Regional Jet Center, Inc.

Regional Jet Center, Inc., doing business as Crain Aviation, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Bentonville, Arkansas that supplies aviation turbine fuel (JAA designation) to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under single-award indefinite delivery contracts, competing in the open federal marketplace without set-aside designation.

Regional Jet Center operates exclusively as a fixed-base operator and fuel supplier. The vendor holds a dominant position on Defense Logistics Agency Energy's single-award IDV SPE60724D0005, awarded December 1, 2023, with a $9 million ceiling running through March 31, 2027. Under this vehicle alone, Regional Jet Center has received 3,108 delivery orders totaling $3.9 million in combined potential value as of mid-2026. The company supplies approximately 192.7 million gallons of aviation turbine fuel for delivery to commercial airports across nine states, supporting Department of Defense domestic aviation fuel supply chain operations and military into-plane services. All delivery orders are priced fixed-price with economic price adjustment provisions, reflecting responsive procurement for discrete daily fuel requirements ranging from under $500 to over $21,000 per order.

Customer concentration is extreme and reflects the vendor's narrow specialization. Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 13,289 of 13,305 total awards (100% of combined potential value of $50.5 million) across the five-year view in the source. The remaining three awards are distributed to GSA Public Buildings Service and DLA (non-Energy). Regional Jet Center places work under three additional DLA Energy IDVs—SPE60719D0003 (5,611 task orders, $6.5 million), SP060015D0019 (4,259 task orders, $8.3 million), and SP060011D0016 (305 task orders, $4.1 million)—all aviation turbine fuel supply vehicles. The vendor has zero subcontractor relationships; all 13,305 awards are prime contracts. Activity has declined from a peak of 1,328 awards in 2022 to 632 awards in 2026 year-to-date, though the company continues receiving multiple daily delivery orders against its core fuel supply IDVs.

The vendor's entire federal footprint is classified under NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries) for 8,721 awards and NAICS 424710 (Petroleum and Petroleum Products Merchant Wholesalers) for 4,570 awards, with 13,295 of 13,305 awards assigned to PSC 4940 (Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base). Place of performance is consistently Bentonville, AR, where the company operates its fixed-base facility. Regional Jet Center is not a contractor vehicle holder—it competes as a prime on DLA Energy's single-award IDVs but does not hold or manage GWAC, BPA, or agency-wide vehicles for other vendors. The company's federal revenue profile is entirely dependent on continuation and task-order volume under its DLA Energy fuel supply contracts, with no diversification into other customer agencies or commodity categories.
