About this award
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases awarded a $86,255 firm fixed-price purchase order to Messer LLC (doing business as Messer North America) on February 25, 2026, for the supply of liquid helium to support nuclear magnetic resonance research operations at the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, calls for the delivery of liquid helium in 60- and 100-liter vendor-owned dewars to multiple laboratories, with an ultimate completion date of February 24, 2027. The helium must meet purity specifications sufficient to prevent clogging in NMR magnets and transfer lines, and the dewars must be rated for safe use in magnetic environments. Performance of work is based at the contractor's location in Bridgewater, New Jersey.
Messer LLC, a for-profit manufacturer and supplier of industrial, medical, and specialty gases headquartered in New Jersey, is well-positioned to fulfill this requirement given its extensive history supplying technical gases to federal agencies including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy. The company currently holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts, including a multiple-award IDV with NASA valued at $59.6 million for agency-wide helium supply through September 2030, demonstrating its established capability and reliability as a critical federal gas supplier. This purchase order procurement originated from a Request for Quotation posted by NIDDK on January 28, 2026, seeking approximately 5,620 liters of liquid helium annually under Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
