About this award

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $4,956.09 firm fixed-price purchase order to Praxair Distribution Mid-Atlantic, LLC (doing business as Gts-Welco) for the supply of liquid helium, with performance scheduled for completion by May 13, 2015. This award was made through open competition with no set-aside designation, reflecting the vendor's demonstrated competitive capability in the federal marketplace. Praxair Distribution Mid-Atlantic is a subsidiary of Linde Inc., a global industrial gases company headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut, and operates as a specialized supplier of medical and industrial gases to Department of Defense agencies.

The purchase order represents a typical transactional engagement within Praxair Distribution Mid-Atlantic's broader federal portfolio, which is primarily anchored by a substantial $6.5 million blanket purchase agreement with the Defense Health Agency extending through September 2030. While the company's core federal business focuses on supplying medical gases and related equipment to military healthcare facilities in Pennsylvania and Maryland, it has also fulfilled specialty gas requirements for the Office of Naval Research and Naval Sea Systems Command, including xenon, krypton, and nitrogen products. The liquid helium procurement supports the Office of Naval Research's mission-critical operations and research initiatives requiring specialized cryogenic materials.
