DLA Energy PEC

DLA Energy PEC serves as a specialized procurement lead within the Defense Logistics Agency’s energy division, responsible for managing complex energy-related acquisitions to support Department of Defense operational readiness. This role oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for fuel, energy infrastructure, and related logistical services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical energy security requirements. The position is central to sustaining military installations, forward-deployed units, and strategic energy reserves through timely and efficient contracting actions. DLA Energy PEC maintains a broad network of contractor relationships across the energy sector, primarily engaging with large-scale fuel suppliers, petroleum logistics providers, and energy infrastructure contractors. While no single vendor dominates the portfolio, the contracting pattern reflects consistent engagement with firms possessing DOE-compliant fuel handling capabilities, bulk transportation expertise, and refined petroleum distribution networks. Vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term performance-based agreements, with emphasis on reliability, regulatory compliance, and supply chain resilience under austere conditions. The procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 70% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting the scale and technical specificity of energy requirements. However, a robust 30% of awards are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses capable of meeting stringent energy delivery standards. This balance supports both mission necessity and socioeconomic objectives without compromising operational readiness. The primary technical focus is on NAICS 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), accounting for 85% of activity, indicating deep specialization in refined petroleum products, fuel quality assurance, and bulk storage logistics. The remaining 15% involves NAICS 333249, reflecting procurement of specialized energy equipment and maintenance services. DLA Energy PEC’s expertise lies in managing high-volume, mission-critical energy supply chains requiring strict adherence to military specifications and environmental compliance standards.
