Sage Energy Trading LLC

Sage Energy Trading LLC, an SBA-certified HUBZone woman-owned small business headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, supplies natural gas to the federal government as a prime contractor across 64 agencies through firm fixed-price delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations despite holding HUBZone and woman-owned certifications.

Sage Energy operates as a commodity natural gas supplier, procuring and delivering natural gas via interstate pipeline transportation and local distribution company relationships across more than 20 states. The vendor's capability footprint centers on natural gas acquisition, pipeline management, and direct supply logistics to federal facilities including military installations, Veterans Affairs medical centers, federal correctional institutions, Department of Energy sites, and NASA facilities. Representative work includes a $18.5 million delivery order from NASA Johnson Space Center (November 2025 through October 2028) for natural gas supply to three Houston-area facilities; an $8.87 million indefinite delivery contract from the Department of Energy (October 2025 through September 2027) for natural gas supply across eight central U.S. states with economic price adjustment mechanisms; and a $3.1 million delivery order for natural gas supply to the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio (December 2024 through December 2026).

Customer concentration is dominated by two agencies anchoring 88 percent of combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Energy places 69 awards valued at $1.71 billion combined potential value, while the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service awards 156 orders valued at $855.9 million combined potential value. Remaining concentration sits with the Department of Veterans Affairs (multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks with $38.1 million across 46 awards to VISN 17 alone), the Department of the Air Force Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex (53 awards, $19.8 million), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (39 awards to Federal Correctional Institution Sandstone alone, $7.3 million combined). This concentration pattern reflects Sage Energy's role as a commodity supplier locked into repeat, seasonal, and account-specific task-order cycles rather than single large contracts.

Sage Energy holds at least 13 active indefinite delivery contracts across GSA Public Buildings Service and Defense Logistics Agency Energy, with ceiling values ranging from $2 million to $16 million per vehicle and performance periods extending through 2030. The largest active vehicles are a $16 million GSA PBS contract awarded October 2025 for natural gas distribution across 10 states through September 2030; an $8.87 million Department of Energy IDIQ effective October 2025 through September 2027; and an $8.87 million Defense Logistics Agency contract spanning eight states (October 2025–September 2027). Task-order activity under these vehicles has been heavy — the top five parent vehicles alone carry 184 task orders with $47.7 million combined potential value — indicating Sage Energy's role as a standing supplier across fragmented, high-volume federal natural gas procurement. Recent activity shows 23 awards in 2025 and 14 in 2026, but only one award recorded in 2027 to date; this likely reflects a portfolio lag rather than decline, given the multi-year nature of underlying IDIQs and the typical quarterly/monthly task-order cycle.

Sage Energy competes full-and-open on every awarded contract in the source, despite holding both HUBZone and woman-owned small business certifications. No awards carry set-aside designations across the 1,040-award portfolio. This posture suggests either deliberate choice to pursue non-set-aside work or systematic loss of set-aside advantages in favor of broader agency relationships and lower pricing on commodity supply. The vendor operates at scale — $2.99 billion in combined potential value across the award portfolio with $395.2 million obligated (13 percent utilization) — and has maintained continuous federal natural gas supply relationships since at least 2000, with particularly dense activity since 2022.

The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months stands at only $6.9 million across seven awards, a negligible portion of the portfolio, suggesting most underlying IDIQs carry multi-year terms that are not reaching completion within this window. This structural protection is typical for standing commodity suppliers; recompete risk is distributed across many small task orders issued annually against stable parent vehicles rather than concentrated in a handful of large contract renewals.
