Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25DA014

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (under the Hospital Supply Division) with a ceiling value of $3.15 million and an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2032. The contract, designated SPE2DH, was awarded on October 17, 2025, following a pre-solicitation phase that concluded in February 2024. This IDC supports the Defense Health Agency's national medical gases program, which aims to establish a streamlined supply chain for compressed and bulk liquid medical gases—including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide—to over 100 military medical treatment facilities distributed across 12 regional areas. The contract was competitively procured without set-aside designations, reflecting Linde's demonstrated technical capabilities and established presence in supplying specialized medical gases to federal defense agencies.

The solicitation process sought vendor capabilities to support military medical treatment facilities with medical gas supplies on a regional basis, with vendors required to demonstrate capacity to serve at least one full region as either a primary or backup supplier. The original Request for Information anticipated an estimated annual spending of $10 million for the national program over an initial five-year base period with a single five-year option, though the awarded IDC ceiling of $3.15 million represents Linde's allocation within this broader program structure. Linde's award reflects its extensive experience in medical gas supply to federal healthcare systems, as evidenced by existing Defense Health Agency contracts and Veterans Affairs technology acquisition agreements. Delivery orders issued under this IDC will be placed against the established ceiling value to fulfill medical gas requirements for Military Health System facilities in accordance with Defense Health Agency procedures.
