The U.S. Office of Naval Research awarded a firm fixed price purchase order valued at $8,642.04 to Concorde Specialty Gases, Inc. for the supply of specialty gases, likely sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) or related products in support of naval research programs. The contract was executed on July 30, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of August 1, 2014, and performance is to be conducted in Eatontown, New Jersey. No set-aside provisions were applied to this award. Concorde Specialty Gases is a leading global supplier of specialty gases for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications, with established experience delivering critical gas supplies to the Department of Defense.

This purchase order represents a continuation of Concorde's established relationship with the Navy's research operations. The vendor has demonstrated capability in delivering specialized gas products and management solutions to multiple defense agencies, including prior work with the Office of Naval Research and extensive contracts with the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces for SF6 gas supply in support of E-3 Sentry aircraft operations. The short performance timeline and modest contract value indicate this was a targeted procurement to meet immediate research support requirements at a naval research facility.
