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 weapon 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 gases 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 gases, determined by the Services to be the most critical at this time; Heptafluropropane (HFC-227ea) and Hexafluoropropane (HFC-R236fa). These items will be placed in static storage at DLA, Richmond, Virginia until such time as they are needed.
DLA intends to award a firm fixed price contract supporting the HFC gases listed below.
FOB Destination, I/A Origin. Solicitation is being solicited as a total small business set aside. The requested delivery timeframe is 101 days for all items. The final contract award decision may be based upon a combination of price, past performance, and technical evaluation factors as described in the solicitation. The solicitation issue date is estimated on or around 7/7/2026.
