Utility Energy Systems, LLC

Utility Energy Systems, LLC, a small-business limited liability company based in Elk River, Minnesota, provides propane and natural gas infrastructure maintenance, repair, and installation services to federal agencies exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly under total small-business set-asides on purchase orders and definitive contracts.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed to the Department of the Air Force. Air Combat Command accounts for 5 of 9 recent awards and $3.5 million of the $4.2 million combined potential value, anchored by a $3.32 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded July 1, 2022 for Propane Air Mixing Plant (PAMP) maintenance services at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, running through June 30, 2027. Air Force Global Strike Command accounts for one additional award ($15,923 for propane air mixer and vaporizer inspection and calibration at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming). The remaining four awards span the Department of the Interior National Park Service ($207,476 for propane tank replumbing and testing at Yosemite National Park), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons ($390,495 for propane and air backup fuel system replacement at Federal Correctional Institution Waseca in Minnesota), and the General Services Administration ($100,485 for propane vaporizer installation at the Pembina Land Port of Entry in North Dakota). All five customer agencies appear in both the award-count and potential-value rankings without material divergence.

Utility Energy Systems' recent work centers on propane system maintenance, repair, and specialized installation at federal facilities. Representative work includes the $3.32 million multi-year PAMP contract with Air Combat Command at Minot AFB, a $207,476 propane tank replumbing project at Yosemite National Park awarded June 6, 2025, and two dry-cleaning machine repair purchase orders from Air Combat Command in September 2025 ($85,950) and February 2026 ($42,102). The vendor shows sporadic activity — nine awards over the past five years with no set-aside vehicles or IDVs — but high obligation rates (92% of potential value obligated). One award faces recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months: the $3.32 million Minot AFB PAMP contract completing June 30, 2027. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data and no membership on government-wide vehicles.
