O2N2 producer inspection and servicing

The Department of the Navy Military Sealift Command is soliciting bids for annual inspection, servicing, and operational testing of ship O2N2 (oxygen-nitrogen) producers, along with pressurization and leak testing of the oxygen distribution system. The solicitation number N3220526Q7121 requires contractors to provide all labor, materials, special equipment, and services including coordination with ship's force for lockout/tagout procedures, condition assessment reporting, and detailed documentation of relief valve settings, pressure gauge calibration, and system performance metrics. This is a women-owned small business (WOSB) procurement using a Firm Fixed Price arrangement, with offerors required to submit complete breakdowns of labor hours, labor rates, travel costs, and materials. The solicitation was posted on April 9, 2026, with proposals due on April 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM local time. Inspection and acceptance will occur at both the contractor's facility and at MSC Program Management Centralized and Support Staff Norfolk. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses addressing service contract labor standards, buy American requirements, cybersecurity, and payment procedures via Wide Area Workflow.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation beyond the WOSB requirement. Supporting documentation indicates that Cold LLC, identified as the sole authorized distributor for Ingersoll Rand (the original equipment manufacturer), is the intended contractor based on exclusive licensing agreements, though the solicitation allows for competitive bidding.
