Ian-Conrad Bergan, LLC

Ian-Conrad Bergan, LLC, doing business as Bergan Tank Control, is a Pensacola, Florida-based for-profit manufacturer and goods producer that supplies specialized marine instrumentation, tank level indicators, pressure transducers, motional transducers, and power distribution panels to the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards). The company competes predominantly full-and-open with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint, though it has received two awards under Total Small Business designations over its portfolio history.

Bergan Tank Control's customer concentration is extreme and highly specialized: the Department of the Navy's Military Sealift Command anchors the business, accounting for 91 awards (53% of the total 170-award portfolio) and $2.6 million of the combined $3.5 million potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation places the second-largest order flow at 32 awards and $330 thousand, followed at distance by the U.S. Coast Guard (7 awards, $193 thousand), Naval Supply Systems Command (13 awards, $75 thousand), and Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (7 awards, $62 thousand). These five customers account for 88% of awards and 96% of combined potential value. The two rankings align tightly, with MSC driving both volume and dollars by a commanding margin.

Concrete capability work spans tank level indicators, transducers, and monitoring systems for government-owned and chartered vessels. Representative prime awards include a $128,944 firm fixed-price order from the U.S. Coast Guard in November 2024 for tank level indicator monitor upgrades aboard the CGC HEALY; a $72,740 Military Sealift Command procurement in September 2022 for tank level indicator materials aboard the USNS JOHN L CANLEY; a $71,172 MSC award in September 2023 for pneumatic controller parts for an Expeditionary Sea Base vessel; and dozens of sub-$35,000 individual component orders (motional transducers, pressure transducers, power distribution panels, indicating panels) flowing primarily through DLA Aviation and MSC. Performance takes place in Pensacola, Florida, with deliveries to government warehouses and ship-based locations.

The company's NAICS footprint centers on instruments and related products manufacturing (53 awards), other measuring and controlling device manufacturing (53 awards), commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair and maintenance (20 awards), and ship building and repairing (17 awards). PSC coding emphasizes miscellaneous ship and marine equipment (55 awards) and combination and miscellaneous instruments (31 awards).

Activity volume has been steady but unspectacular—15 awards in 2022, 18 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 14 in 2025, and 2 to date in 2026. The combined dollars obligated ($5.8 million) exceed the combined potential value ($3.5 million) at 165% because many small purchase orders have been invoiced in full. The recompete cliff is negligible: only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carries $5 thousand in potential value, indicating minimal near-term contract expiration risk. The vendor's oldest award in the source data traces to April 1998, underscoring its long-standing presence in naval and maritime procurement.

In its subcontractor role, Bergan Tank Control supplies tank level indicators, instrumentation components, and ship provisioned items to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) on six sub-awards related to detail design and construction for T-AO class fleet replenishment oiler vessels. These engagements span 2024 and 2025, with no dollar values disclosed.

Bergan Tank Control's narrow customer base and specialized product portfolio create both competitive strength within maritime instrumentation and vulnerability to MSC budget or vessel maintenance cycles. The vendor does not appear on any government-wide contract vehicles, so all work flows through individual task orders or purchase orders against MSC, DLA, and USCG direct accounts.

Supplied complete TLI solution for MSC vessel (T-AKR) and awarded contract for MSC (T-AKE).
