AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Commerce, through NOAA’s Eastern Acquisition Division, plans to award a sole source purchase order to AirGas USA LLC for custom stainless steel enclosures equipped with specialized components needed for the Upper Air Program at the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, Missouri. This procurement is justified under FAR 6.103-1, as AirGas is the only source capable of delivering fully assembled regulator box enclosures with the exact custom modifications required to ensure immediate field deployment. The design enables a rapid replacement strategy: when a unit fails in the field, a fully functional replacement is dispatched from the logistics center, while the faulty unit is returned for centralized repair, eliminating time-consuming on-site disassembly and component sourcing. The enclosures are critical for maintaining operational continuity at remote monitoring sites, significantly reducing downtime by bypassing the traditional cycle of returning, repairing, and reshipping units. AirGas USA LLC is the sole authorized provider of these customized enclosures, with no other resellers or partners able to meet the technical requirements. The solicitation, identified as 142082-26-0228, was posted on June 11, 2026, with responses due by June 26, 2026. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325120, and the point of contact for inquiries is Nikki Smith of NOAA, reachable via phone or email provided in the solicitation details. The place of performance is designated as Grandview, Missouri, with the contracting office headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia.

Full Description
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Acquisition Division – Kansas City office intends to award, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 6.103- 1, with AirGas USA LLC a purchase order for the AirGas Stainless Steel Enclosure with required custom components for the National Logistics Support Center in Grandview, MO.
The Government has utilized the authority under the RFO 6.103-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, to award a purchase order to AirGas USA LLC. The sole source determination is based on obtaining the gas regulator boxes with custom add-ins for the Upper Air Program that will allow one fully assembled regulator box enclosure to be kept ready for immediate deployment to the field as needed. When components fail in the field, the affected site would requisition a fully operational replacement box from NLSC, while the defective box would be shipped to NRC for repair. This method also provides a more efficient approach to addressing component failures, as it eliminates the need for site personnel to spend time extracting failed parts from the regulator box and attempting to source suitable replacement components. This will minimize downtime of sites while waiting for a fully functional Gas Regulator Box to be shipped instead of shipping the enclosure back to NSLC, have NLSC repair it and then ship it back to the site.
The award will be made directly to AirGas USA LLC and there no other authorized partners or resellers who can provide the AirGas enclosures with required custom components.
