Indefinite Delivery Contract 80KSC026D0002

Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Kennedy Space Center for agency-wide supply of liquid hydrogen (LH2) to support multiple NASA facilities including Glenn Research Center, Marshall Space Flight Center, and Stennis Space Center. The contract, valued at $144.4 million, was awarded on December 1, 2025, with a completion date of November 30, 2027, and represents a multiple-award, non-set-aside procurement. The original solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation capability statement request on October 17, 2024, sought industrial gas manufacturing sources with demonstrated technical competence and past performance in LH2 production. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325120 for Industrial Gas Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,000 employees, and specifically targets companies capable of meeting NASA's cryogenic gas supply requirements across its agency-wide operations.

The liquid hydrogen supplied under this contract directly supports critical space launch and research operations, particularly NASA's Space Launch System Program. Air Products, a global leader in industrial gases headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, brings extensive experience delivering cryogenic technologies and specialized gas solutions to federal agencies, including prior contract work with NASA, the Defense Logistics Agency Energy, and the Department of Defense. The contract structure, with its indefinite delivery mechanism, provides NASA with flexible procurement authority to issue task orders for LH2 supplies as operational needs dictate throughout the performance period. This arrangement enables streamlined acquisition of an essential commodity for space launch operations while leveraging Air Products' established capabilities in cryogenic gas production, handling, and delivery infrastructure across multiple NASA Centers.
