Maverick Air Center LLC

Maverick Air Center LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered 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 as a prime contractor exclusively through the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, with 100% of its recent award footprint concentrated in a single customer and no subcontractors across its contracting history.

Maverick Air Center operates as a specialized fuel logistics supplier with a narrow but deep customer relationship. The vendor's award portfolio spans 1,080 delivery orders and one prime indefinite delivery contract, all issued by DLA Energy since 2012, with combined potential value of $10 million and $4.3 million in obligated dollars. The vendor competes under full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. Recent annual delivery order volume has averaged 130 to 190 awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with 105 awards year-to-date in 2026 through mid-July. The most recent award dated July 16, 2026, represents typical transaction sizes — individual delivery orders range from under $300 to approximately $9,800, reflecting demand-driven small-volume fuel replenishment cycles across DLA Energy's network.

The vendor's primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60725D0030, a single-award contract awarded April 1, 2025, with a $2.119 million ceiling through September 30, 2028, authorizing fixed-price delivery orders with economic price adjustment for aviation turbine fuel supply to 15 commercial airports and military installations across Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. As of mid-July 2026, 237 task orders under this vehicle carry combined potential value of $297 thousand. Two older vehicles remain active in the portfolio: Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60721D0042 with 558 task orders ($1.4 million combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract SP060012D0057 with 282 task orders ($2.6 million combined potential value), representing historical fuel supply arrangements predating the current IDC.

Place of performance for all delivery orders is DLA Energy's bulk petroleum storage facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. All awards are structured as fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment, with ultimate completion dates typically matching or near the award date, indicating high-velocity small-order execution against standing inventory or supplier capacity. The underlying IDC was awarded through a lowest-price technically acceptable source selection process requiring certificates of analysis verifying fuel specifications and commitment letters from fixed-base operators.

The vendor is listed as a child entity under parent Sanford (a non-profit hospital organization headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota), though the source provides no detail on the corporate relationship or the basis for this classification. Award history shows no diversification to other customer agencies, no subcontract engagement, and no expansion beyond aviation fuel supply to DLA Energy across the 14-year contracting record in the source data.
