Gas Generating And Dispensing Systems, Fixed Or Mobile

Product Service Code (PSC) 3655 covers Gas Generating and Dispensing Systems, Fixed or Mobile, which encompasses a wide range of specialized equipment used in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. These systems primarily include oxygen generators, nitrogen systems, cryogenic equipment, air purification systems, and related components. The equipment is critical for supporting various military operations, including aircraft maintenance, submarine systems, firefighting, and scientific research.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC 3655 demonstrate a consistent pattern of procurement by defense agencies, particularly the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP). Awards typically range from $2,000 to $800,000, with most contracts being firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders. Frequently awarded entities include Chase Supply, Treadwell Corporation, Essex Industries, and CV International, all of which are small businesses specializing in aerospace and defense equipment. Most awards are unrestricted, though some are set aside for small businesses. The primary places of performance are located in states like Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, and Massachusetts, with delivery destinations often being military bases and naval facilities.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities under PSC 3655 reflect diverse requirements from multiple federal agencies. The U.S. Navy has solicited repairs and modifications for specialized equipment like chlorinators, flow control regulators, and cell monitoring controllers. NASA has issued a pre-solicitation for a complex helium liquefier system supporting space research. Other opportunities include procurements for mobile breathing air recharging systems, nitrogen booster systems, and power generation equipment. These opportunities span various agencies including the Department of Agriculture, Department of State, and Department of Defense, with performance locations ranging from military bases to research facilities in locations like Colombia and various U.S. states.
