About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy is soliciting proposals for the procurement of Gaseous Helium (Type I, Grade A) meeting MIL-PRF-27407E specifications for delivery to Hill Air Force Base, Utah. This solicitation (SPE601-25-R-0316) seeks a Firm Fixed-Price Requirements Contract for industrial gas manufacturing services, with the contractor responsible for providing all necessary product, materials, supplies, management, tools, equipment, transportation, and labor for F.O.B. Destination delivery. The procurement includes additional services for expedited/emergency delivery and detention fees, with strict delivery requirements including Monday through Thursday deliveries from 0600-1400 MST, excluding federal holidays, and security protocols requiring U.S. citizen delivery personnel with photo identification. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, past performance, and lowest total evaluated price using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection process. The solicitation was posted on July 9, 2025, with offers due by August 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Time, and has been amended twice to address vendor questions regarding annual usage volumes and tank compliance issues.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be competed among all qualified suppliers in the industrial gas manufacturing sector (NAICS 325120). No current incumbents or existing contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, as this appears to be a new requirement rather than a replacement of an existing contract. The estimated quantity is 160 thousand cubic feet (160 MC) of gaseous helium with an annual usage of 80,000 standard cubic feet, though no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the available documentation. The contract performance period spans 21 months from January 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with delivery requirements including the ability to provide emergency deliveries within 3 calendar days and standard deliveries within 7 calendar days of order receipt. All performance will take place at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with helium delivered into government-owned storage tanks through a cascading process from vendor trailers into lower-pressure flasks.
