2_BOM List of Compressed Gases.xlsx

This is a Bill of Materials (BOM) list for compressed gases required by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for its Bethesda, Maryland facilities. The BOM specifies four line items for the first year of performance: liquid nitrogen (LN2) at 112,702 cubic feet in bulk format, carbon dioxide (CO2) in bulk at 620,422 pounds for delivery to bulk systems, a CO2 bulk surcharge also at 620,422 pounds, and monthly rental equipment valued at 48 units on an annual basis. Each item includes a catalog number for procurement tracking and ordering purposes.

The underlying solicitation (NOI-PCA-NCI-26-10776) is a Notice of Intent for bulk liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide refill services covering the period of October 15, 2026, through October 14, 2027. NCI requires uninterrupted delivery and replenishment services to support laboratory and research operations, with liquid nitrogen primarily used for cryogenic storage and preservation of biological materials, and carbon dioxide used for incubators and research equipment. The government indicates the contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, transportation, supplies, and technical support necessary to maintain a reliable and continuous gas supply. The incumbent contractor is Roberts Oxygen Company, Inc., which currently provides these services and possesses familiarity with existing bulk storage systems, delivery procedures, and operational requirements at NCI facilities.
