About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $116,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Messer LLC (doing business as Messer North America) on October 1, 2025, for liquid helium delivery services at NIST's Boulder, Colorado facility. The contract, which runs through September 30, 2026, requires Messer to supply liquid helium meeting 99.998% purity standards in contractor-owned dewars (100-liter and 250-liter capacity) on a weekly basis with emergency delivery capabilities available. This award represents a child contract under Messer's larger Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) agreement with NASA's Kennedy Space Center valued at $59.6 million, which covers agency-wide liquid and gaseous helium supply to 13 NASA facilities through September 2030. The procurement was not subject to any set-aside designation and was open to all qualified contractors.
Messer LLC, a for-profit industrial gas manufacturer and supplier headquartered in New Jersey, has established itself as a critical federal supplier of specialized gases to agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy. The company's expertise in delivering technical-grade gases and related services, combined with its existing infrastructure for liquid helium logistics and compliance with strict purity standards, positioned it as a capable vendor for NIST's sourced requirement. This award aligns with NIST's mission to support scientific research and advances in metrology and standards, as liquid helium is essential for cooling and operating superconducting equipment used in precision measurements and experimental physics at the Boulder campus.
