About the company
So-Low Environmental Equipment, Co, a veteran-owned manufacturer headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, supplies ultra-low temperature freezers, laboratory refrigerators, and specialized cold storage equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations, though occasional Total Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides appear in the award record.
So-Low's footprint is anchored on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), where the company holds Federal Supply Schedule contract GS25F5032C—a vehicle carrying 726 task orders worth $505.9 million in combined potential value and driving nearly 92% of the vendor's total federal dollars. The company also operates under a standalone Multiple Award Schedule contract (368 task orders, $6.3 million) and a blanket purchase agreement under the same GSA schedule. Recent representative work includes a $248.2 million purchase order from the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for blood plasma freezers for the USNS MERCY hospital ship (awarded September 2023), a $319.9 million purchase order from the same bureau for additional blood plasma freezers (awarded July 2022), a $59.8 million delivery order from the Plains Area for ultra-low temperature freezers and storage racks (April 2026), and a $33.9 million delivery order from the Coast Guard for laboratory refrigerators and freezers for the Science Department in New London, Connecticut (September 2023). Smaller orders span vaccine refrigerators, under-counter freezers, and laboratory equipment for the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NOAA, the Department of Agriculture, and the Smithsonian Institution.
Customer concentration is broad but tilted toward medical and research institutions. The top five customers by award count (Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, Department of the Army Medical Command, and Veterans Integrated Service Network 21) represent 17% of awards; by potential value, the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery dominates at $1.6 million across 88 awards, followed by CDC ($575 thousand, 31 awards) and USDA Agricultural Research Service ($430 thousand, 43 awards). Across 1,371 prime awards, the vendor serves 178 distinct customer agencies, indicating a diversified customer base despite the Navy's outsized footprint in high-dollar shipboard and emergency-response contracts.
So-Low operates exclusively as a prime contractor — the source records zero subcontract activity — and competes across equipment categories spanning Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (742 awards), Air-Conditioning and Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing (488 awards), and Household Freezer Manufacturing (27 awards), with PSC concentration in Refrigeration Equipment (626 awards) and Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (398 awards). Activity has declined from twenty awards in 2022 to four awards in 2026 year-to-date, though the two largest-dollar orders (the Navy blood plasma freezer contracts totaling $568.2 million combined) fell in 2022–2023. Only $16.5 million of the $551.8 million combined potential value across all awards has been obligated, indicating that most awards remain in future performance or are priced below ceiling. The vendor's SAM registration dates to May 2001, anchoring a 25-year federal history focused on specialized cold-chain equipment for scientific research, medical storage, and defense logistics.
