Hunt & Sons, Inc.

Hunt & Sons, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Sacramento, California, supplies petroleum products and lubricants to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively, operating across purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its federal work.

Hunt & Sons' customer base is heavily concentrated in energy and resource management. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 371 of 467 awards (79% of volume) with $56 million in combined potential value, dominating both award count and dollar concentration. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service R5-Pacific Southwest Region places 50 awards valued at $4.2 million, followed at lower volume by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Herlong (8 awards, $184 thousand), the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation (3 awards, $133 thousand), and the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 (1 award, $75 thousand). These five customers account for 96% of recent awards and 99% of combined potential value, with DLA Energy's fuel-supply relationship anchoring the entire footprint.

Hunt & Sons operates primarily under two large indefinite delivery contracts: SP060012D4536 with 286 task orders valued at $16.5 million and SPE60016D4534 with 80 task orders valued at $1.2 million. The vendor also places smaller volumes through blanket purchase agreements with the Department of Agriculture, including AG9JGPB170001 (13 task orders, $327 thousand) and AG9JGPB160002 (8 task orders, $73 thousand).

The vendor's capability scope is narrowly defined: fuel supply, including diesel fuel (dyed and ultra-low sulfur), heating oil, and industrial lubricants such as Chevron GST oil ISO 68. Representative recent work includes a $112,041 purchase order from the Bureau of Reclamation Northern California Area Office (July 1, 2026) to supply 5,900 gallons of hydraulic oil across three power plants at Shasta Lake with 90-day delivery windows, a $75,000 emergency generator fuel order from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 at Coleman National Fish Hatchery (June 10, 2026), and multiple fuel-supply purchase orders from Federal Correctional Institution Herlong in 2021 ranging from $8,101 to $49,684 per order.

Activity has declined sharply in recent years. The vendor recorded 26 awards in 2019, eight in 2020, four in 2021, one in 2022, and two in 2026. Combined potential value across all 467 awards totals $61.2 million, with $37.1 million obligated (61% execution rate). Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (the July 2026 Bureau of Reclamation order), presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure for competitors. Hunt & Sons' award categorization by NAICS and PSC reinforces the fuel-supply specialization: 371 awards fall under Petroleum Refineries NAICS, 160 awards under Liquid Propellants and Fuels PSC codes, with ancillary categories covering natural resources support and forestry fire suppression.
