The Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Linde Puerto Rico B.V., doing business as Praxair, for the provision of liquid nitrogen and related storage tank rental services for the FDA's San Juan, Puerto Rico laboratory. The single-award IDC has a ceiling value of $78,708 and a period of performance through January 25, 2026.
The contract aims to secure a reliable supply of industrial-grade liquid nitrogen to support the continuous operation of the FDA's laboratory instrumentation and analytical processes at the San Juan facility. The contract includes the rental of bulk storage tanks to enable the on-site storage and distribution of the liquid nitrogen as needed. This specialized service and equipment rental is essential to the FDA's laboratory operations and ensures timely, accurate test results. The competitive solicitation for this requirement was initially set aside for small businesses, but the award was ultimately made to the larger industrial gas supplier, Linde Puerto Rico B.V., through full and open competition.
