About the company
San Luis Butane Distributors, operating as Delta Liquid Energy Division, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Paso Robles, California, that supplies propane and compressed liquefied gases to Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, and other federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor. The vendor competes under Total Small Business set-asides on portions of its portfolio, particularly on Air Combat Command and Air Force Materiel Command contracts, but also pursues full-and-open delivery orders and BPA calls without set-aside protection through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and other vehicles.
Delta Liquid Energy's federal footprint is driven by military fuel supply: propane delivery to Air Force bases (Creech Air Force Base, Edwards Air Force Base, Nevada Test and Training Range), Army National Training Center installations (Fort Irwin), and Space Force locations. The vendor operates across 19 distinct federal agencies, but concentration is acute. By award count, the Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region leads with 140 awards ($2.6 million combined potential value), but this represents high-volume, low-dollar park supply work. By potential value, the top five customers account for 96% of combined potential value: GSA Federal Acquisition Service (2 awards, $61 million), Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region (7 awards, $38.1 million), Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (4 awards, $6.2 million), Department of the Air Force Space Command (59 awards, $4.2 million), and Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (3 awards, $3 million). The two rankings diverge sharply — NPS volume masks GSA and Army dollars — indicating a dual-track business model: routine park fuel supply against high-value military installation contracts.
Delta Liquid Energy holds three primary parent vehicles: a $4.4 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Air Combat Command (Total Small Business set-aside, running through April 2030) for propane delivery to Creech Air Force Base and Nevada Test and Training Range; a $1.5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Force Space Command (no set-aside, running through February 2027) for Vandenberg Space Force Base, Paso Robles, and Lompoc locations; and a $1 million multiple-award BPA with Air Force Materiel Command (Total Small Business set-aside, running through May 2031) at Edwards Air Force Base and Air Force Plant 42. Recent representative work includes a $6.62 million delivery order from the Army Southwest Region for liquid propane gas supply to Fort Irwin (awarded May 1, 2025, under GSA Multiple Award Schedule, no set-aside); a $675,390 Total Small Business delivery order from Air Combat Command for Creech Air Force Base and Nevada Test and Training Range (awarded May 1, 2026, ultimate completion April 2027); and a $674,937 delivery order from the National Park Service Pacific West Region for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks propane supply under GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded July 30, 2026, running through July 2031).
Activity has declined markedly. The vendor recorded seven awards in 2022, three in 2023, one in 2024, and three each in 2025 and 2026 — a downward trend despite a combined potential value of $117.5 million across 334 total awards. Three awards (combined potential value $7.5 million) reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime; 100% of awards are prime contracts or IDVs with zero subcontract engagement. Its NAICS profile centers on Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals (124 awards), Fuel Dealers (52 awards), and Liquefied Petroleum Gas Bottled Gas Dealers (42 awards); its PSC footprint aligns: Compressed and Liquefied Gases (113 awards) and Liquid Propellant Fuels, Petroleum Base (57 awards). Delta Liquid Energy has been registered in SAM.gov since 2001 and has operated as a specialized fuel distributor to military installations and federal facilities across California for over two decades.
