Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH26DA003

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $2.8 million under the SPE2DH program by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical, effective October 17, 2025, through September 24, 2032. This contract establishes a national medical gases supply relationship supporting the Military Health System across 12 geographic regions, consolidating previously fragmented regional purchasing into a standardized procurement approach. The contract calls for the supply of compressed and bulk liquid medical gases including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide to military medical treatment facilities nationwide. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. As a single-award contract vehicle, this procurement was issued without competing alternatives, indicating Linde's demonstrated capability to meet the government's specialized medical gas supply requirements.

The underlying solicitation, issued as a Request for Information in January 2024, sought to establish requirements for a national medical gases program to supply over 100 military medical treatment facilities. The Defense Logistics Agency anticipated annual spending of approximately $10 million for medical gases procured in accordance with Defense Health Agency procedures, with vendors required to demonstrate capability to support facilities in at least one complete geographic region as either a primary or backup supplier. The 10-year performance period structure reflects the government's intent to establish long-term supply stability for military healthcare operations. Linde's established portfolio of federal gas supply contracts, including existing relationships with the Department of Veterans Affairs and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, provided demonstrated capacity to execute this consolidated national program at scale.
