Ocenco Inc.

Ocenco Inc., doing business as Erie Medical, a for-profit manufacturer of respiratory protection equipment and specialized safety systems headquartered in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal purchases and indefinite delivery vehicles, with 735 of 736 recent awards (100%) in the prime role and no set-aside designations across its dominant customer relationships. The company manufactures emergency escape breathing devices (EEBDs), self-contained breathing apparatus, face shields, and related respiratory safety components, serving 25 federal agencies primarily through small-dollar purchase orders and blanket purchase agreement calls rather than large competitive procurements.

Ocenco's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Navy. Naval Supply Systems Command anchors the portfolio with 316 awards valued at $181.7 million combined potential value—55% of the vendor's entire $326.3 million federal footprint. Naval Sea Systems Command adds 29 awards worth $60.9 million, predominantly for EEBD procurement and trainers. A single $63.4 million GSA Federal Acquisition Service award (likely a schedule contract) rounds out the top three by potential value, but the Department of Defense ecosystem dominates across both award count and dollars: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation recorded 90 awards ($3.8 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment 76 awards ($4.6 million). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Pittsburgh) appears as a recurring civilian customer with 29 awards ($2.1 million) for self-contained self-rescuer (SCSR) supplies. Recent named work includes a $1.52 million September 2024 Naval Sea Systems Command BPA call for 4,075 requalified EEBDs and 30 trainers; a $1.08 million July 2025 Naval Supply Systems Command definitive contract for breathing apparatus; a $2.79 million July 2024 Naval Supply Systems Command small-business-set-aside definitive contract for 6,000 breathing apparatus units; a $29.3 thousand September 2025 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration purchase order for 60 EEBD units; and a $101.3 thousand January 2025 Coast Guard purchase order for EEBDs supporting the Coast Guard Cutter Stratton.

Vehicle positioning reflects Ocenco's role as a supply-chain vendor on standing Navy agreements. The company places task orders under two dominant Navy IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract N0010403AZE01 carries 205 task orders, and Indefinite Delivery Contract N0010498DC813 carries 117 task orders. The vendor holds a current $37.08 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command running through January 2031 for EEBDs and trainers (awarded January 2026, replacing an earlier $6.84 million BPA). A GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0250K vehicle generated 53 task orders worth $8.8 million. The vendor also held a $250 thousand small-business-set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Aviation for specialized aircraft gaging housings, though that vehicle's ultimate completion date was September 2023 and is now expired. The two Navy IDCs represent the core ordering vehicles; task orders flow through them as ongoing replenishment procurements rather than discrete competitions.

Activity has remained modest in recent years, averaging 10.4 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026) with a slight downward trajectory: eight awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023, seventeen in 2024, ten in 2025, and two in 2026 (source date is mid-July). Combined dollars obligated total $206.7 million against a potential value of $326.3 million, indicating 63% of the awarded ceiling has been drawn down. Recompete exposure and near-term completion dates are not called out in the vendor award portfolio, but the recent January 2026 replacement of the prior Navy EEBD BPA with a new five-year agreement through January 2031 signals continuity of the core Navy relationship with a vehicle refresh.

Ocenco's subsidiary, Interspiro Inc., is identified as a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer of goods in the corporate structure, suggesting specialized diving and respiratory equipment capabilities, though award history in the source does not distinguish between work performed by the parent and subsidiary. A single sub-award (November 2024) shows Ocenco as a subcontractor to National Steel and Shipbuilding Company on a T-AO 208 FOA Transfer of Custody nonspecific-material sub-award; sub-contracting remains negligible in Ocenco's profile.

Capability framing centers on Navy and DLA supply-chain commodities. Primary NAICS codes reflect this: Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing (285 awards), followed by Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (59 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing (62 awards). The top PSC category is Safety and Rescue Equipment (519 awards), with secondary categories including Aircraft Air Conditioning, Heating, and Pressurizing Equipment (64 awards) and Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment (36 awards). Ocenco competes full-and-open on standing IDIQs and through GSA Schedule, with no reliance on set-aside categories except for one expired $250 thousand small-business-set-aside IDC with DLA Aviation and one small-business-set-aside definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command in the recent award history. The vendor's posture is that of an approved supplier on Navy and DLA standing agreements, receiving task orders and purchase orders for replenishment of mission-critical respiratory and safety equipment for maritime and defense personnel.
