About this IDV
NASA's Kennedy Space Center awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Air Products And Chemicals, Inc. with a ceiling of $1,633,624,481.43 on December 1, 2022, for the purchase of liquid helium and the lease of six liquid helium pumps. The contract is a sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, justified by the contractor's proprietary equipment and critical role in supporting Kennedy Space Center's gaseous helium pipeline serving launch operations at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Place of performance is Orlando, Florida. The contract period runs through October 31, 2026. Work falls under NAICS code 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) and PSC code 9135 (Liquid Propellant Fuels And Oxidizers, Chemical Base). A delivery order issued on December 1, 2022, under Schedule Contract 80KSC023DA010 carries a ceiling of $770,145,657.15 and extends through October 31, 2026, on a firm fixed-price basis.
A pre-solicitation notice posted September 15, 2025, indicates Kennedy Space Center is evaluating continuation of the sole-source arrangement for liquid helium supply and liquid helium pump lease supporting the Converter Compressor Facility through September 30, 2026, structured as a base period of four months, one two-month option period, and five one-month option periods. The Government invited interested organizations to submit capabilities by September 30, 2025, to Kennedy Space Center's procurement office, though the notice does not disclose a revised award value or materially alter the intended sole-source award to Air Products.
