Ferrellgas, L.P

Ferrellgas, L.P., a for-profit propane and liquefied petroleum gas distributor headquartered in Liberty, Missouri, operates as a prime contractor delivering bulk propane and LPG to federal agencies across 62 customer organizations. The vendor competes full-and-open on all work — no set-aside designations appear in its award footprint. Nearly all recent activity (593 of 594 awards, or 100%) is prime contract work; sub-award exposure is minimal (one sub task for propane refueling services under HII Mission Technologies).

Ferrellgas supplies propane on a commodity basis to military installations, federal correctional facilities, federal wildlife refuges, and civilian agencies. Representative recent awards include a $2.989 million indefinite delivery contract awarded April 1, 2026, by the Army Materiel Command for 725,000 gallons of annual propane delivery to Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, running through March 31, 2031; a $275.4 thousand delivery order under an identical vehicle from Army Contracting Command Letterkenny for 180,000 gallons of LPG through October 9, 2026; an $88.4 thousand USDA Agricultural Research Service purchase order for propane delivery to the National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa (65,000 gallons annually through November 30, 2026); and a $159 thousand Department of the Navy purchase order for propane delivery across seven San Diego-area installations including San Clemente Island and Naval Base Coronado. Work is performed at customer locations nationwide, with administrative headquarters at Liberty, Missouri.

Customer concentration is fragmented across Army installation-management commands. The top five customer entities by count account for 52% of awards: the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region leads at 140 awards ($2.8 million), followed by the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region (70 awards, $4.7 million), the broader Department of the Army (41 awards), the Indian Health Service (28 awards, $1.2 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (27 awards, $252 thousand). By potential value, the ranking reorders around the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal ($6.3 million across 15 awards), which dominates dollars despite lower award count; this divergence reflects large delivery orders against indefinite delivery vehicles. The Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region ranks second ($4.7 million across 70 awards). Ferrellgas sits on two primary GSA Federal Supply Schedules — GS07F5930P (99 task orders, $4.4 million) and GS10F8724G (41 task orders, $32 thousand) — and holds multiple Army single-award indefinite delivery contracts, including W9124M20D0010 (36 task orders, $186 thousand), W9124M13D0003 (31 task orders, $241 thousand), and DAKF4097D0005 (30 task orders). Recent named IDVs include the Fort McCoy five-year propane vehicle and a $2.295 million Army Contracting Command Letterkenny LPG contract running through October 8, 2030.

Award activity declined over the past five years — from 19 awards in 2022 to 6 in 2025 and 2 in 2026 year-to-date — signaling either a shift in federal purchasing patterns toward fewer, larger vehicles or reduced competitive success. This trajectory warrants monitoring for recompete exposure: only five awards ($526 thousand combined potential value) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating a compressed recompete window and lower near-term contract-renewal risk.

The vendor's NAICS footprint centers on Natural Gas Distribution (130 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing (101 awards), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas Dealers (90 awards), with PSC concentration in Gases: Compressed and Liquefied (203 awards) and Liquid Propane and Petroleum Base Fuels (188 awards). This commodity-supply profile places Ferrellgas in competition primarily on price and logistics reliability rather than technical differentiation. SCI-reported data is minimal — one FY2024 sub-award record showing 0.8 FTEs — reflecting that most Ferrellgas work is goods delivery (propane) rather than reportable federal services labor. The vendor maintains active System for Award Management registration and does not hold positions on government-wide IDIQs or GWACs; all work flows through agency-specific vehicles or GSA Schedules.
