Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25DA023

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $32.9 million by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical program (SPE2DH) on October 20, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 24, 2032. This contract represents the formalization of a national medical gases program initially outlined in a Request for Information issued in January 2024. The contract establishes a streamlined procurement vehicle to supply compressed and bulk liquid medical gases—including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide—to over 100 military medical treatment facilities across 12 regions within the Military Health System. The contract supports critical healthcare operations across geographically dispersed Department of Defense medical facilities and aligns with the Defense Health Agency's procedures manual for standardized gas supply and delivery.

The solicitation required contractors to demonstrate capability to serve as a primary or backup supplier for at least one complete region and maintain appropriate certifications for medical gas distribution. The underlying Request for Information anticipated annual spending of approximately $10 million for medical gases and related services, with an estimated procurement period structured around a five-year base term and single five-year option. As a foreign-owned industrial and medical gas supplier with extensive experience providing specialized gases to federal agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense, Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. brought substantial technical capabilities and existing infrastructure to support this long-term supply agreement. The award was made without set-aside designations, indicating open competitive procurement reflecting the contractor's technical qualifications and competitive positioning.
