Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25DA010

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $7.6 million by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (identified under program SPE2DH and the Hospital Supply Division—Federal Supply Group) on October 9, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2032. The contract supports the Military Health System's national medical gases program, procuring compressed and bulk liquid medical gases including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide to supply over 100 military medical treatment facilities across 12 regional areas. As a single-award, non-set-aside contract, this IDC provides the Department of Defense with streamlined ordering capabilities for critical medical gas supplies required to support military medical operations nationwide. Linde Gas & Equipment's established capabilities as a global industrial and medical gases supplier, combined with existing Department of Defense contracts and infrastructure for bulk oxygen and medical gas delivery, positioned the company to serve as the primary supplier for this consolidated national program.

The underlying Request for Information, posted January 23, 2024, sought vendor capabilities to support medical gas supply across multiple military regions with an estimated $10 million in annual spending over a potential 10-year period. Vendors were required to demonstrate capacity to support facilities in at least one full region as either a primary or backup supplier and to hold appropriate certifications for medical gas distribution. The contract structure contemplates a five-year base period with a single five-year renewal option, reflecting the Department of Defense's long-term supply strategy for medical gases across the Military Health System. This IDC arrangement eliminates the need for individual procurement actions for routine medical gas replenishment, enabling efficient delivery of essential gases to military medical treatment facilities while maintaining pricing stability and supply chain reliability across the Defense Health Agency's network.
