Gulf Atlantic Airways, Inc.

Gulf Atlantic Airways, Inc., operating through its University Air Center Division in Gainesville, Florida, supplies aviation turbine fuel (JAA specification) to the Defense Logistics Agency Energy as a self-certified small disadvantaged business prime contractor on a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle valued at $3,705,729.60 through March 31, 2029.

Gulf Atlantic Airways is a for-profit corporate entity and self-certified small disadvantaged business competing in full-and-open procurement. The vendor's federal footprint is entirely concentrated on DLA Energy contracts for direct into-plane aviation fuel delivery across multiple East Coast states and territories—the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and portions of Canada—at 19 commercial airport locations. The company performs all fuel procurement and delivery operations at its Gainesville, Florida facility as a prime contractor without subcontractor involvement.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 9,578 of 9,582 awards (100% of the meaningful portfolio) and $30.6 million in combined potential value. One residual award lists DLA (the parent agency) without the Energy component. The vendor has worked exclusively with DLA Energy since at least 2000, with recent activity dominated by delivery orders under two parent IDVs: the primary single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60721D0069 (3,220 task orders, $3.3 million combined potential value) and a second vehicle, SPE60017D0086 (3,565 task orders, $2.7 million combined potential value). A third vehicle, SP060013D0016, carries 2,444 task orders valued at $5.3 million. Representative delivery orders issued between January and April 2026 range from under $100 to approximately $7,089 in ceiling value, with typical orders valued between $1,000 and $2,500. Each delivery order is structured as fixed-price with economic price adjustment to manage fuel cost volatility.

Activity has declined year over year from a 2022 peak of 785 awards to 251 awards in 2026 through April. The source indicates 9,582 total awards in the bounded dataset spanning from 2000 through April 2026, suggesting high-volume, transactional procurement patterns characteristic of fuel-logistics supply contracts. Awards obligated to date total $14.9 million against the $30.6 million combined potential value, indicating roughly 49% obligation rate across the portfolio.

The vendor's capability footprint is narrow and specialized: direct into-plane aviation fuel delivery to support Department of Defense and federal civilian agency operations. Procurement classification is concentrated under NAICS Petroleum Refineries (9,575 awards) and PSC code Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base (9,581 awards). Gulf Atlantic Airways operates as a fuel logistics provider and holds no parent contract vehicles—it is the awardee on the DLA Energy IDVs, not a subcontractor embedded in broader systems integrator programs. The vendor's role is supply-chain singular: fuel availability and timely delivery to designated airports across the East Coast region.
