This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded on October 10, 2025, to Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. under the SPE2DH program, a single-award, non-set-aside procurement managed by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical Supply Chain division. The contract carries a ceiling value of $13.3 million and extends through September 24, 2032, supporting the establishment of a national medical gases program for the Defense Health System. The prime contractor will 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 geographic regions.

As a global supplier of industrial and medical gases with established federal contracting experience, Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. brings significant technical credentials to this engagement, including existing Indefinite Delivery Vehicles with multiple federal agencies for specialized gas supply and related services. The contract structure supports the Defense Health Agency's standardized procedures for medical gas procurement and distribution, addressing critical operational requirements across military healthcare facilities. While specific task orders and detailed pricing schedules are not provided in the available documentation, the underlying solicitation anticipated fixed-price contract mechanisms with an initial five-year base period and a single five-year option, positioning this IDC as a long-term, streamlined acquisition vehicle for sustained medical gas supply to the Military Health System across multiple regions and facility types.
