About this IDV
Kennedy Space Center issued a multiple award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $57.3 million to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. on December 1, 2022, for the procurement of liquid hydrogen to support Marshall Space Flight Center and Stennis Space Center operations through November 30, 2025. This civilian National Aeronautics and Space Administration contract, awarded without set-aside designation using a lowest-price technically acceptable source selection methodology, represents a critical supply arrangement for cryogenic propellant essential to the Space Launch Systems program and related space exploration missions. The base contract established a two-year initial performance period from December 2022 through November 2024, with three optional one-year extension periods extending through November 2027. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., a Pennsylvania-based global manufacturer of industrial gases and cryogenic materials with extensive experience serving federal space and defense agencies, was selected as a prime contractor on a competitive basis.
Under this Indefinite Delivery Contract, two significant delivery orders have been issued totaling approximately $52.97 million. The first delivery order, valued at $18.4 million, was awarded to Marshall Space Flight Center on January 19, 2023, for liquid hydrogen supply with performance through November 30, 2025, with place of performance at Wescosville, Pennsylvania. The second delivery order, valued at $34.6 million, was awarded to Stennis Space Center on December 1, 2022, for liquid hydrogen supply with performance through December 30, 2025, with place of performance at John C. Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. Both delivery orders are structured as firm fixed-price arrangements with no small business set-aside designations, reflecting Air Products' competitive position in federal cryogenic gas procurement. The underlying pre-solicitation opportunity, posted in February 2022, indicated the procurement would be governed under North American Industry Classification System code 325120 (petrochemical manufacturing) with a 1,000-employee size standard.
