About the company
Essex Industries, Inc. Cryogenics Department Division manufactures specialized liquid oxygen converters, tanks, safety relief valves, tube assemblies, and related cryogenic systems for federal defense logistics as a prime contractor, with 100% of recent awards issued as prime contracts and no material subcontract footprint. The division operates from Affton, Missouri, as a subsidiary of Essex Industries Inc., headquartered in Maplewood, Missouri.
The Cryogenics Department competes predominantly in full-and-open (unrestricted) contracting, though some work flows through Total Small Business set-aside vehicles. Recent representative prime awards include a $1.51 billion delivery order from Defense Logistics Agency District Washington for depot-level life-cycle support maintenance of nitrogen-pressurized transfer liquid oxygen systems (ultimate completion May 31, 2026), a $675.3 million delivery order from Air Force Sustainment Center for remanufacture of liquid oxygen tanks (completion January 20, 2027), a $371.5 million purchase order from DLA Aviation for 465 converter valves under Total Small Business set-aside (completion December 10, 2026), and a $221.4 million purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command for liquid oxygen converters supporting A-10, F-15, and F-16 aircraft (completion January 29, 2027). Work supports liquid oxygen life-support equipment for fighter and transport platforms as well as emergency breathing systems across multiple defense logistics applications.
Customer concentration centers on DLA, which accounts for over 84% of recent awards by count. The top five funding agencies dominate the portfolio: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (1,515 awards, $73.3 million combined potential value), Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (1,197 awards, $40.8 million), Department of the Air Force (735 awards, $15.3 million), DLA Troop Support Medical (123 awards, $113.9 million), and DLA regional offices (206 awards, $1.2 million). By dollar value, DLA Troop Support Medical leads with $113.9 million across 123 awards—a portfolio anchored by large medical equipment and life-support contracts—followed by DLA Aviation at $73.3 million and Air Force Sustainment Center at $53.8 million. The divergence between award count and dollars reflects high-dollar, lower-frequency work in medical logistics alongside the routine, smaller-value cryogenic component procurements that dominate by volume.
Essex Industries holds five active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts: a $2 million Total Small Business IDC with DLA Aviation and Land and Maritime (performance through June 12, 2027) for parts kits, overhaul equipment, converters, and related cryogenic assemblies; a $350 thousand Total Small Business IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for bail handle hardware (July 14, 2027); a $350 thousand Total Small Business IDC with Federal Aviation Administration Defense for cryogenic assemblies and converters (May 10, 2029); a $250 thousand IDC with DLA Land and Maritime for synchronization clamps with no set-aside (October 6, 2026); and a $250 thousand Total Small Business IDC with DLA Aviation for cam return springs (August 27, 2029). Earlier vehicles include $250 thousand IDCs for protective dust caps (DLA Land and Maritime, March 5, 2026) and bail handles (DLA Land and Maritime, July 30, 2025). Task orders against these vehicles fund the bulk of routine component procurement.
Activity has remained relatively flat year over year—190 awards in 2024 to 174 in 2025, with 60 awards recorded through August 2026. Thirty awards (combined potential value $4.4 million) complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting moderate recompete exposure. The division operates with negligible subcontract footprint; one sub-award (V2X Aerospace LLC, E-6B Contractor Logistics Support) appears in the source record but does not materially characterize the business model. Combined potential value across all 4,515 awards (prime and sub) stands at $454.9 million; obligated dollars total $329 million (72% of potential).
Capability profile centers on aircraft air conditioning, heating, and pressurizing equipment (1,780 awards), pipe and tubing (706 awards), nonpowered valves (612 awards), and gas-generating systems (502 awards). NAICS concentration reflects Aircraft Manufacturing (783 awards), Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (597 awards), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (575 awards). The division manufactures components on firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders, supporting logistics, sustainment, and overhaul missions across Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard inventory.
