Marathon Petroleum Company LP

Marathon Petroleum Company LP is a large, for-profit petroleum refining and marketing company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio, where it maintains significant manufacturing and distribution infrastructure. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since April 2002, the company specializes in providing critical petroleum-based fuel products exclusively to the U.S. federal government, particularly the Department of Defense. Marathon Petroleum's core business involves the procurement and delivery of military-grade aviation turbine fuels and naval distillate fuels that support military aircraft, naval vessels, and ground vehicle operations across the United States.

Marathon Petroleum Company LP has been awarded over 160 prime federal delivery order contracts through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy between June 2024 and October 2025, with contract values ranging from approximately $22,000 to over $31 million per individual delivery order. The overwhelming majority of these contracts provide aviation turbine fuels, including JP5, JAA, and JP8 grades, along with naval distillate fuel (F76), all structured as fixed-price agreements with economic price adjustment mechanisms to account for petroleum market volatility. All delivery order contracts were awarded without set-aside designations through full and open competition, demonstrating Marathon Petroleum's competitive capabilities in meeting the Department of Defense's rigorous fuel procurement requirements. The contracts are funded exclusively by the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, the Department of Defense's primary fuel procurement organization, with performance consistently executed at Marathon Petroleum's Findlay, Ohio facility. Marathon Petroleum serves as the prime contractor on all identified contracts with no subcontractors noted, indicating the company performs all fuel refining, quality control, and distribution functions directly. Individual delivery orders carry completion dates typically ranging from 5 to 60 days, reflecting the urgent operational requirements of military fuel logistics, and collectively these task orders represent ongoing utilization of the company's larger Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with DLA Energy.

Marathon Petroleum Company LP received one prime federal grant award through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Port Security Grant Program on September 21, 2022, valued at $2 million as a Project Grant. This federal grant was designed to enhance security infrastructure at Marathon Petroleum's port facility in Findlay, Ohio, strengthening the company's ability to protect critical petroleum refining and distribution operations that support Department of Defense fuel requirements. The Port Security Grant Program, administered by FEMA, targets critical infrastructure facilities involved in maritime commerce and transportation, and the award to Marathon Petroleum reflects the strategic importance of the company's Findlay port facility to the nation's fuel supply chain for military operations.
