Decon+ Minidox-M CD Gas Generator

The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service awarded contract 126395260237 to Allentown LLC for $160,000 on August 19, 2026, for two Minidox-M chlorine dioxide gas generators.

The award was made as a sole-source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, with no set-aside used. Place of performance is the USDA APHIS VS NVS Warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri; contracting activity is managed by the Minneapolis Procurement Branch. The generators support the National Centers for Animal Health (NCAH) Safety and Security unit's decontamination of over 430 HEPA filters annually and enable whole-room decontamination and laboratory equipment decontamination to maintain BSL-3, ABSL-3, and ABSL-3 Ag laboratory certifications required for research involving high-consequence agricultural pathogens including Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, African Swine Fever Virus, and Brucella species. Competition was restricted because Allentown is the original equipment manufacturer and sole distributor of the proprietary software required for safe operation; market research spanning 16 years found no comparable alternatives, and NCAH has used these generators for over a decade with campus infrastructure modifications specific to Minidox-M equipment.
