About American Welding & Gas Inc.
American Welding & Gas Inc., a for-profit manufacturer and distributor of industrial and specialty gases headquartered in Billings, Montana, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) supplying compressed and liquefied gases, medical oxygen, welding equipment, and related hardware to federal agencies on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The company has been registered in SAM since December 2007 and owns a subsidiary, Scott-Gross Company, Inc., also a manufacturer of goods.
American Welding & Gas Inc. competes across a fragmented customer base with minimal concentration. The top five funding agencies account for 75% of recent awards by count but only represent roughly one-third of combined potential value, reflecting a high-volume, low-dollar-per-order footprint. The Indian Health Service leads by both count (44 awards, $991 thousand combined potential value) and dollar value, followed by the Forest Service Job Corps ($921 thousand across 6 awards) and the Veterans Health Administration VISN 23 ($422 thousand across 16 awards). The Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Correctional Institution Ashland, Naval Sea Systems Command, and TACOM Life Cycle Management Command round out the active customer set. The company's capability mix reflects industrial gas supply: 58 awards across compressed and liquefied gases (PSC code primary), 13 across medical and surgical supplies, and smaller volumes of laboratory equipment and welding apparatus. Representative work includes a $117,945.50 Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order (August 2024) for initial filling and storage of government-owned ultra-high-purity nitrogen and argon cylinders (228,000 cubic feet across three fill cycles, performance in Indianapolis and Camp Atterbury, Indiana), a $95,369.86 Army Research, Development and Engineering Command award (August 2024) for argon tank supply in Billings, a $62,505 TACOM order (July 2025) for a plasma cutting system, and recurring Drug Enforcement Administration purchase orders for liquid nitrogen compressor gases and welding gases (four awards totaling roughly $135 thousand across 2023–2026).
American Welding & Gas Inc. places task orders under five named vehicles: a Health and Human Services Indian Health Service BPA (15 task orders, $180 thousand), another HHS IHS BPA (12 task orders, $56 thousand), and three General Services Administration IDICs (11 combined task orders, $231 thousand). Activity has been flat to declining — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, four in 2025, and one through mid-2026 — with only $49 thousand in combined potential value facing recompete in the next twenty-four months. The company has no subcontract footprint and operates as a pure prime across all 100 recent awards, with combined potential value of $3.3 million and obligated dollars of $2.3 million (68% of ceiling value).
