Consumable Gases and Related Products- ATL

The Food and Drug Administration's Atlanta Human and Animal Food Laboratory is seeking to procure consumable gases and related products through a contract for laboratory gases and cylinder rental services. The FDA's Office of Acquisition and Grant Services is managing this solicitation, which covers various gas types including Helium, Medical Air, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Argon, Hydrogen, Methane/Argon Mixture, Liquid Argon, Liquid Nitrogen, Air Ultra Zero, and Oxygen in different purity grades from Ultra High Purity to pre-purified specifications. The contract requires weekly deliveries every Tuesday between 7:30-9:00 AM or 1:30-3:00 PM (excluding federal holidays), with emergency deliveries available Tuesday through Friday, and the contractor must handle delivery, restocking, and retrieval of empty cylinders. The government will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method to select the winning bidder. All quotes must be submitted electronically to Nina.Montgomery@fda.hhs.gov by September 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with late submissions excluded from evaluation.

This solicitation does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractor or current service provider is identified in the available documentation. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with four optional 12-month extension years, potentially spanning five years total. The pricing documents show estimated annual values of $0.00 across all contract years, indicating this may be a preliminary pricing template requiring contractors to provide actual pricing for the specified gas quantities and tank sizes. Performance will occur at the FDA Atlanta Human and Animal Food Laboratory located in Atlanta, GA 30309, with a potential relocation to a new address anticipated in January 2026, requiring the contractor to support both locations during the transition period.
