Maverick Air Center LLC

Maverick Air Center LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, supplies aviation turbine fuel (Jet A and Jet Propellant 8 with fuel system icing inhibitor additive) to the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency Energy as a prime contractor, with 100 percent of its recent federal awards under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designation.

Maverick Air Center operates exclusively as a fuel logistics supplier to a single customer, the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, which accounts for all 1,007 awards in its federal footprint spanning from 2012 to April 2026. The vendor's activity has averaged 160 awards annually over the past five years, with 180 awards in 2022, 191 in 2023, 125 in 2024, and 133 in 2025, slowing to 32 awards through mid-2026. Combined potential value across all awards totals $9.9 million, with $4.2 million obligated to date (42 percent realization). All awards are categorized under PSC Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base, with NAICS split between Petroleum Refineries (724 awards) and Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers (283 awards).

The vendor operates under three parent indefinite delivery contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Energy. The largest, IDC SPE60721D0042 with a $1.375 million ceiling through September 30, 2024, supported 558 task orders totaling $1.4 million in combined potential value and covered Domestic Into-Plane Refueling across 15 central U.S. states. The current primary vehicle, IDC SPE60725D0030 awarded April 1, 2025, carries a $2.119 million ceiling through September 30, 2028, and has generated 164 task orders valued at $186 thousand. A second active contract, IDC SP060012D0057, generated 282 task orders worth $2.6 million combined potential value. All delivery orders are structured as fixed-price with economic price adjustment, with individual ceiling values ranging from under $200 to approximately $9,800, reflecting demand-driven variable fuel orders supporting military aviation operations at commercial airports and military installations across Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Place of performance is DLA Energy's bulk petroleum storage facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The vendor holds a single-vendor relationship with DLA Energy with no identified subcontractors across its contracting history. Maverick Air Center has maintained SAM.gov registration since November 2011 and was selected for its current IDC through a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection process requiring certificates of analysis verifying fuel specifications and commitment letters from fixed-base operators. The source data indicates Maverick Air Center operates as a child entity under parent Sanford, a Fargo, North Dakota-based non-profit health organization, though the corporate relationship appears administrative rather than operational.
