About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This federal contract IDV, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Messer LLC (doing business as Messer North America), is for the indefinite delivery of liquid and gaseous helium to support various NASA locations. The $111,075,217.14 multiple-award contract has a period of performance from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. Messer, a manufacturer and supplier of industrial, medical, and specialty gases, will provide helium on a firm fixed-price delivery order basis to NASA facilities including the Glenn Research Center, Johnson Space Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, Goddard Space Center, Langley Research Center, and Stennis Space Center. The contract does not have any set-aside designations. The original solicitation, issued by NASA's Kennedy Space Center, sought to establish multiple indefinite delivery contracts for liquid and gaseous helium to support NASA's scientific research, space exploration, and operational requirements across the United States.

The contract includes numerous task orders awarded to date, ranging from small helium purchases at facilities to larger bulk helium deliveries in support of activities such as NASA's balloon operations, propellant fuels and oxidizers, and testing. Messer has demonstrated its extensive capabilities in supplying critical gases to federal agencies, including NASA, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and the United States Mint, through both prime and subcontract awards. This IDV contract reinforces Messer's strategic importance as a long-term, high-value supplier of essential gases to the government.
