Quarterly price adjustments are capped at a 10% increase per CLIN. Products must meet Compressed Gas Association and Military Performance Specifications for nitrogen and oxygen.

Delivery orders issued under this contract include Stennis Space Center's $36.9 million liquid nitrogen order and $11.2 million liquid oxygen order, both dated July 11, 2024, and Langley Research Center's $1.04 million liquid nitrogen Grade B Type II order from the same date.
