About this award

NASA Glenn Research Center awarded a $1.34M firm fixed-price purchase order to Linde Engineering North America LLC for procurement of a Linde Model LR1620 helium refrigerator on September 30, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of December 20, 2025. The equipment will be delivered to The Woodlands, Texas and is intended to support testing and operations in the Electric Propulsion Laboratory at Glenn Research Center. This was a sole source acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1, justified by the interchangeability of Linde units, which enables cost savings, reduced repair times, and leverages existing operator familiarity with the equipment. No small business set-aside was utilized for this procurement.

Linde Engineering North America LLC, a subsidiary of Linde plc and a global leader in industrial gases and specialized equipment, has an established track record delivering helium refrigeration systems and related thermal process equipment to NASA and other federal agencies. The company's expertise in cryogenic refrigeration technology and prior successful deliveries of similar systems to Glenn Research Center made it the sole source for this requirement. This purchase order reflects NASA's continued investment in maintaining and upgrading critical infrastructure for electric propulsion research and development activities.
