Mercury Air Centers

Mercury Air Centers, doing business as Atlantic Aviation, is a for-profit corporate entity registered in the System for Award Management since September 2001 that specializes in the supply of aviation turbine fuel to the federal government. The company provides Jet Propulsion Fuel-8 (JAA) and related aviation fuel logistics services exclusively to the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, which procures fuel supplies to support military aircraft operations and federal agency aviation requirements across the eastern United States. As a fixed-base operator and fuel supplier, Atlantic Aviation has maintained a consistent federal contracting presence for over two decades, delivering critical fuel logistics support to Department of Defense components.

Atlantic Aviation's federal contract award history demonstrates a singular focus on the delivery of aviation turbine fuel through a comprehensive portfolio of delivery orders funded by the Defense Logistics Agency Energy. Since at least 2024, the company has received over 200 delivery order awards for Jet Propulsion Fuel-8 fuel supplies, with individual order values ranging from as low as $17 to over $5,900, reflecting the variable nature of government fuel procurement requirements. All delivery orders were awarded through open competition with no set-aside designations, indicating that Atlantic Aviation competed directly against other qualified vendors in the marketplace. The fuel deliveries are performed without noted subcontractor involvement, with Atlantic Aviation serving as the prime contractor responsible for direct delivery to DLA Energy facilities, particularly the agency's distribution center in Chamblee, Georgia. The fixed-price delivery order contracts uniformly incorporate economic price adjustment provisions, enabling the government to manage aviation fuel costs while maintaining supply flexibility. This extensive delivery order portfolio demonstrates Atlantic Aviation's established capability and reliable performance in meeting fluctuating federal aviation fuel requirements on an ongoing basis.

Mercury Air Centers holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, awarded on November 3, 2021, with a ceiling value of $640,260.23 and a period of performance extending through March 31, 2025. This IDIQ contract, identified under the major program code 2.3 East Domestic Fuels, serves as the primary vehicle under which the company fulfills its numerous delivery orders for Jet Propulsion Fuel-8 aviation turbine fuel. The single-award structure ensures that Atlantic Aviation is the exclusive provider under this particular IDIQ vehicle, providing DLA Energy with a dedicated supply mechanism for aviation fuel procurement across the eastern United States. The contract's indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity structure enables the Defense Logistics Agency to rapidly procure varying volumes of JAA fuel without requiring separate competitive solicitations, thereby streamlining the government's ability to respond to fluctuating fuel demands across military components and federal agencies. All task orders issued under this IDIQ have been awarded without set-aside designations and utilize fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing mechanisms, allowing the government flexibility in managing fuel costs while maintaining predictable supply arrangements with an established, qualified contractor.
