Medical Gases and Dry Ice Deliveries at Tripler Army Medical Center and Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam
The Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA), Healthcare Contracting Division-West (HCD-W), San Diego has issued a Notice of Intent to Modify existing contract HT941024P0151 for Medical Gases and Dry Ice deliveries to Airgas USA, LLC under sole source authority. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notice that the government intends to expand the current medical gas contract to include additional military medical facilities in Hawaii. The modification will add medical gas delivery and cylinder services for Tripler Army Medical Center, dry ice delivery for the 15th Medical Group, and medical gas services for multiple Veterinary Treatment Facilities across Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Fort Shafter, and Schofield Barracks. The contract falls under NAICS code 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) with a 1,000-employee size standard and Product Service Code 6835 (Medical Gases). The expanded services will commence September 1, 2025, and continue through option periods ending September 30, 2028.
The objective of this sole source modification is to consolidate medical gas services across multiple Hawaii-based military medical facilities under a single contract, building upon Airgas USA's existing role as the current medical gas provider for Naval Health Clinic Hawaii. The government has determined that Airgas is the only responsible company located on the island capable of providing these specialized medical gas supplies and services. While not seeking competitive proposals, the agency will accept capability statements from interested vendors not exceeding six pages, which must be submitted to the contracting officer by 8:00 AM Pacific Time on August 26, 2025. However, the government explicitly states its intent to proceed with the sole source modification to Airgas regardless of any responses received. The expanded contract will include delivery of various medical gases including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and specialized mixtures, along with related cylinder services and dry ice delivery services totaling 500 pounds every two weeks for laboratory operations.
