Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25D0028

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, operating under the Medical Supply Chain program within the Department of Defense. The contract, valued at $38,000,000 with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2032, was awarded on September 25, 2025, following a pre-solicitation Request for Information issued in January 2024. The primary objective of this indefinite delivery vehicle is to establish a national medical gases program capable of supplying compressed and bulk liquid medical gases—including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide—to over 100 military medical treatment facilities distributed across 12 geographic regions. The contract supports the Military Health System's operational requirements in accordance with Defense Health Agency procedures, with an estimated annual spending commitment of $10 million.

Under this indefinite delivery contract structure, Linde Gas & Equipment will serve as the primary or backup supplier of medical gases to designated military medical treatment facilities, leveraging its established expertise in industrial and medical gas production and distribution. The contract's seven-year performance period reflects the original solicitation's intent to procure services on a regional basis, with vendors required to demonstrate capability to support at least one full region as either a primary or backup supplier. This award consolidates medical gas procurement across the Military Health System into a streamlined, long-term supply arrangement, eliminating the fragmented procurement approach previously used across individual installations. The single-award determination indicates the agency's confidence in Linde's ability to meet the comprehensive requirements across all 12 regions and over 100 facilities, reducing administrative overhead while ensuring consistent supply chain management for critical medical gases essential to military healthcare operations.
