Kaplan Industries, Inc.

Kaplan Industries, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of industrial and specialty gases headquartered in Harrison, Ohio, has been registered in the System for Award Management since July 2001 and holds a current SAM registration extending through December 2026. As a DOT-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, the company specializes in the manufacture and distribution of compressed gases, including technical oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide. Kaplan Industries serves as a prime contractor to the federal government, providing critical medical and technical gases to support Department of Defense medical logistics and supply chain requirements through an established relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical division.

Kaplan Industries has maintained a substantial federal contracting presence primarily through delivery orders and purchase orders issued under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, established in September 2020 with a ceiling value of $7.3 million and performance extending through September 2025. The company's primary federal deliverables have consisted of technical-grade oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, nitrous oxide USP, and compressed gas cylinders, delivered from its Harrison, Ohio manufacturing facility to support Department of Defense medical programs and facilities. Over the period reflected in the award history, Kaplan Industries received numerous delivery orders valued between $6,973.60 and $420,768.00 for technical oxygen, as well as smaller purchase orders for carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, nitrogen, and compressed cylinders, with award values typically ranging from less than $100 to approximately $180,000 for individual purchase orders. Funding has been provided exclusively by the Defense Logistics Agency Medical Supply Chain division, with the exception of two purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division for compressed gas cylinders. Kaplan Industries has operated exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors on any of its federal awards. Most contracts carried no set-aside designations; however, several purchase orders for nitrous oxide USP were designated under the Total Small Business set-aside program, demonstrating the company's eligibility and participation in small business contracting opportunities.
