AI Contract Overview
The Defense Logistics Agency is soliciting a one-time firm fixed price contract to procure three specified quantities of two mission-critical virgin hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) compressed gases—Heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) and Hexafluoropropane (HFC-R236fa)—to be stored permanently at DLA Richmond, Virginia. The acquisition, driven by the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act, aims to secure a sustainable supply of these gases for Department of Defense weapon systems as production of HFCs is phased down. The contract includes 6,467 150-pound cylinders of R227ea, 1,122 1,200-pound cylinders of R227ea, and 1,372 150-pound cylinders of R236fa, all of which must meet specific purity standards: R227ea must comply with ASTM-6064 Type II, while R236fa must meet AHRI-700 (2019) Refrigerant Standard with the highest purity available. All cylinders and gases must be provided entirely by the contractor, with no government-supplied equipment, and the delivery timeline for all items is fixed at 101 days from contract award. The inspection and acceptance will occur at origin, with FOB destination terms applying to delivery. This procurement is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 325120, with a size standard of 1,200 employees, and excludes any provision related to NIST SP 800-171 assessments since all items are classified as commercial off-the-shelf products with no controlled unclassified information markings. The award will be determined based on a combination of price, past performance, and technical evaluation factors, although specific weights for each factor are not disclosed. The solicitation, issued as SPE4AX26R0040, was posted on July 9, 2026, with responses due by July 21, 2026, and will be accessible exclusively through the DIBBS website in PDF format; no paper copies will be available. Point of contact information is provided for questions, and all amendments have clarified that gas allowances are limited to calendar years 2027 and 2028 and that references to non-applicable NAICS codes and provisions have been removed.

An additional document has been added to this listing to include questions/answers in response to the solicitaiton.
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.
