North American Fuel Tanks, Inc.

North American Fuel Tanks, Inc., based in Mansfield, Texas, manufactures fuel tanks, collapsible fabric tanks, and nonmetallic hose assemblies for military vehicle and equipment readiness as a prime contractor exclusively — the vendor holds no subcontract work in its federal portfolio. A minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business competing predominantly under total small business set-asides, North American Fuel Tanks has received 73 federal prime awards valued at $96.6 million (with $12.4 million obligated) since 2015, across nine distinct customer agencies, with recent activity concentrated in fuel tank and hose assembly procurement from defense logistics and Army vehicle modernization programs.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment division, which accounts for 27 awards (combined potential value $47.6 million) — nearly 50% of the vendor's portfolio by dollars. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal anchors the second-largest customer concentration, with 11 awards valued at $39.7 million combined potential value. These two customers together represent 38 of 73 total awards (52%) and $87.3 million of $96.6 million (90%) in combined potential value across the entire portfolio. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Robins Air Force Base, and the Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command round out the active set. The rankings converge — DLA Troop Support and Army Detroit Arsenal dominate both award count and dollars, signaling deep mission-critical relationships rather than fragmented small orders.

Award-per-year activity has declined in the recent period: the vendor averaged 3–6 awards annually from 2022 through 2024 but received only 1 award each in 2025 and 2026 through mid-year. The most recent award, dated April 28, 2026, was a $477,000 firm fixed-price definitive contract from DLA Land and Maritime for tank fuel engine components (NSN 2910-00-089-3947) under a total small business set-aside, with ultimate completion in May 2026. Representative prior work includes a $558,842 delivery order under an Army indefinite delivery contract for 28 tank fuel engines (March 2024), a $246,689 Air Force delivery order for 12 fuel tank engines (November 2024), and recurring DLA Land and Maritime purchase orders for hose assemblies ranging from $11,970 to $94,905 between 2022 and 2024.

The vendor's work flows through five principal indefinite delivery contracts: Army contract W56HZV20D0035 (5 task orders, $2.3 million combined potential value), Air Force contract FA853315D0006 (3 task orders, $2.5 million), Army contract SPRDL120D0070 (1 task order, $2.4 million), Army contract SPRDL118D0045 (3 task orders, $1.6 million), and Army contract SPE8EG19D0109 (3 task orders, $83 thousand). Capability concentration aligns with these vehicles: the top NAICS codes are Rubber and Plastics Hoses and Belting Manufacturing (24 awards) and Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (14 awards), with the top PSC codes for Storage Tanks (32 awards) and Hose and Flexible Tubing (17 awards) dominating the work mix.
