Oxy-Gon Industries Inc.

Oxy-Gon Industries Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Epsom, New Hampshire, designs and manufactures specialized high-temperature furnace systems and components for government research and development applications, operating predominantly as a prime contractor (89% of recent awards) on purchase orders without set-aside designation across multiple federal agencies. The company specializes in tungsten and molybdenum furnace hot zones, heating elements, control systems, and field service support for furnaces operating at temperatures up to and above 2,000 degrees Celsius in vacuum and inert-atmosphere environments.

Oxy-Gon's customer footprint centers on defense R&D and civilian research agencies. The top five funding organizations by award count account for 76% of recent awards, with the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (15 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value) and the Office of Naval Research (6 awards, $2.1 million) leading by dollar volume. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (12 awards, $402 thousand) is the highest-volume customer by count; the divergence reflects smaller per-award value at NASA relative to ONR and Army RDC. The Department of the Air Force and the Missile Defense Agency round out the active set. Representative prime work includes a $1.763 million Phase II purchase order from ONR for an HTS furnace (September 2024, completion February 2027), a $69.6 thousand order from NASA's Shared Services Center for a furnace hot zone and cold-rod assembly with tungsten mesh heating element and heat-shield system (July 2025), and a $30.3 thousand firm fixed-price order from NASA for an Oxy-Gon F00201 furnace hot-zone kit including tungsten and molybdenum shields (August 2026). A $149 thousand SBIR Phase I research and development contract from the Missile Defense Agency (August 2024) rounds out the most recent larger awards. The company also holds a $149 thousand Total Small Business set-aside research contract.

Activity has grown to seven awards in 2024 (from two in 2023) but has moderated to two awards in 2025 and two in 2026 to date. One award carries a completion date within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $1.8 million), presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. Primary NAICS concentration sits with Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing (38 of 66 awards), with secondary weight in Research and Development in Physical Engineering and Life Sciences (7 awards). PSC coding reflects laboratory equipment and supplies (16 awards) and industrial furnaces, kilns, and ovens (15 awards).

In its subcontractor role, Oxy-Gon supplies high-temperature furnace systems and components to Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation on multiple awards related to above-2000-degree-Celsius vacuum and hot-hydrogen furnace development, including design of melt fixtures, bellows assembly, heating system retrofits, rigging and transportation support, and transformer installation. The company also performs as a sub to Fluor Marine Propulsion on naval nuclear propulsion program support (January 2026) and to Triad National Security on laboratory equipment supply for the Los Alamos National Laboratory operations competition (April 2025).
