Hope Gas, Inc.

Hope Gas, Inc., doing business as Dominion Energy West Virginia, provides natural gas utility services to federal facilities and installations across West Virginia as a prime contractor, competing exclusively in open market (full-and-open) procurement with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit subsidiary of Dominion Energy, Inc., headquartered in Morgantown, West Virginia, and operates under the natural gas distribution NAICS code (74 awards across the source data span).

Hope Gas's federal footprint is concentrated in utility service delivery — exclusively natural gas supply and infrastructure support to correctional facilities, research centers, law enforcement infrastructure, and civilian agency properties. Recent representative work includes a $3.97 million ten-year delivery order from the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy for standard natural gas utility service at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Morgantown through July 2034; a $815 thousand delivery order from the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division for natural gas services to the CJIS campus in Clarksburg through December 2023; and a $609.8 thousand delivery order from the Department of Justice's Criminal Justice Information Services Division for gas utility services at the Everettville, West Virginia facility through December 2026. Hope Gas also delivers natural gas to the CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health campus in Morgantown (multiple contracts ranging from $342 thousand to $663 thousand) and to the Federal Correctional Institution Morgantown (recurring quarterly contracts ranging from $9.9 thousand to $87 thousand).

Customer concentration is fragmented across 16 agencies, but the Department of Justice agencies dominate by dollar value: the FBI's Headquarters Division leads with 17 awards worth $8.8 million combined potential value, and the Federal Correctional Institution Morgantown anchors 27 awards worth $2.2 million combined potential value. The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accounts for 12 awards ($3.6 million combined potential value), primarily at the NIOSH Morgantown campus. By contract value magnitude, however, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Central Office Energy Division carries 2 awards worth $56 million combined potential value — the largest single source in Hope Gas's portfolio. The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and National Energy Technology Lab together account for $6.8 million and $4.9 million respectively.

Hope Gas executes most work under parent indefinite delivery contracts: IDC 47PA0419D0009 (33 task orders, $10.9 million combined potential value) and IDC GS00P08BSD0567 (32 task orders, $24.1 million combined potential value) are the two largest vehicles. Activity has declined modestly — 6 awards in 2022 and 2023, 7 in 2024, 5 in 2025, and 2 through mid-2026 — with only four awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $2.7 million), signaling minimal recompete pressure. Hope Gas operates almost entirely as a prime contractor (99% of awards) with a single grant sub-award as of November 2024 under Battelle Memorial Institute for ARCH2 support, suggesting the company's primary role remains utility service delivery rather than teaming or subordinate technical work. Combined potential value across all 185 awards in the source data reaches $92.1 million, with $41 million obligated (44% utilization rate), reflecting a mature, stable utility services relationship with federal facility managers rather than growth-trajectory procurement.
