About this award

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $1.6 million firm fixed-price purchase order contract to Norco Inc. on May 1, 2024, for the supply of liquid and compressed specialty gases to Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2029, requires Norco to provide bulk liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide tanks ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 gallons, weekly liquid nitrogen gas pack refills and cylinder exchanges, biweekly bulk deliveries with 24-hour emergency response capability, and online tank monitoring with one-hour emergency response availability. The base contract period runs from April 2024 through January 2025, with four one-year option periods, and the award included the exercise of Option Period 2 (February 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027). The contract was not set aside for small business at the time of award, though the original solicitation was posted as a total small business set-aside opportunity in January 2024.

Norco Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Boise, Idaho, is an established federal contractor specializing in industrial, medical, and laboratory gases with over $31 million in cumulative prime contract awards. The company has significant experience serving NIAID and other federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Defense. Norco's demonstrated expertise in supplying specialized gases and equipment to research facilities, combined with its ability to maintain bulk tank monitoring systems and provide rapid emergency response, positions it well to support NIAID's critical research operations at Rocky Mountain Laboratories.
