in fuel procurement and delivery operations.

Dolphin Aviation Inc. has received numerous federal contract awards exclusively through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, all in the form of delivery orders for aviation turbine fuel meeting JAA specifications. The company's contract activity demonstrates a consistent pattern of small to moderate-sized delivery orders, with individual awards ranging from as low as $66 to over $10,600 in ceiling value, reflecting variable fuel supply requirements across different time periods and locations. All delivery orders have been structured as fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment provisions, and none have utilized small business set-aside designations, indicating that Dolphin Aviation competes on an open market basis against other qualified fuel suppliers. The contract awards span from early 2025 through September 2025, with performance locations consistently identified as Sarasota, Florida, demonstrating the company's established capability and geographic focus for fuel delivery operations in support of federal aviation requirements.

Dolphin Aviation Inc. holds a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, valued at $1,038,828.50, running from October 1, 2021, through March 31, 2025. This IDIQ contract falls under DLA Energy's 2.3 East Domestic program, which enables the agency to issue task orders for Jet Propellant-8 aviation turbine fuel delivery across multiple states and territories including Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and several additional territories to support military and government aviation operations throughout the East Coast region. The contract is structured with fixed-price and economic price adjustment pricing mechanisms, and all delivery orders issued under this vehicle have maintained the same open competition structure without small business set-asides. Through this primary IDIQ vehicle, DLA Energy has consistently awarded Dolphin Aviation multiple delivery orders monthly to meet fluctuating regional fuel supply demands, establishing the company as a critical component of the Defense Logistics Agency's aviation fuel supply chain for East Coast military and government operations.
