Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25DA005

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical under the SPE2DH program on October 17, 2025, with a ceiling value of $7.7 million and an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2032. This contract supports the Hospital Supply Division's efforts to establish a national medical gases program serving the Military Health System. The contract was competitively procured without set-aside designations, reflecting the awardee's technical qualifications and competitive positioning in the federal medical gases market. As a leading industrial and medical gases supplier with extensive federal contracting experience, Linde Gas & Equipment will provide compressed and bulk liquid medical gases—including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide—to support military medical treatment facilities across multiple regions nationwide.

The underlying solicitation, issued as a Request for Information in January 2024, sought to develop a comprehensive national medical gases procurement strategy for over 100 military medical treatment facilities distributed across 12 regions. The anticipated annual spending was estimated at $10 million to support Military Health System operations in accordance with Defense Health Agency procedures. Vendors were required to demonstrate capability to serve as primary or backup suppliers for at least one complete region and maintain appropriate certifications for medical gas distribution. The resulting contract contemplates an initial five-year base period with a single five-year option period, establishing a long-term, streamlined supply solution that consolidates medical gas procurement across the defense health enterprise and ensures consistent, reliable availability of critical medical gases to military healthcare facilities.
