Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25D0033

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, a component of the Department of Defense, with a ceiling value of $40 million and a performance period extending through September 24, 2032. This contract was awarded on September 25, 2025, without any set-aside designation, reflecting open competition based on technical merit and pricing. The contract supports the Defense Health System's national medical gases program, which requires the provision of compressed and bulk liquid medical gases—including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide—to supply military medical treatment facilities across multiple regions. As a manufacturer and global supplier with extensive expertise in industrial and medical gas production and distribution, Linde Gas & Equipment possesses the specialized capabilities and certifications necessary to serve as a primary or backup supplier to over 100 Military Health System facilities across 12 regions.

The underlying solicitation, released as a Request for Information in January 2024, anticipated annual spending of approximately $10 million and sought vendor responses regarding capability to support the national medical gases program under fixed-price contracts with an initial five-year base period and single five-year option. The contract reflects the consolidated procurement approach outlined in that solicitation, establishing a streamlined indefinite delivery vehicle to ensure consistent supply of critical medical gases to military healthcare operations. Linde's existing track record with the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs, combined with its current Indefinite Delivery Vehicle with the Defense Health Agency for bulk oxygen tank leasing valued at $6.5 million, positions the company to execute the requirements of this substantial medical gas supply contract efficiently across the specified geographic regions.
