Suburban Propane Partners, L.P

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., headquartered in Whippany, New Jersey, is a for-profit propane distribution company operating as a prime contractor across 63 federal customer agencies, delivering bulk and bottled propane, tank maintenance and installation, compressed gas services, and facility-wide propane supply solutions to Department of Defense, Department of the Interior, National Institutes of Health, and civilian federal installations. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint, though two contracts carry Total Small Business designations at award (Mojave National Preserve, Zuni Service Unit Indian Health Service).

Suburban Propane's recent award activity spans 497 prime contracts valued at $101.7 million combined potential value, with 39% obligated. Annual volume has been stable at 13–15 awards per year over the past five years, most recently nine awards in 2026. The vendor holds four major indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $50 million National Institutes of Health Blanket Purchase Agreement (April 2024 through April 2026) for liquefied petroleum gas and related services nationwide; a $2 million National Park Service Pacific West Region indefinite-delivery contract (August 2023 through September 2027) for park-wide propane supply and maintenance at Yosemite National Park; a $1 million Army Materiel Command Blanket Purchase Agreement (January 2026 through January 2031) for on-call propane delivery to Fort Wainwright, Alaska; and a $240,630 National Park Service Intermountain Region indefinite-delivery contract (September 2026 through August 2031) for propane delivery to Grand Teton National Park and John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway in Wyoming. Representative prime work includes a $318,819.59 delivery order from the National Park Service Pacific West Region for park-wide propane and maintenance at Yosemite (August 2026), a $165,750 purchase order from the National Park Service Pacific West Region for propane deliveries to Mojave National Preserve under Total Small Business set-aside (August 2024), a $1.6 million Indian Health Service purchase order for propane refill services at Zuni Service Unit, New Mexico, exercising Option Year Four through July 2027, and multiple Army Sustainment Command BPA calls for bulk propane delivery to Fort Wainwright and Seward, Alaska, ranging from $6,000 to $40,000 per call.

Customer concentration is moderate and dispersed. The Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region leads by potential value at $7.1 million across 23 awards (approximately 7% of portfolio dollars); the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region accounts for $5.6 million across 19 awards; the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution holds $2.4 million across 14 awards. By award count, the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region leads with 77 awards valued at $2 million combined, followed by the National Park Service Intermountain Region with 38 awards at $2 million. The vendor's top parent vehicle is a General Services Administration-administered food service and hospitality supplies agreement (NAICS and PSC unspecified in source) carrying 107 task orders valued at $30.6 million combined potential value; Army Blanket Purchase Agreements W912D015A0004 and W912D020A0007 account for 55 and 26 task orders respectively, primarily for Alaska military installation propane delivery. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal contracts; no subcontract footprint is present in the source.

Award category concentration aligns tightly with Suburban Propane's core business: the top NAICS categories are "All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing" (108 awards), "Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Bottled Gas) Dealers" (96 awards), and "Natural Gas Liquid Extraction" (66 awards). The top PSC code is "Gases: Compressed And Liquefied" (259 awards), followed by "Liquid Propellants And Fuels, Petroleum Base" (81 awards). The eight recompete events reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $2.3 million, representing limited near-term recompete exposure. Suburban Propane holds no named SBA certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB) in the source; the vendor's competitive posture is consistent full-and-open market participation.
