Purchase and Installation of Liquid Oxygen (LOX) Tanks

The U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak intends to award a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract to Airgas USA, LLC for the purchase and installation of two 1,500‑gallon liquid oxygen (LOX) tanks at the Kodiak, AK facility. The award is justified because Airgas has already performed an on‑site survey, assessed installation conditions, and prepared the necessary engineering documentation, eliminating the need for duplicate effort by another vendor. The work involves delivering the cryogenic tanks, site preparation, integration with existing oxygen distribution systems, and ensuring compliance with safety and FAR Part 12 requirements. The remote Alaskan location and specialized nature of the equipment make the sole‑source approach essential to maintain continuity of oxygen storage for the station. • Scope: Supply, deliver, and install two 1,500‑gallon LOX tanks. • Location: USCG Air Station Kodiak, Kodiak, AK 99615. • Vendor: Airgas USA, LLC (pre‑qualified based on prior site work). • Procurement: Sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price under FAR 12.102. • Submission: Interested parties may submit capabilities/qualifications by 11 Sep 2026, 1:00 p.m. AK time (for potential competition). • No oral responses accepted; written submissions only.
