Purchase Order 1305M326P0011

Green Lantern, LLC, a woman-owned small business based in Alachua, Florida, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on January 1, 2026, to supply hydrogen gas to the National Weather Service Miami Weather Forecast Office. The contract carries a ceiling value of $131,487.84 and extends through December 31, 2030, with a total small business set-aside designation. The solicitation, issued as Request for Quotation 1305M326Q0007, called for the delivery of approximately 230 cylinders of hydrogen gas annually to support weather balloon launch operations, with deliveries scheduled biweekly during the winter months (November-May) and weekly during summer months (June-October). Green Lantern's pricing submission was selected on an all-or-none basis under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items, with payment terms of Net 30.

Green Lantern brings substantial federal contracting experience to this engagement, having established a robust portfolio with multiple federal agencies including the Department of Defense, Department of Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs. The company holds several significant blanket purchase agreements and indefinite delivery vehicles, including a $7.5 million helium and hydrogen blanket purchase agreement with NOAA, which provides context for its selection on this hydrogen gas contract. The award supersedes the previous incumbent contractor, Talon Veteran Services Incorporated, which had held a five-year contract valued at approximately $104,284.25. Green Lantern's demonstrated capability in providing industrial gases and fuels to diverse federal operations positions it to reliably fulfill the National Weather Service's critical hydrogen supply needs for weather forecasting operations.
