The solicitation does not include any specific set-aside designations and covers the procurement of approximately 40,460 pounds of liquid helium and three pickup/re-delivery services for helium trailers. The period of performance spans from March 3, 2025, through March 4, 2026, with deliveries to be made at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, NY. Specific delivery requirements include five liquid helium trailers (with at least two 15,000-gallon capacity) spaced 3-5 days apart during the March 2025 RHIC cooldown, plus an additional mid-run delivery. The contract also requires the pickup and transportation of 25,000-40,000 gallons of liquid helium in December 2025. Vendors must provide pricing in U.S. dollars, include all associated costs, and meet stringent technical specifications, including adherence to Mil. Spec.
