Portable Oxygen Generator System (POGS) — Prototype

The U.S. Army is soliciting prototype proposals for a Portable Oxygen Generator System (POGS) under Other Transaction (OT) Agreement authority, with the goal of delivering two ruggedized, self-contained units capable of producing medical-grade oxygen at 30 liters per minute with 93% ± 3% USP purity in austere, forward-deployed environments. The system must operate on automatic voltage detection for both CONUS and OCONUS power standards, weigh no more than 350 pounds, and be based on Pressure Swing Adsorption or equivalent technology. It must be packaged in MIL-STD-810H-compliant hardcases with protective foam, ruggedized wheels, and adjustable handles, and each unit must be marked with a permanent 2D Data Matrix IUID compliant with DFARS 252.211-7003 and registered in the DoD IUID Registry. Proposals must address Critical Operational Device Specifications and Critical Logistical Specifications, with compliance being a mandatory pass/fail gate. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, comply with the Trade Agreements Act, and submit a complete Trade Agreements Certificate as Attachment A. The effort is classified as UNCLASSIFIED//CUI, requiring NIST SP 800-171 compliance for data handling, but no security clearances are needed for proposal submission. FDA 510(k) clearance or Class I registration must be achieved within 12 to 24 months of award, with current clearance providing a more favorable evaluation. The agreement period is 12 months from award, with prototype delivery required between 120 and 180 days after award and formal government testing scheduled following delivery. Evaluation will be based on a comparative methodology weighing Technical Approach (30%), Cost/Price (35%), Reliability and Supportability (15%), Schedule Realism (10%), and Past Performance (10%); neither LPTA nor FAR Part 15 procedures apply. Offerors must submit four bound PDF volumes with strict page limits, a Cost Proposal using Attachment E’s template, and a proposed milestone-based payment schedule. All travel and training for two operator sessions must be included in the firm fixed price. Proposals are due by July 24, 2026, to Kristin Anderson and Roxanne Dalrymple via DoD SAFE or email, with amendments such as the July 7, 2026 update adjusting the
