Medical Gases

The Department of the Army Medical Command is soliciting medical gas procurement and management services for the Moncrief Army Health Clinic (MAHC) at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The contractor will be required to provide comprehensive medical gas services including pick-up, refill, and delivery of compressed oxygen, nitrogen, liquid oxygen, and various other medical gases such as lung diffusion gas mixtures, calibration gases, medical air, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and helium. Key requirements include providing on-site liquid nitrogen refills, ensuring 24-hour resupply of full cylinders following scheduled Wednesday deliveries, maintaining strict federal and military standards for cylinder handling and testing, and providing 24/7 emergency services with one-hour acknowledgment and twelve-hour delivery response times. The contract structure includes a base year and four option years spanning from October 2025 to September 2030 with firm-fixed pricing. Electronic quotes must be submitted to Wayne Shavers at wayne.shavers.civ@health.mil by September 23, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with all questions and clarifications directed to the same contact.

The solicitation was amended to change from a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside to an unrestricted procurement, removing the previous 100% WOSB designation while maintaining the NAICS code 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) with a 1,200 employee size standard. The contract includes various line items covering different gas types, cylinder sizes, rental services, emergency delivery fees, and additional services such as cylinder hydrotesting, painting, and stenciling. Services will be performed primarily at two locations: the Moncrief Army Health Clinic and EMS Services, both located in Columbia, SC 29207. The procurement covers a five-year performance period with deliveries scheduled for Wednesdays and requires the contractor to maintain comprehensive quality control documentation including Safety Data Sheets and shipping records. Authorized personnel for service requests include Keith Harris, Gregory Glynn, and Keyatta Mitchell, indicating ongoing operational coordination requirements throughout the contract period.
