About Tri-State Aero, LLC
Tri-State Aero, LLC, a small-business limited liability company based in Evansville, Indiana, supplies Joint Aircraft Authorities-compliant aviation turbine fuel to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis under Defense Logistics Agency Energy single-award indefinite delivery contracts.
Tri-State Aero operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontractors, delivering aviation fuel to DLA Energy facilities across 15 Midwestern and Western states in support of the agency's Domestic Into-Plane program. The vendor's portfolio centers narrowly on petroleum fuel supply: across 1,731 recent awards spanning 1983 to April 2026, Tri-State Aero has drawn $9.6 million in combined potential value and $6.4 million in obligated dollars, with 1,710 awards classified under NAICS 491710 (Petroleum Refineries) and all 1,731 orders under PSC 4571500881 (Liquid Propellants and Fuels, Petroleum Base). Representative work includes a $10,101.76 delivery order under IDC SPE60725D0005 on June 30, 2025; a $5,327.30 delivery order under the same vehicle on December 4, 2025; and a $5,239.27 delivery order under prior IDC SPE60721D0016 on February 24, 2025. Individual task orders typically range from a few hundred dollars to $10,000 per award.
Customer concentration is monolithic: DLA Energy accounts for 1,712 of 1,731 awards ($9.6 million combined potential value) representing 100% of recorded transactional volume. The Defense Logistics Agency's second customer slot carries only 13 awards and no stated dollar magnitude. Activity has declined from a five-year peak of 191 awards in 2023 to 40 awards in 2026 year-to-date through April 14, reflecting the vendor's dependence on a narrow federal fuel-supply footprint.
Tri-State Aero holds seats on four active DLA Energy single-award indefinite delivery contracts: IDC SPE60721D0016 (709 task orders, $883 thousand combined potential value, completion March 31, 2025), IDC SPE60016D0049 (591 task orders, $681 thousand), IDC SP060012D0080 (245 task orders, $1.3 million), and IDC SPE60725D0005 (161 task orders, $185 thousand, completion September 30, 2028). The vendor competes under no GWACs, agency-wide IDIQs, or BPAs beyond the DLA Energy vehicles. All work is performed in-house at the Evansville headquarters with no identified subcontractors. Tri-State Aero registered in SAM in August 2001 and has held uninterrupted DLA Energy fuel contracts since that time, establishing it as an embedded supplier within DoD logistics but with minimal diversification across agencies, geographies, or product lines.
