About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $41,147.65 to Airgas USA, LLC for the supply of liquid helium (LHe) in contractor-owned dewars (100 and 250 liter capacity) to support operations at the NIST Boulder campus in Colorado. This bilateral modification deobligates unliquidated balances from the original award in preparation for contract closeout, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025. The contract carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Airgas USA's competitive capability as an established industrial gas supplier. Airgas USA, LLC, headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a foreign-owned subsidiary, has maintained an extensive track record of federal contracting since 2012, serving numerous agencies including the Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and NASA with specialized gas products and services.
This award represents a continuation of NIST's ongoing procurement needs for cryogenic gases essential to scientific research operations. Airgas USA's experience supplying liquid helium and other specialty gases across multiple federal agencies, combined with its recent award of significant indefinite delivery contracts with NASA Kennedy Space Center ($4.1M for helium supply through September 2027) and the Defense Logistics Agency Energy ($877K for aerospace-grade gases through June 2030), demonstrates the contractor's operational capacity and reliability in supporting government mission-critical activities requiring precision gas delivery and specialized handling capabilities.
