About this IDV
This Indefinite Delivery, Multiple Award contract was awarded to Linde Inc. (operating as Praxair) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Kennedy Space Center on October 1, 2023, with a ceiling value of $5.01 million and performance through September 30, 2025. The contract procures gaseous and liquid helium on a firm-fixed-price delivery order basis to support NASA operations across 23 delivery sites throughout the United States. The award represents a non-competitive procurement with no set-aside designation, reflecting Linde's established position as a qualified supplier of industrial gases to federal agencies. The underlying solicitation, originally posted in December 2021, contemplated a five-year requirement consisting of a two-year base period and three one-year options, with estimated annual quantities specified in standard cubic feet and liters of helium delivered via trailers, dewars, and tankers.
The associated task order issued to Linde under this Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, valued at $1.89 million and also expiring September 30, 2025, specifically targets helium purchases for NASA balloon operations conducted at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility near Palestine, Texas. This task order represents the primary documented delivery order under the parent contract and reflects the specialized nature of helium supply requirements for NASA's scientific balloon program. Linde's experience supplying industrial gases to aerospace and research applications, combined with its existing infrastructure and relationships with NASA facilities, positions the company to efficiently fulfill fluctuating demand for high-purity helium across multiple NASA centers and support critical space exploration and scientific research missions.
