Purple Heart Connect LLC

Purple Heart Connect LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Plantation, Florida, supplies fuel products and specialized equipment to federal agencies primarily as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides and unrestricted procurements. The company competes across both SDVOSB set-aside and full-and-open designations, with 65% of recent awards concentrated in the top five customer agencies.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on bulk fuel delivery — diesel, unleaded gasoline, aviation fuel, and heating oil — to military installations, federal facilities, and national parks. Representative work includes a $722.4 million unrestricted purchase order with the Maritime Administration (awarded January 2022, completion January 2027) for annual delivery of approximately 57,600 gallons of 87-octane unleaded gasoline to the Beaumont Reserve Fleet in Texas under economic price adjustment; a $134.7 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (November 2022) for ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel delivery to a VA facility in Leeds, Massachusetts; and a $100 thousand BPA call from the Department of the Interior (November 2022, completion November 2027) for bulk aviation fuel supply to Big Bend National Park. The vendor has also secured two single-award blanket purchase agreements with the Department of the Interior valued at $250 thousand each through 2027 and 2028 for bulk fuel deliveries to Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and Big Bend National Park. Beyond fuel, the vendor supplies equipment ranging from gym equipment and valet parking carts to warehouse storage platforms and facility furnishings to VA medical centers and U.S. Special Operations Command.

Customer concentration by award count tilts toward the Defense Logistics Agency Energy (9 awards, $229 thousand) and multiple Veterans Integrated Service Network facilities (6 awards combined, $1.2 million potential value). By potential value, however, the Maritime Administration ($722 thousand from a single large contract) and the Department of Veterans Affairs dominate the portfolio. The vendor holds one active blanket purchase agreement (BPA 140D0423A0035) with one outstanding task order valued at $100 thousand. Activity peaked in 2022 with fourteen awards but has slowed materially — only two awards (one each in 2025 and 2026) in the past two years. Three awards with combined potential value of $948 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no recorded subcontract footprint in the source data.
