About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is procuring gas cylinder rental services and replacement cylinders for their National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory's respirator approval testing program. This procurement covers monthly rental fees for specialty gas cylinders over a 12-month period from September 2025 through August 2026, plus the one-time purchase of replacement gas cylinders containing 47 different specialty gases including Acrolein, Ammonia, Carbon Monoxide, Chlorine, Hydrogen Cyanide, and Nitrogen Dioxide. The contract represents a transition from credit card purchases to formal procurement due to increased cylinder inventory and rising costs. The solicitation is structured as a sole source procurement justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) because only one source is reasonably available and economically advantageous. Proposals are due by August 25, 2025, with the notice posted on August 21, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing). Greco Gas Inc. is identified as the incumbent contractor and intended sole source recipient, having been the exclusive supplier of gas cylinders to NIOSH for several years. The estimated contract value is approximately $100,000, covering rental fees for existing cylinders and the supply/replacement of 64 gas cylinders as specified in the detailed requirements table. The contract will support operations at two locations: 626 Cochrans Mills Road in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and 1095 Willowdale Road in Morgantown, West Virginia. Performance will occur primarily in Atlanta, Georgia, with cylinder deliveries required within six months of contract award and monthly billing for accumulated daily rental fees.
Notice text
The National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducts respirator approval testing. As part of the approval process, the laboratory requires many specialty gases. For several years, all gas cylinders have been procured from a single supplier. The single supplier greatly simplifies the purchasing and tracking of the chemicals on hand. For gas cylinders, the contents of the cylinders are purchased, but the cylinders themselves are rented. Renting the cylinders removes the burden of waste disposal and cylinder testing from NIOSH, which also significantly decreases both the work load and cost for NIOSH. Previously, the cost of renting and purchasing gas cylinders was below credit card thresholds. With a recent increase in the number of cylinders on hand, an increase in rental costs, and increases in supply costs, it is now necessary to transition the cylinder fees from a credit card purchase to a PR purchase.
This contract will cover the gas cylinder needs for the NIOSH Respirator Approval Program. The contract shall cover fees associated with cylinder rental for a period of 12 months, covering September 2025 through August 2026. Plus, the contract will cover of one time purchase of replacement gas cylinders, as described elsewhere in this document.
