This is a pre-solicitation notice only; no contract will be awarded based on this notice, and the government will not reimburse response costs.
The requirement calls for 1,100 pounds of dry ice nuggets (CO2) delivered weekly on Thursdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. central standard time to three Fort Hood, Texas locations: Robertson Blood Center (500 pounds), Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, Specimen Processing (500 pounds), and DPM-Environmental Health Services (100 pounds). The period of performance runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with four optional 12-month extensions through September 30, 2031.
The contractor must provide solidified carbon dioxide (CO2) at minus 109 degrees Fahrenheit, packaged in insulated containers.

Notice text
PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE: THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO AWARD A FIRM FIXED PRICE CONTRACT FOR: Delivery of 1,100 pounds of Dry Ice Nuggets (CO2) with insulated containers that will be delivered each week on Thursday between 07:30am c.s.t - 4:00pm c.s.t to the following three (3) locations for a total of 52 weeks.
1) 500 pounds to be delivered to ROBERTSON BLOOD CENTER, Bldg. 2250, 761st Tank Battalion Ave, Fort Hood, Texas 76544.
2) 500 pounds to be delivered to CARL R. DARNAL ARMY MEDICAL CENTER (CRDAMC), Building 36065, Room 42-415, Specimen Processing, 2nd Floor, 590 Medical Center Road, Fort Hood, Texas 76544
3) 100 pounds to be delivered to DPM-ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, Bldg. 36045, Intersection of Wratten and Old Railhead Drive, Fort Hood, Texas 76544.
** Provide dry ice (CO2) which is solidified carbon dioxide (CO2). Distinct from regular ice, which exists at temperatures of 32F (0C) and below, dry ice is extremely cold, 109F (-79C). Unlike water ice, dry ice does not melt. Instead, it sublimates (changes directly from solid to gas), releasing CO2. Carbon dioxide vapor is substantially heavier than air.
ALL requirements in the solicitation and Special Terms and Conditions MUST BE MET for vendor consideration.
The estimated period of performance (PoP) 01 October 2026 – 30 September 2027 with four (4) 12-month option periods ending 30 September 2031.
This requirement is being competed as 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside.
