Mesa International Technologies Inc.

Mesa International Technologies Inc., operating as Mesa Specialty Gases Division or Mesa International, is a for-profit manufacturer and supplier of specialty gases, compressed gas cylinders, calibration gases, and gas handling equipment. Based in Santa Ana, California, the company has been registered as a federal contractor since 2004 and specializes in providing high-purity gas products and precision equipment to Department of Defense entities, civilian research agencies, and other federal government organizations. Mesa International is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and qualifies as a small business, positioning it to compete for set-aside contracts while maintaining its capacity to serve major federal procurement requirements across multiple agencies.

Mesa International's federal contract award history demonstrates substantial expertise in supplying compressed gas cylinders and specialty gases to diverse federal agencies. The company has received numerous purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Construction and Equipment division for air diving cylinders, with contract values ranging from $1,270 to $51,615, indicating consistent demand for this product line across military operations. Naval Sea Systems Command has awarded the company contracts for calibration gases, particularly hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nitrogen, empty cylinders, and other specialized products, with values ranging from $600 to $13,630. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has procured high-purity nitrogen gas and 30-liter aluminum cylinders from Mesa International for atmospheric composition research. US Pacific Fleet Forces has awarded multiple purchase orders for oxygen cylinders, calibration gases, and specialized gas products. The company has received both set-aside contracts designated for small business participation and open-competition awards, demonstrating its competitiveness across procurement categories. Additionally, Mesa International served as a subcontractor to Triad National Security, LLC, providing high-purity propane at the item level in June 2022, expanding its role beyond prime contractor status.

Mesa International holds a significant Blanket Purchase Agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration valued at $250,000, effective from July 27, 2023 through July 27, 2028. This sole-source BPA was established for the procurement and delivery of Luxfer aluminum cylinders to support NOAA's Global Monitoring Laboratory and its critical atmospheric composition research initiatives. NOAA determined that Mesa International was the sole vendor capable of providing these specialized cylinders following industry consolidation, as the previous supplier, Linde Gas and Equipment, discontinued Luxfer cylinder offerings. The BPA structure ensures consistency of scientific data by utilizing the same equipment specifications previously employed in NOAA's research operations. This contract vehicle represents Mesa International's strategic importance to federal scientific research and demonstrates the agency's confidence in the company's ability to provide precision equipment essential to long-term atmospheric monitoring programs.

MESA Specialty Gases & Equipment is a manufacturer of calibration gas standards and related equipment used in a wide variety of instrument calibration applications.
