About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Energy published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of Gaseous Nitrogen (GN2) services at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, under solicitation SPE601-25-R-0304. The contract was awarded to Airgas USA, LLC for $1,193,888 to supply 1,199,720 cubic feet of GN2 over a five-year period from January 9, 2024, to September 28, 2030. The GN2 supports critical National Security Space Launch program missions, including leak checks, purging propellant systems, and operating pneumatic tools. DLA Energy justified the sole source award by determining that Airgas USA, LLC is the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirement, citing their existing multi-million-dollar conversion facilities on-site at VSFB and their continuous performance supplying GN2 since 1997. Despite extensive market research efforts that included contacting 112 small business sources and posting a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov from February 11-26, 2025, Airgas was the only responsive vendor, reinforcing the sole source justification for this firm fixed-price contract.
