Holman Aviation CO.

Holman Aviation Co., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Great Falls, Montana, supplies aviation turbine fuel (Jet A and JP-8) to the federal government as a prime contractor operating under a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, with all 3,104 awards in the past several years flowing from that vehicle and no subcontract footprint.

Holman Aviation's federal footprint is monolithic: 3,071 of 3,104 awards (99% by count and 99% by potential value) derive from DLA Energy under the FEPEA INTO-PLANE DOMESTIC program (Program Code 2.3W). The underlying IDC, valued at $1,812,940.31, runs from July 1, 2022 through March 31, 2026 and authorizes fixed-price and fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment delivery orders for aviation turbine fuel across eleven western states and territories—Alaska, American Samoa, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Performance occurs in Great Falls, Montana, where the company maintains operational headquarters and primary fuel distribution facilities. The contract covers Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) and Jet A fuel without fuel system icing inhibitor additives to support military and civilian government aircraft operations. The pre-solicitation anticipated procurement of approximately 149 million gallons. Individual delivery orders under this IDC have ranged from under $100 to approximately $62,000 per order; combined potential value across all awards sits at $34.5 million, with $25.6 million obligated (74% of potential).

Activity has remained steady: 159 awards in 2022, 331 in 2023, 287 in 2024, and 285 in 2025, with 74 awards through March 2026. The vast majority of awards are delivery orders issued against three principal parent IDCs: Indefinite Delivery Contract SP060014D0037 (1,043 task orders, $6.8 million combined potential value), SPE60718D0032 (1,025 task orders, $2.5 million), and SPE60722D0078 (995 task orders, $2.7 million). All awards carry no set-aside designation and are funded exclusively by DLA Energy, a Defense Department component. Secondary customers include the Department of the Air Force ($106 thousand, 1 award), Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer ($6 thousand, 1 award), and isolated awards to the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and Department of the Army.

Holman Aviation's capability portfolio is specialized and narrow: the vendor is categorized under NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) for 3,066 of its awards and under 4247 (Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers) for 7 awards. PSC coding confirms the focus—3,096 awards fall under "Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base." The company operates with no identified subcontractors and serves as the sole-source, single-award prime under its DLA Energy contract. The economic-price-adjustment mechanism embedded in the contract structure allows Holman Aviation to manage commodity fuel price volatility while maintaining pricing certainty for the government, a critical feature for recurring federal aviation fuel logistics requirements in the western region.
