The Department of Defense, through the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD), is seeking to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for the procurement of compressed and liquefied gases, including argon, nitrogen, helium, oxygen, and others. The objective is to secure standard commercial supplies and services at competitive prices, with a focus on small businesses as this opportunity is set aside for total small business participation. These gases are critical for various defense applications, and the BPAs will facilitate timely access to these essential materials while ensuring quality and reliability through a structured evaluation of past performance. Interested vendors must submit their documentation and references by April 30 for June awards or by October 31 for December awards, and can contact Barbara Grinder at barbara.j.grinder.civ@us.navy.mil for further information.
