Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25DA006

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, under Program SPE2DH, with an effective award date of October 17, 2025, and an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2032. This contract, valued at $2.2 million, supports the Hospital Supply Division's medical gases procurement operations. The contract represents the materialization of a Request for Information posted in January 2024 seeking 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 regions. The funding agency, classified as a defense entity, conducted this procurement without set-aside designations, reflecting an open competitive process based on technical capabilities and pricing competitiveness.

Under this IDC, Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. will provide comprehensive medical gas supply and related services to support the Military Health System's medical treatment facilities in accordance with Defense Health Agency procedures. The contract builds upon the original solicitation's requirement that vendors demonstrate capability to service at least one full region as either a primary or backup supplier, with an estimated annual spending requirement of approximately $10 million across the initial contract period. The IDC structure enables the government to issue task orders and delivery orders throughout the contract term, ensuring flexible procurement of medical gases and associated equipment while maintaining long-term supply chain continuity for critical healthcare operations across the defense medical establishment. This procurement aligns with Linde's established expertise in supplying specialized medical gases to federal agencies and its demonstrated experience managing similar indefinite delivery vehicles with other government entities.
