Tayrona Investments LLC

Tayrona Investments LLC, doing business as Tayrona, is a West Palm Beach, Florida-based HUBZone-certified, veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small business that supplies petroleum products — diesel fuel, automotive gasoline, aviation turbine fuel, biodiesel, ethanol, and lubricating oils — to the Defense Logistics Agency Energy as a prime contractor under a portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts.

Tayrona is a limited liability company and minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business with active SBA certifications as a HUBZone firm (expires May 22, 2027), veteran-owned small business (VOSB, expires May 22, 2027), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB, expires May 22, 2027). The vendor also holds SBA 8(a) Program Participant status (expires January 12, 2027) and is DOT-certified as a disadvantaged business enterprise. Tayrona competes almost exclusively under set-asides — primarily Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business designations — across its federal footprint.

DLA Energy is Tayrona's sole meaningful customer, accounting for 2,873 of 2,924 total awards (99% of award count) and $239.1 million of $241.2 million combined potential value. The remaining 23 distinct customer agencies served (Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Army, Department of the Interior, and Federal Emergency Management Agency) collectively represent less than 1% of award volume and dollars. Recent award activity shows sustained growth: 188 awards in 2022 to 510 in 2025, with 284 awards year-to-date in 2026 as of mid-April. Combined potential value sits at $241.2 million with $54.7 million obligated to date (23% burn rate).

Tayrona holds five active DLA Energy IDIQs, each designated as total small business set-asides: the Post Camps and Stations Purchase Program (SPE60524R0211, $33.89 million ceiling, effective through October 31, 2029), a lubricants contract (SPE60225D0757, $2.076 million ceiling, effective through April 21, 2027), and three additional regional or commodity-specific vehicles (SPE60520D8527, SPE60524D4517, SPE60521D1255). These vehicles collectively support fuel and lubricant procurement for Department of Defense and federal civilian agency installations across Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Florida, Puerto Rico, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Tayrona's work is characterized by discrete delivery orders and purchase orders — typically $1,000 to $635,000 per transaction — issued on fixed-price terms with economic price adjustment provisions to manage fuel market volatility. Place of performance is consistently West Palm Beach, Florida 33409 or subordinate military installation locations.

Representative work includes a $498,911.64 diesel fuel delivery order (April 2, 2026), a $635,814.30 diesel order (March 4, 2026), a $162,652.61 diesel order under partial small business set-aside (February 4, 2026), and a $40.7 million single-award IDIQ awarded November 1, 2025, covering petroleum fuel products for Posts, Camps, and Stations across Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington (SPE60525R0221, ceiling $40.7 million, completion November 1, 2028). The DLA Energy Post Camps and Stations Purchase Program vehicle alone has generated 395 task orders valued at $9 million (SPE60520D8527), 321 orders at $4.7 million (SPE60524D4517), and 243 orders at $5.3 million (SPE60521D1255) across Tayrona's award portfolio. Between May and October 2025, Tayrona executed over 200 delivery orders from DLA Energy alone, establishing the vendor as a critical fuel supplier within the defense logistics enterprise.

Tayrona's capability footprint is narrowly focused: petroleum products distribution to military installations, measured in concrete terms as fuel delivery (distillates, residuals, and specialty products like biodiesel and ethanol) under fixed-price contracts with economic adjustment mechanisms. The vendor has no subcontractor footprint and does not hold position on government-wide acquisition contracts, schedule vehicles, or GSA offerings. Award concentration at DLA Energy and the set-aside-dominated posture mean Tayrona competes almost entirely in small business set-asides and operates as a pure prime supplier with no teaming or sub engagement visible in the source material.
