Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA Kennedy Space Center awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract to Messer LLC on October 1, 2025, for agency-wide supply of liquid and gaseous helium with a ceiling value of $59.564 million and ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027 (with options extending through September 2030).

The contract covers helium supply to 13 NASA facilities nationwide, including Kennedy Space Center, Stennis Space Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, Glenn Research Center, Langley Research Center, and other agency locations across California, Texas, New Mexico, Oregon, and additional states. Place of performance includes supplier facilities and customer sites at the named NASA centers and subordinate locations.

The originating solicitation (RFP 80KSC024R0010, posted November 27, 2024) sought comprehensive liquid and gaseous helium delivery with varying monthly requirements by location—ranging from 40,000 to 1.28 million standard cubic feet per month for gaseous helium and 100 to 4,000 liters per month for liquid helium—to support Space Launch System testing, balloon operations, and other aerospace research and operations. The contract is classified under NAICS 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing) and carries no set-aside designation.

Performance runs on a base period through September 30, 2027, with three one-year option periods extending through September 30, 2030. Recent delivery orders issued under this IDIQ include a $12.451 million order from Goddard Space Center for Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility helium supply (Bridgewater, New Jersey, through September 2030), a $6.225 million gaseous helium order from Stennis Space Center (through September 2027), a $5.507 million bulk helium order from Marshall Space Flight Center (Bridgewater, New Jersey, through September 2027), a $1.934 million helium order from Marshall for Michoud Assembly Facility (through September 2027), and a $874.711 million order from Goddard for GSFC Code 500 and 600 operations (Greenbelt, Maryland, through September 2030). All delivery orders are firm fixed price with no set-aside applied.
