Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE2DH26DA006

Linde Gas & Equipment Inc. was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $2.8 million under the SPE2DH (Specialized Medical Gases Program) by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical on October 17, 2025, with performance extending through September 24, 2032. The contract establishes a national medical gases supply program designed to consolidate previously fragmented regional purchasing into a standardized procurement approach for the Military Health System. The contract procures compressed and bulk liquid medical gases including oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide to support over 100 military medical treatment facilities distributed across 12 geographic regions. No set-aside designation was used for this competitive award, reflecting the vendor's qualified capability to meet specialized federal healthcare supply requirements.

The underlying solicitation, released as a Request for Information on January 23, 2024, with a response deadline of February 22, 2024, sought vendor feedback to develop requirements for the national program with an estimated annual spending of $10 million. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical required interested vendors to demonstrate capability to support facilities in at least one complete region as either a primary or backup supplier, with anticipated performance structured as fixed-price indefinite quantity delivery orders. The contract awards represent a consolidation of the Defense Health Agency's medical gas supply requirements under a structured national program, enabling streamlined procurement and delivery order mechanisms across multiple military treatment facility locations while maintaining the operational flexibility characteristic of indefinite delivery vehicles.
