NITROGEN

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the base contract SPE60121D1534 to Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. (CAGE 0B434), a small business certified as a Women-Owned and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, for the supply of technical nitrogen and related services. The delivery order, identified as SPE60126FL01H, was issued on July 16, 2026, with a total price of $60.00, though the overall contract value spanning the period from August 13, 2021, to June 30, 2026, includes multiple estimated and multi-year line items with escalating unit prices, particularly for nitrogen deliveries to U.S. Air Force bases across the nation, including Lackland, Tinker, Holloman, Vance, and Dyess AFBs. Deliveries are governed by FOB Destination terms, with acceptance occurring at designated military locations, and must comply with MIL-PRF-27210J for aviator’s breathing oxygen and CID A-A-59503D for technical nitrogen, ensuring purity, odor, and moisture standards. Quantities for all product CLINs are subject to a 10% variance upward or downward, as permitted under FAR clause 52.211-16, and all invoicing must be submitted exclusively through the Wide Area WorkFlow system using web, EDI, or FTP methods. Payment is processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at Columbus, Ohio, with remittance directed to DoDAAC SL4701 and administered via SPE601. The contractor is subject to stringent cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012, mandating NIST SP 800-171 compliance for protecting covered defense information, and is prohibited from using certain telecommunications equipment under related clauses. Packaging and labeling must include NSNs, DODAAC codes, and delivery location identifiers such as CDS433LACK or CDSHOLLOMA, with implied adherence to military marking standards. Although attachment details and full pricing data are fragmented or marked as placeholder values due to system constraints, the contract operates under commercial item provisions and incorporates standard FAR and DFARS clauses governing acceptance, inspection at destination, and safeguarding of information, with the sole contract point of contact for payment and administrative matters
