About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is initiating a large acquisition for the procurement of two mission-critical hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) compressed gases - Heptafluoropropane (HFC227ea) and Hexafluoropropane (HFCR236fa). These gases will be placed in a static storage reserve to ensure a sustainable supply, as the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (AIM Act) targets the phase-down of certain HFCs. The solicitation, number SPE4A2-24-R-0015, was posted on August 1, 2024, with offers due on August 30, 2024. The Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process will be used, and the DLA will provide the required EPA-issued HFC allowances to the awarded vendor. The delivery deadline is October 31, 2025, with a potential extension to December 31, 2025.
The solicitation has no set-aside designation, and the DLA is open to awarding the two HFC gases separately if it is determined to be more cost-effective during the evaluation. The place of performance is the United States, and the NAICS code is 325120 - Industrial Gas Manufacturing, with the PSC code of 6830-P - Gases: Compressed And Liquefied. The DLA is seeking to ensure a sustainable supply of these mission-critical HFC compressed gases, which are projected to be needed beyond the year 2060.
Notice text
The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (AIM Act) targets several Hydrofluorocarbon gasses for
phase down of production as previously occurred with Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS). As many
weapons platforms within the Department of Defense moved from ODS to HFCs, the need has arisen to
ensure a sustainable supply of these Mission Critical compressed gasses is available. Projected need
extends beyond the year 2060. To that end, The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will initiate a large
acquisition of two (2) mission critical virgin HFC compressed gasses, determined by the Services to be the
most critical at this time; Heptafluropropane (HFC‐227ea) and Hexafluoropropane (HFC‐R236fa). These
two items will be placed in a static storage at DLA, Richmond, Virginia until such time as they are needed.
