Matheson Tri-Gas was awarded a blanket purchase order (BPO) by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) under Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. IW188788, specifically BPO 696-5-BP503370. This represents the first renewal of a four-year contract option for the supply of industrial and specialty gases. The contract encompasses multiple gas categories including noble gases, industrial use gases, hydrogen compound gases, industrial air, and acetylene, as categorized by UNSPSC and NIGP codes.

The contract, effective September 1, 2025, is structured as a renewable indefinite delivery vehicle for gas procurement across TDCJ facilities. While specific contract value details are not provided, the BPO is designed to facilitate ongoing gas supply requirements for industrial and potentially correctional facility applications. The contract leverages NIGP Code 43092 for welding and industrial gases, suggesting a comprehensive approach to gas provisioning that may include critical gases such as argon, carbon dioxide, and oxygen for various operational needs.
