Sprague Operating Resources LLC

Sprague Operating Resources LLC, a Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based large for-profit limited liability company, is a prime contractor delivering diesel fuel, burner fuel oil, and natural gas services to the Defense Department and federal civilian agencies, competing exclusively in full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurements. The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of prime contract awards—no subcontractor work—anchored overwhelmingly by Defense Logistics Agency Energy, which accounts for 3,053 of 3,445 total awards (93% of recent activity) and $287 million of the $322.9 million combined potential value portfolio.

Sprague's core capability is fixed-price fuel supply with economic price adjustment mechanisms, delivered primarily to military installations and federal facilities across nine Northeastern states. Representative delivery orders span diesel fuel ($58,093.57 on April 13, 2026; $97,457 on March 24, 2026), burner fuel oil ($20,110.28 on April 8, 2026; $19,864.58 on April 6, 2026), and natural gas service ($822,200 to Watervliet Arsenal through March 31, 2027; $500,000 to Internal Revenue Service Brookhaven Campus through March 31, 2027). All delivery orders are issued against DLA Energy indefinite delivery contracts with no set-aside designation, reflecting the vendor's large-business competitive posture.

The customer concentration is severe. DLA Energy's 3,053 awards at $287 million potential value represent 88% of all dollars in the portfolio, with the remainder scattered across the Department of Veterans Affairs (55 awards, $28.4 million combined), the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (41 awards), Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (9 awards, $1.3 million), and the General Services Administration (8 awards). Awards per year show volatility—232 in 2022, 418 in 2023, 352 in 2024—with 2025 and 2026 data limited to early months (143 and 18 awards respectively in the source snapshot).

Sprague's vehicle position is defined by five master IDCs. The Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE60521D8520 carries 1,180 task orders at $24.1 million combined potential value; SPE60017D8509 holds 1,104 task orders at $9.7 million; SP060014D8528 carries 737 task orders at $7.4 million; SP060011D8519 spans 42 task orders at $59.9 million; and SP060006D8512 includes 71 task orders at $3.1 million. These vehicles all serve DLA Energy fuel procurement. A newer single-award IDC (SPE60425D7501) awarded April 1, 2025, carries a ceiling of $21,955,339.32 through March 31, 2027, and authorizes delivery orders for diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, and biofuels across the Northeast region. A predecessor single-award IDC with DLA Energy, valued at over $3 billion and extending through April 2026, anchors the bulk of recent delivery order activity and appears to be the vehicle referenced in award summaries as the primary contracting mechanism.

Recompete exposure is minimal. Only three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $7.1 million, suggesting stable contract renewals or that most delivery orders have already been executed. The vendor's category concentration reinforces fuel specialization: 3,097 awards fall under Petroleum Refineries NAICS; 945 under Liquid Propellants and Fuels (Petroleum Base) PSC; 2,289 under Fuel Oils PSC; and 56 under Utilities-Gas PSC.

Sprague is a subsidiary or operating entity within the Sprague Resources conglomerate, an established energy products and services company founded in 2001 that supplies traditional and alternative fuels to both government and commercial customers. The firm competes as a large business across all awards with no SBA set-aside certifications or small-business designations in evidence. Its federal revenue model depends almost entirely on DLA Energy delivery-order volume, with a secondary but growing natural gas services contract base serving VA hospitals and federal facilities. No subcontractor or teaming relationships appear in the award record; the vendor operates as a prime contractor exclusively.
