Grove Energy Management, L.L.C.

Grove Energy Management, L.L.C., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Lexington, Kentucky, supplies natural gas to federal facilities as a subcontractor exclusively — the company has placed zero prime awards and operates entirely under subcontracts issued by United Energy Trading, L.L.C. Grove is structured as a limited liability company and holds DOT certification as a disadvantaged business enterprise and Hispanic American ownership designation.

Grove's entire recent federal footprint consists of five natural gas supply subcontracts awarded between January 2025 and May 2026, all flowing through United Energy Trading as the prime contractor. The scope spans four distinct customer agencies: the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region (2 task orders), the Social Security Administration (1), NASA Glenn Research Center (1), and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (1). All five subcontracts are priced on a month-to-month variable-rate basis tied to Grove's quoted pricing rather than fixed obligated amounts; the combined potential value across all five subcontracts is $1.8 million. Work includes natural gas supply to NASA GSFC in Greenbelt, Maryland; a central heating plant at 325 13th Street SW in Washington, D.C.; SSA headquarters buildings and associated facilities; and the NASA Glenn Research Center main campus. Grove's subcontracts are positioned under three GSA indefinite delivery contracts: 47PA0724D0010 (2 task orders), 47PA0425D0010 (1), and 47PA0724D0017 (1).

Activity is nascent — one award in 2025, four in 2026 — and concentrated entirely in natural gas distribution (NAICS classification). Grove operates exclusively as a subcontractor with no parent IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles of its own, and presents no direct-bid competitive threat to federal contractors; its role is confined to commodity energy supply delivered through United Energy Trading's prime relationships.
