About the company
Arcet Equipment Co Arc3 Gases Division, doing business as Arcet, supplies industrial gases (primarily liquid nitrogen), welding consumables, and related equipment to the Department of the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency as a small business prime contractor on a full-and-open basis, with 410 awards across twenty-five federal agencies since 2003. The company operates as a child entity of Arc3 Gases, Inc., a multi-generation family-owned manufacturer and industrial gas supplier headquartered in Dunn, North Carolina, with operations centered in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia.
Arcet's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in a narrow customer base and capability set. The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for 281 awards (68% of the prime portfolio) valued at $1.7 million combined potential value, reflecting a core mission to supply liquid nitrogen, welding electrodes, weld wire, and miscellaneous equipment to Norfolk Naval Base and Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Representative recent work includes firm fixed-price purchase orders for $23,750 in liquid nitrogen services (NAVSEA, November 2023, Total Small Business set-aside), $18,800 in liquid nitrogen and service (NAVSEA, January 2023, Total Small Business set-aside), $14,550 in weld wire and welding electrode (NAVSEA, February 2022, Total Small Business set-aside), and $13,493.20 in welding electrodes (NAVSEA, February 2022, Total Small Business set-aside). The Defense Logistics Agency Energy holds 46 awards valued at $360 thousand combined potential value, anchored by a single-award indefinite delivery contract awarded October 1, 2024, with a $124,370 ceiling running through September 30, 2029 for liquid nitrogen delivery to Norfolk Naval Base and Norfolk Naval Shipyard at estimated annual volumes of 20,000 gallons and 15,000 gallons respectively. The Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command represents an outlier in dollar concentration — one award valued at $1 million combined potential value — suggesting a larger occasional procurement outside Arcet's recurring transactional pattern with NAVSEA.
Arcet's capability portfolio centers on industrial gas manufacturing (174 awards under NAICS 325120) and welding and soldering equipment manufacturing (140 awards). Top PSC categories are Gases: Compressed and Liquefied (117 awards), Miscellaneous Welding, Soldering, and Brazing Supplies and Accessories (93 awards), and Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment — Chemicals and Chemical Products (37 awards). Award activity has fluctuated: eleven awards in 2022, sixteen in 2023, seven in 2024, two in 2025, and ten in 2026 through mid-July. Three indefinite delivery contracts serve as parent vehicles: IDC SPE60117D1557 (30 task orders, $40 thousand combined potential value), IDC N0018906A0074 (17 task orders, $143 thousand combined potential value), and IDC SPE60124D1522 (12 task orders, $103 thousand combined potential value). Combined obligated value across all awards stands at $3.5 million against a combined potential value of $3.6 million, indicating consistent delivery and invoicing at bid levels. Arcet competes on a full-and-open basis; most recent NAVSEA awards carry no set-aside designation, though earlier purchase orders from 2021 through 2023 were issued under Total Small Business set-asides. The company holds no federal contract IDV vehicles itself and reports no subcontracting activity.
