Petromax, LLC

Petromax, LLC is a for-profit limited liability company registered to receive federal contract awards since May 2010. The company specializes in providing aviation turbine fuel to the U.S. Department of Defense, primarily through contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy). As a key supplier in the defense fuel supply chain, Petromax delivers jet fuel to support critical military aviation operations across various locations, with a primary focus on its facilities in Houston, Texas.

Over the past four years, Petromax has been awarded numerous fixed-price delivery order contracts by DLA Energy to supply turbine fuel for aviation purposes. These contracts, typically ranging from $3.8 million to $22 million in value, involve the delivery of aviation fuel to military installations and programs in the Houston area and potentially other regions. The fuel provided by Petromax is required to meet strict military specifications and is used to power aircraft supporting Department of Defense missions worldwide. The company's contracts do not generally involve set-asides or identified subcontractors, indicating that Petromax operates as a prime contractor in its fuel supply role.

Petromax holds three significant Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with DLA Energy, each with potential values exceeding $100 million. The most recent IDC, awarded in February 2023, has a ceiling value of $107,487,966.60 and utilizes partial small business set-asides. This contract has facilitated over 15 fixed-price delivery orders totaling more than $180 million for aviation turbine fuel supply. A previous IDC awarded in March 2022, valued at $71,040,450.60, also employed partial small business set-asides and resulted in six delivery orders exceeding $115 million. An earlier IDC from February 2020, with a potential value of $100,790,924.40, led to nine delivery orders totaling nearly $50 million. These IDCs enable DLA Energy to efficiently procure large quantities of aviation fuel from Petromax to meet the Department of Defense's global petroleum requirements, with deliveries made via tanker, barge, truck, or pipeline to hundreds of locations across the United States and potentially offshore.
