About the company
Merlin Petroleum Co Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Westport, Connecticut, supplies marine gas oil, automotive gasoline, diesel fuel, and burner fuel oil to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under a single-award IDIQ with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy. The company operates entirely in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations, despite holding woman-owned and small disadvantaged business certifications; it has received 3,440 federal awards since 2002, with 98 percent of recent volume concentrated in DLA Energy work.
Merlin Petroleum's federal footprint is extraordinarily narrow and specialized. Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 3,294 of its 3,440 total awards (98 percent of the portfolio) and $712 million of its $717.2 million combined potential value. The remaining awards scatter across eighteen other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (34 awards, $720 thousand), the Department of the Interior National Park Service Southeast Region (5 awards, $406 thousand), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (4–6 awards). The vendor competes in two procurement channels within DLA Energy: the primary single-award IDIQ contract with a ceiling of $1.8 million, awarded October 1, 2021, and expiring April 30, 2026, which has generated 547 task orders, and the earlier DLA Fuel Products Purchase vehicle covering 2013–2016, which generated 427 task orders valued at $9.6 million combined. Recent delivery orders cluster in the low thousands to mid-five-figures; spot-buy purchases under the FEPEC Ships Bunkers program for Navy, Military Sealift Command, Army Corps of Engineers, and NOAA vessels range from $9,000 to $750,000. All work is performed in Westport, Connecticut, using fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment mechanisms.
Award activity has remained flat, with 125–137 awards per year from 2023 through 2025. The primary IDIQ expires April 30, 2026, creating recompete cliff exposure; approximately 370 task orders under the parent vehicle SPE60521D8511 are scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no documented subcontractors across its entire portfolio. NAICS concentration aligns with the commodity-fuel profile: 2,839 awards under Petroleum Refineries (NAICS 324110), 540 under Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 424720), and token awards in heating oil and other fuels. PSC coding reflects the same specificity: 2,768 awards coded to Fuel Oils (PSC 4470), 629 to Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base (PSC 4320). Revenue scale and staffing details are not available from the source. Merlin Petroleum's customer concentration, vehicle posture, and capability framing place it squarely in the federal fuel distribution supply chain for DoD maritime operations and installations across the Northeastern United States, with zero exposure to defense IT, engineering, or logistics services outside petroleum products.
