The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking to procure industrial compressed gases and related services through Request for Quotation 140G0225Q0073. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of specialty gases including acetylene, breathing air, zero grade air, compressed medical air, anaerobic mixtures, and argon in various cylinders, dewars, and containers for USGS operations. Contractors must provide an inventory control system for cylinder tracking, empty cylinder pick-up services, and maintain compliance with safety and regulatory standards. The evaluation will be based on past performance, product availability, cylinder control system capabilities, and timeliness/safety protocols, with non-price factors weighted as significantly more important than price.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation and does not identify any current incumbents or contractors.

The base contract period spans one year from August 18, 2025 to August 17, 2026, with an optional six-month extension available through February 18, 2027. Performance will occur in the Boulder/Denver metropolitan area, with deliveries required to multiple USGS locations including Denver Federal Center buildings and the National Water Quality Lab.
