Franklin Mountain Aviation ELP LLC

Franklin Mountain Aviation ELP LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in El Paso, Texas, supplies aviation turbine fuel (JAA) exclusively to the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency Energy as a prime contractor under a single-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designation.

Franklin Mountain Aviation operates as a specialized fuel logistics provider with a footprint entirely concentrated in petroleum fuel procurement and delivery. The company holds a single-award IDIQ contract (solicitation SPE607-23-R-0202) valued at $29.85 million, awarded July 1, 2023, and extending through March 31, 2027, that authorizes procurement and delivery of approximately 192.7 million gallons of turbine fuel across nine states. Under this parent vehicle, the vendor has received 7,170 delivery orders with a combined potential value of $8 million as of late April 2026. Representative task orders include a $13,429.90 delivery order (April 6, 2026), a $10,686.68 order (March 26, 2026), and a $7,206.70 order (April 6, 2026), all for aviation turbine fuel delivery to El Paso, Texas. All orders are priced fixed-price with economic price adjustment mechanisms to accommodate market fuel-cost fluctuations.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100 percent of the vendor's 7,171 recent awards fund Defense Logistics Agency Energy operations, representing $37.8 million in combined potential value. The vendor operates as a direct prime contractor with no documented subcontractor involvement across all awards.

Activity has grown sharply year over year—1,206 awards in 2023, 2,552 in 2024, and 2,569 in 2025—before moderating to 844 awards through April 2026. The $29.85 million parent IDIQ ceiling represents the scope of Franklin Mountain Aviation's federal contracting footprint; $8 million has been obligated to date, reflecting 21 percent of potential value. The parent contract extends through March 31, 2027, representing the near-term recompete window for this single-customer, single-product relationship.
