Medical Gas Cylinders

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical is preparing to solicit a Firm Fixed Price Requirements contract for medical gas cylinders across a five-year period. The procurement will specifically target three distinct medical gas cylinder types: Oxygen USP Size D, Oxygen USP Size H, and Nitrous Oxide 250 gal, all of which are FDA regulated and must meet specific military specifications (MIL-O-37997 and MIL-N-37996). The contract structure includes one base year and four optional years, with the anticipated solicitation date set for April 30, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, interested vendors should carefully review the military specifications and FDA regulations governing these medical gas products. The official response deadline is April 25, 2025, and potential contractors should note the delivery destination will be the Defense Distribution Depot in Tracy, California.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity. The annual estimated quantities are substantial: 6,000 units of Oxygen USP Size D cylinders, 500 units of Oxygen USP Size H cylinders, and 100 units of Nitrous Oxide 250 gal cylinders. The contract includes a 120-day acceptance delivery order (ADO) period, providing vendors flexibility in meeting procurement requirements. The NAICS categorization is Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (325412), and the Product Service Code (PSC) is classified under Drugs and Biologicals (6505). While specific award values are not provided, the volume and multi-year nature of the contract suggest a significant procurement opportunity for qualified medical gas cylinder manufacturers and suppliers.
