Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25DA016

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) under the SPE2DH program by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, a defense-aligned federal agency, with an award date of October 17, 2025, and a ceiling value of $1.6 million. The contract supports the Hospital Supply Division's medical gases initiative and will remain in effect through September 24, 2032. This IDC evolved from a Request for Information issued on January 23, 2024, which sought vendor capabilities to supply 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 nationwide. The underlying solicitation contemplated fixed-price delivery orders with an initial five-year base period and a single five-year option, with estimated annual spending of approximately $10 million to support Military Health System operational requirements in accordance with Defense Health Agency procedures.

Under this IDC, Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. will provide medical gases and associated equipment and services to designated military medical treatment facilities as task orders are issued against the contract. The awardee's qualifications include demonstrated capabilities in supplying specialized medical gases, comprehensive distribution infrastructure, and established relationships across federal healthcare agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense. As a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer and global supplier with expertise in both industrial and medical gas production, Linde brings proven experience fulfilling similar long-term gas supply agreements with federal agencies, including existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with the Veterans Health Administration and Defense Health Agency. The contract structure allows the government to issue delivery orders for medical gas requirements across the military medical treatment facility network while maintaining pricing and performance accountability through the established ceiling value.
