Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH25DA026

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $14 million under the SPE2DH program by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical on October 20, 2025, with a completion date of September 24, 2032. This contract supports the development and implementation of a national medical gases program designed 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 within the Military Health System. The contract originated from a Request for Information posted on January 23, 2024, which sought vendor feedback and capability demonstrations to establish long-term supply solutions for military medical facilities. Linde's award reflects its demonstrated ability to serve as a primary or backup supplier across multiple regions while meeting the Defense Health Agency's operational procedures and requirements.

The contract structure provides for an initial base period with performance extending through September 2032, supporting the Defense Department's medical supply chain operations on a defense, non-civilian basis. Based on the originating solicitation, the estimated annual spending of approximately $10 million reflects the substantial scope required to maintain consistent medical gas availability across the Military Health System. Linde Gas & Equipment Inc., a foreign-owned industrial and medical gas supplier with extensive federal contracting experience, brings significant expertise in gas production, distribution, and specialized equipment services. The single-award designation and absence of set-asides indicate that this procurement was competed on a full and open basis, with the award reflecting Linde's technical capabilities, pricing competitiveness, and proven ability to manage complex, multi-region medical gas distribution networks supporting defense healthcare operations.
