Vitol Inc.

Vitol Inc., doing business as Vitol New York, is a foreign-owned energy and commodities company headquartered in Houston, Texas that supplies aviation turbine fuel (JA1) to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, with no SBA set-aside designations across its entire federal footprint. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since February 2007 and operates as a subsidiary of Vitol US Holding II CO.

Vitol's federal business is entirely concentrated in petroleum product procurement and distribution for military aviation operations. The vendor holds two primary Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Energy (DLA Energy): contract SPE60723D0104, valued at $24.363 million with performance through March 31, 2027, and contract SPE60720D0042, valued at $18.903 million (extended through September 30, 2024). Under these vehicles, Vitol has received 756 delivery orders from DLA Energy totaling $1.4 billion in combined potential value, with $708.1 million obligated to date. Recent representative awards include a $49,634.33 delivery order (July 25, 2025), a $45,500.82 order (July 24, 2025), and a $44,701.10 order (April 16, 2026), alongside routine replenishment orders ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. All delivery orders employ fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing to accommodate petroleum commodity market volatility, with place of performance exclusively in Houston, Texas.

Customer concentration is absolute: Defense Logistics Agency Energy accounts for 100% of Vitol's recent federal awards (755 of 756) and $1.34 billion of combined potential value. The single outlier is one award classified under petroleum merchant wholesalers, but the operating footprint is aviation fuel supply exclusively. Activity has declined from a peak of 206 awards in 2023 to 163 in 2024 and 126 in 2025, with only three awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date through May—a significant drop that reflects either completion or reduction of active task ordering against the IDIQ vehicles. Vitol carries no subcontractor footprint; 100% of awards are prime contracts under the two DLA Energy IDIQs. The vendor's position on federal contract vehicles is narrow and deep: SPE60720D0042 anchors 289 task orders worth $5.5 million combined, SPE60720D0015 carries 272 task orders worth $3.9 million, and SPE60723D0104 holds 142 task orders worth $2.4 million in the source data, though the actual ceiling values of the IDIQs are substantially higher. Older IDIQ vehicles SPE60218D0483 and SPE60220D0482 account for 25 legacy task orders worth $177.3 million combined, indicating sustained contract relationships over more than a decade. Vitol competes entirely in unrestricted, full-and-open procurements with no socioeconomic set-aside positioning, relying on its global energy trading and logistics expertise and established supplier relationship with DLA Energy to secure and execute delivery orders for the Department of Defense's global petroleum distribution requirements.
