London Corbin Airport Board

London Corbin Airport Board, a Kentucky airport authority operating as a U.S. local government entity, supplies aviation turbine fuel (JAA) to the Defense Logistics Agency Energy under a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $838 thousand running through September 2024, with the vast majority of recent awards issued as fixed-price delivery orders against that vehicle.

London Corbin Airport Board's federal footprint is operationally narrow and concentrated. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 988 of 1,013 total prime awards (98% by count) and $5.6 million of the combined $6.5 million potential value across all awards. The entity has served five distinct federal customer agencies over the period covered, but the remaining four—the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Department of the Army Kentucky Army National Guard—represent a combined ten awards. The source data spans from 2004 to present, but activity has contracted sharply: 173 awards in 2022, 152 in 2023, 59 in 2024, and two awards in both 2025 and 2026, indicating sustained recompete risk as the primary indefinite delivery contract approached expiration. The combined dollars obligated ($10.2 million) exceed the combined potential value ($6.5 million) by 58 percent, reflecting actual invoiced fuel deliveries over time. London Corbin Airport Board carries NAICS 311340 (Petroleum Refineries) across 986 awards and PSC code Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base across 990 awards, though the entity is an airport authority rather than a refinery or fuel wholesaler—the codes reflect the nature of the commodity procured, not the vendor's operational structure.

London Corbin Airport Board has received federal grant funding from the Federal Aviation Administration for airport infrastructure. Recent awards include a $169 thousand Project Grant dated August 28, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) for Phase 1 design services on Taxiway A resurfacing, an unnamed award dated August 27, 2025, for Phase 1 design of a 1,600-square-foot snow removal equipment building, and an unnamed award dated August 20, 2026, for Phase 1 design of a 3,600-square-foot aircraft storage hangar. The entity also appears as a sub-recipient under a July 17, 2026, grant sub-award from the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs categorized as Buildings and Equipment assistance. Historically, the airport board received grants from FAA supporting airport improvements and pandemic relief, including a $240 thousand award in July 2023 for master plan updates.

The indefinite delivery contract structure dominates London Corbin Airport Board's federal work. Four parent vehicles account for 984 task orders: the primary IDC SPE60721D0009 (492 task orders, $720 thousand combined potential value), SPE60017D0002 (290 task orders, $451 thousand), SP060012D0015 (201 task orders, $972 thousand), and SP060008D0065 (1 task order, $858 thousand). Individual delivery orders under these vehicles range from as low as $79 to over $170 thousand per order, with completion dates clustered in the summer months of 2023 and 2024. The place of performance for all contract work is London, Kentucky. London Corbin Airport Board operates as a sole-source supplier on the fuel contract and does not subcontract—the entity itself is the point of delivery for aviation turbine fuel to the Defense Logistics Agency Energy's Direct Delivery Fuels Into-Plane program, which serves military installations across the Midwestern and Rocky Mountain regions.
