Ocenco Inc.

Ocenco Inc., doing business as Erie Medical, a for-profit manufacturer of respiratory protection equipment and safety systems headquartered in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, operates as a prime contractor supplying emergency escape breathing devices (EEBDs), self-contained breathing apparatus, and related safety components to federal agencies on a full-and-open basis — 100% of awards are prime contracts with no set-aside designations. The vendor serves 25 distinct customer agencies with a $369.2 million combined potential value across 741 awards, predominantly Navy and Defense Logistics Agency customers on firm fixed-price purchase orders and blanket purchase agreements.

Ocenco's customer concentration centers on the Department of the Navy, which anchors 97% of combined potential value across its portfolio. Naval Supply Systems Command alone accounts for 317 awards valued at $181.8 million, while Naval Sea Systems Command adds 30 awards worth $103.4 million. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment together represent 168 awards but only $8.7 million in combined potential value — a high-frequency, low-dollar order pattern characteristic of maintenance, repair, and overhaul supply chains. GSA Federal Acquisition Service and the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security each hold single awards of $63.4 million and $5.9 million respectively, signaling occasional large-value procurements outside the core Navy-DLA footprint.

Recent activity shows mixed trajectory. Awards per year declined from 17 in 2024 to 10 in 2025 and 7 through August 2026, but dollar value concentration shifted upward — the January 2026 Naval Sea Systems Command BPA (worth $37.08 million through January 2031) replaced an earlier $6.84 million agreement, demonstrating Navy's continued reliance on Ocenco for EEBD supply. The $37.08 million BPA is the largest single vehicle in the portfolio; two indefinite delivery contracts with Naval Supply Systems Command (N0010403AZE01 and N0010498DC813) collectively anchor 322 task orders. Only one award ($5.4 million combined potential value) faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete cliff risk in the near term.

Ocenco's capability portfolio concentrates on mission-critical respiratory and safety equipment: emergency escape breathing devices (M-20.2 units), self-contained breathing apparatus, EEBD trainers, specialized valve-hose assemblies, oxygen adapters, mouthpiece assemblies, and pressure gauges. Representative recent work includes a $1.52 million Naval Sea Systems Command BPA call in September 2025 for 4,075 requalified EEBDs and 30 trainers; a $5.36 million Naval Sea Systems Command BPA call in June 2026 for EEBDs and trainers; a $2.79 million Naval Supply Systems Command sole-source small-business-set-aside definitive contract in July 2024 for 6,000 breathing apparatus units; and a $29.3 million National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration small-business-set-aside purchase order in September 2025 for 60 EEBD units (M-20.2) supporting vessel safety compliance. NAICS 351251 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing) covers 285 awards; PSC Safety and Rescue Equipment dominates 523 awards. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Coast Guard add episodic demand for self-contained self-rescuer (SCSR) units and face shields, but represent low-frequency, low-value calls relative to the Navy footprint.

Ocenco holds two named prime indefinite delivery vehicles. The $37.08 million Naval Sea Systems Command BPA (awarded January 2026, running through January 2031) for EEBDs and trainers is the anchor vehicle; the source notes recent $1.52 million and $5.36 million BPA calls in 2025 and 2026. A $250,000 Defense Logistics Agency Aviation small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contract (awarded September 2022, completed September 2023) for specialized aircraft gaging housings expired but generated call activity through 2024. Ocenco's presence on the GSA Federal Acquisition Service schedule is confirmed by a single $63.4 million award, suggesting vendor registration but not recurring task-order activity on that vehicle.

The vendor maintains a single named subcontract role: a sub-award under National Steel and Shipbuilding Company for T-AO 208 FOA transfer of custody non-spec material (awarded November 2024), representing less than 1% of award volume and signaling rare sub work. Ocenco's subsidiaries include Interspiro Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer of goods specializing in diving equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus, which the source notes has received prior contract awards under small business set-asides but does not appear to hold current prime contracts in the portfolio snapshot.

Ocenco competes full-and-open across the Department of the Navy and Defense Logistics Agency; no recurring 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB designations recur in the prime award footprint. Sole-source and small-business-set-aside awards appear episodically (e.g., the July 2024 Naval Supply Systems Command breathing apparatus definitive contract, the NOAA and DLA purchases designated total small business set-aside), but do not anchor the competitive posture. The vendor's federal presence is built on being the approved sole manufacturer of EEBD equipment for Navy and an established supplier to DLA maintenance supply chains, competing on technical specification and incumbency rather than set-aside status.
