Pike Aviation, Inc.

Pike Aviation, Inc., based in Hill, Alabama, is a for-profit fuel supplier delivering aviation turbine fuel meeting Joint Airworthiness Authority standards to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, with 100 percent of its federal award footprint concentrated in prime work under Defense Logistics Agency Energy delivery orders.

Pike Aviation operates almost entirely within a single parent vehicle: an Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE607-23-R-0202) awarded by Defense Logistics Agency Energy on July 1, 2023, with a $14.2 million ceiling and completion date of March 31, 2027. The IDC authorizes procurement of approximately 192.7 million gallons of aviation turbine fuel for inplane refueling operations across commercial airports in nine southeastern states, with place of performance in Troy, Alabama. All delivery orders against this contract use fixed-price contracting with economic price adjustment provisions and carry no set-aside designation. The contract's scope reflects bulk fuel supply to military aviation operations in a nine-state region.

Pike's recent award footprint is extreme in concentration: 39,334 total federal awards in the source dataset, of which 39,323 (99.97 percent by count) are delivery orders against the DLA Energy IDC. Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 100 percent of awards by customer concentration, with a combined potential value of $51.6 million. The remaining seven awards involve the parent Defense Logistics Agency with nominal or unstated values. Over the past five years, activity has remained high in absolute terms—ranging from 3,649 awards in 2025 to 4,624 in 2024—but these represent individually small-dollar delivery orders. The source data show 1,268 awards year-to-date in 2026 (through mid-April), tracking toward a lower annual total than 2024. The combined potential value across all awards is $55 million, with $26.3 million obligated (48 percent execution rate), signaling that many delivery orders have not yet been fully funded or invoiced.

Pike's capability is narrow and specialized: the source categorizes the work under NAICS 424690 (Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers except Bulk Stations and Terminals) and PSC code for Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base. The vendor holds no parent vehicles, sits on no GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs, and performs no subcontract work. The parent IDC (SPE607-23-R-0202) is a single-award contract, meaning Pike is the sole authorized supplier for this fuel stream on this vehicle through March 2027. The IDC itself appears to be one component of a larger Defense Logistics Agency Energy fuel distribution network spanning multiple IDCs and suppliers across different regions and fuel types; the vendor award portfolio lists four other active DLA Energy parent IDCs (SPE60719D0063, SPE60723D0013, SP060015D0107, SP060011D0072) with no Pike awards, indicating other suppliers serve adjacent geographies or fuel categories. Pike's recompete exposure is concentrated in the parent IDC's March 31, 2027 expiration—the single point of customer-relationship risk for this vendor. No subcontractor relationships, teaming arrangements, or multi-customer diversification appear in the source material.
