About this IDV

The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration awarded a single-award, indefinite delivery contract to Linde Gas & Equipment Inc., doing business as Praxair, with a potential value of $1,000,000. The contract aims to procure compressed gases and related supplies to support the agency's forensic laboratory operations, as evidenced by subsequent delivery orders.

Delivery orders issued against the contract include compressed gases and liquid nitrogen for the agency's Southwest Laboratory in Vista, California, with a value of $22,203.62; laboratory supplies including liquid nitrogen, helium, and gas cylinder rentals valued at $18,793.63 to support the same facility; and gases valued at $11,202.09 for evidence analysis in Danbury, Connecticut. Other orders provided transcription, translation, and linguistic services to support investigative and intelligence efforts across High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas. All delivery orders specified firm fixed-price terms and no set-aside provisions, with periods of performance ranging from a single day to just over one year.

The original solicitation sought compressed gases but provided no further details. As the principal law enforcement agency responsible for drug control in the United States, the Drug Enforcement Administration relies on forensic analysis to investigate and prosecute drug crimes. The contracted gases and related supplies from Praxair thus support the agency's drug enforcement operations through application in evidence examination and other laboratory functions.
