Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH26DA002

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $7.7 million by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical under the SPE2DH (Specialized Medical Gases Program) on October 17, 2025, with a completion date of September 24, 2032. This contract represents a portion of a larger consolidated national medical gases procurement initiative collectively valued at more than $430 million across multiple contract vehicles. The contract establishes supply relationships for compressed and bulk liquid medical gases—including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide—to military medical treatment facilities within the Defense Health System. No set-aside designation was applied to this single-award contract, which was preceded by a Defense Logistics Agency Request for Information posted on January 23, 2024, soliciting vendor capabilities to support over 100 military medical treatment facilities distributed across 12 geographic regions with an estimated annual spending requirement of $10 million.

The SPE2DH program consolidates what was previously fragmented regional purchasing into a standardized national supply approach under the Medical Supply Chain funding agency, which operates within the Defense portfolio. Linde Gas & Equipment, a foreign-owned industrial and medical gases manufacturer with extensive federal contracting experience across civilian and defense agencies, demonstrated capability to serve as a critical infrastructure supplier for sustained, long-term medical gas requirements across multiple military medical centers. The indefinite delivery contract structure provides flexibility through delivery order mechanisms to accommodate variable consumption needs across the geographically dispersed military healthcare network while maintaining fixed-price arrangements. This procurement supports the Defense Health Agency's operational requirements for medical gases to military medical treatment facilities in accordance with established federal procedures, positioning the contract as essential to military healthcare operations through September 2032.
