Performance Diesel Inc.

Performance Diesel Inc., a Webster, Texas-based for-profit Subchapter S corporation, supplies marine diesel engine components, overhaul services, and repair labor to the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no set-aside designation. The company is a sole-source authorized distributor and service facility for MAN Truck & Bus AG marine engine parts, holding a five-year indefinite delivery contract valued at approximately $2.3 million with the Coast Guard for ship service diesel generator maintenance and overhaul on 87-foot patrol boats.

The Coast Guard dominates Performance Diesel's customer footprint, representing 238 of 241 total awards (86% of portfolio) and $15.1 million of $15.7 million combined potential value. Secondary customers—the Navy, Marine Corps, Army Corps of Engineers, and Defense Logistics Agency—account for only three awards totaling less than $25 thousand, leaving Performance Diesel entirely dependent on Coast Guard demand. The company has served the Coast Guard continuously since 2004, competing successfully on single-award and multi-award full-and-open purchase orders for specific parts and repair services.

Recent representative work illustrates the vendor's core capability: a $72,135 firm fixed-price purchase order (January 2026) for open-inspect-repair-overhaul and restoration of 17 fuel metering and distribution pumps to original design specifications; a $45,059 contract (August 2024) for supply of 23 heat exchanger assemblies for main diesel generators on 87-foot patrol boats; and a $41,418 contract (July 2023) for open-inspect-report and repair of 16 electric starters. Smaller orders typically range between $3,240 and $40,000 and cover individual component supplies (cooling system pumps, gaskets, filter elements, fuel pumps, solenoids) and single-unit repairs.

Performance Diesel's award activity shows flat volume with modest dollar fluctuation: six awards per year in 2022 and 2024, five in 2023, and six in 2025, with three awards recorded through mid-2026. Of $15.7 million combined potential value, $10.3 million has been obligated (65% realization rate), indicating contract execution is lagging the authority granted. The vendor's parent vehicle footprint is narrow: the Coast Guard indefinite delivery contract HSCG4014D19001 (19 task orders, $2.9 million combined potential value) anchors 7% of the portfolio by award count; two other IDCs carry minimal activity. No GWACs or government-wide vehicles appear in the source.

The vendor holds a single identified subcontract role: a 2026 sub-award to Southwest Research Institute (prime) under Navy contract N0017822D4416 for purchase of a MAN Touchscreen Display Unit EDC 17. This represents minimal exposure outside the Coast Guard prime relationship. Within the next twenty-four months, only two awards (combined potential value $95 thousand) face ultimate completion dates, presenting minimal near-term recompete cliff risk. Performance Diesel's top product NAICS categories are Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (96 awards) and Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (62 awards); top PSCs include Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Ship and Marine Equipment (36 awards), Engine Fuel System Components Nonaircraft (29 awards), and Engine Cooling System Components Nonaircraft (27 awards).
