Sinclair Oil Corporation

Sinclair Oil Corporation is a family-owned petroleum products company that operates over 1,400 service stations and specializes in supplying bulk petroleum products to the federal government, particularly the U.S. Department of Defense. The company, through its subsidiary Sinclair Oil LLC, is a major provider of aviation turbine fuel, diesel fuel, and other petroleum-based products to federal agencies. Founded as a regional petroleum company, Sinclair Oil Corporation has grown to become a significant supplier of energy products, with a strong focus on serving military and government fuel requirements.

Through federal contract awards, Sinclair Oil Corporation has consistently provided aviation turbine fuel to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy, predominantly supporting military operations at installations like Hill Air Force Base in Utah. The company has been awarded numerous fixed-price delivery order contracts, typically ranging from tens of thousands to nearly $1 million, for the supply of aviation fuels. These contracts are primarily issued against indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles, with some contracts being partially set aside for small businesses. The contracts consistently involve delivering jet fuel to military locations, primarily in the Rocky Mountain, West Coast, and Offshore regions, demonstrating the company's specialized capability in meeting critical military fuel infrastructure needs.

Regarding federal grant awards, Sinclair Oil Corporation received a notable $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Biofuel Producer Program in May 2023. This grant was specifically designed to provide COVID-19 relief payments to the company's biofuel subsidiary, Sinclair Oil LLC. While the available records show limited grant activity, this award indicates the company's engagement with federal support programs aimed at supporting energy sector businesses during the pandemic.

Sinclair Oil Corporation holds two significant federal contract IDVs with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy: SPE60223D0485 and SPE60222D0498. The SPE60223D0485 contract, valued at $49,052,845.88, is a single-award IDV for the Rocky Mountain West Coast Offshore program, running from October 2023 through September 2024 and partially set aside for small businesses. The SPE60222D0498 contract, valued at $72,910,155.26, covers a similar period through September 2023 and was also partially set aside for small businesses. Both IDVs involve delivering substantial quantities of aviation fuels and naval distillate—approximately 808 million gallons of aviation fuels and 120 million gallons of naval distillate—primarily to locations in Salt Lake City, Utah. These IDVs have been used to issue numerous fixed-price delivery orders supporting critical Department of Defense fuel requirements.
