Cold LLC

Cold LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business, manufactures and supplies precision components and engineering services for U.S. Navy oxygen and nitrogen systems, aerospace equipment, and military logistics as a prime contractor on purchase orders and delivery orders from the Department of Defense. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, though a minority of awards carry Total Small Business set-aside marks.

Cold LLC is a for-profit limited liability company based in Milford, Connecticut, registered with the federal government since 2013. The vendor manufactures gaskets, valves, seals, actuators, indicators, filters, and related pressure and flow control components across primary NAICS 326291 (Gasket, Packing, and Sealing Device Manufacturing) and 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), with secondary capabilities in engineering and technical services. The company holds a $0 sole source basic ordering agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command awarded in June 2022 and valid through June 2027, which serves as its anchor vehicle for O2N2 (oxygen and nitrogen) system refurbishment and repair parts across the Navy's surface ships and submarines.

Concrete capability work reflects a narrow but deep specialization in naval ship maintenance and aerospace support systems. Representative examples include $51,450 in O2N2 refurbishment services delivered to USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) under the NAVSEA BOA, $110,945 for O2N2 refurbishment aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 73) under Naval Air Systems Command, $50,144 for engineering and technical services on USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) for SCD 27301 and O2N2 system repairs, and $31,798 for GEECO forward low-pressure producer repairs aboard USS George Washington (CVN 73). Cold LLC also supplies high-volume, lower-dollar component purchases—gaskets, valves, indicators, actuators, filters, and packing assemblies—through the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime and Aviation divisions, with individual purchase orders typically ranging from under $1,000 to $30,000.

Customer concentration is extreme. The top five funding agencies account for 91 percent of awards by count. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime division dominates the portfolio with 282 awards valued at $2 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Aviation (65 awards, $841 thousand), DLA Troop Support Hardware (55 awards, $97 thousand), Naval Sea Systems Command (21 awards, $2.4 million), and Military Sealift Command (12 awards, $1 million). By dollar value, Naval Sea Systems Command ranks first at $2.4 million across 21 awards, reflecting the anchor BOA and the higher-value task orders it generates; DLA Land and Maritime ranks second at $2 million despite volume dominance, because its awards skew toward smaller component purchases. The vendor also serves Naval Supply Systems Command ($1.5 million, 5 awards), Naval Air Systems Command, U.S. Fleet Forces Command, Chief of Naval Personnel, Construction and Equipment divisions, and the Department of the Navy Aviation segment.

Cold LLC operates almost exclusively under two parent vehicles: the NAVSEA Basic Ordering Agreement N6449822G4005 (21 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract N6449819D4032 (1 task order). The BOA is the critical vehicle; task orders under it have historically ranged from $2,940 to over $557,000 and cover O2N2 plant repairs, technical shipboard assistance, and specialized parts procurement performed at multiple locations including Milford, Philadelphia, Bremerton, Newport News, Honolulu, and Portsmouth.

Activity has grown year over year from 34 awards in 2022 to 73 in 2024, with 58 in 2025 and 14 recorded through April 2026 (the source date). Ten awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.1 million and face recompete exposure. The vendor is positioned primarily as a manufacturer of small-to-medium-value components and as an O2N2 system maintenance specialist. All work is performed in Milford, Connecticut, with some task order services delivered at naval shipyards and repair facilities nationwide. Cold LLC subcontracts minimally; one sub-award appears in the source—a $1.6 million engineering and technical services role under Noblis MSD LLC on a MAC02 contract awarded June 2024. The vendor's footprint is entirely within Department of Defense and Navy logistics and operations, with no work for civilian agencies or other executive departments.
