AI Contract Overview

The Defense Logistics Agency Energy Aerospace intends to award a sole-source contract to Gas World.com LTD for a 12-month subscription to its proprietary industrial gas market intelligence platform, which provides comprehensive, real-time global data on supply, demand, pricing, production, and performance of industrial gases. This subscription grants enterprise-wide, 24/7 digital access for up to fifteen authorized users, along with interactive analytics, customizable dashboards, ongoing system maintenance, database updates, and direct support from subject matter experts. The agency has determined that Gas World.com LTD is the sole provider capable of delivering the unique, non-public datasets and analytical tools essential to the integrity and effectiveness of its Aerospace Direct Delivery and Bulk Cryogen programs, as no other commercial alternative offers the same level of specialized insight or continuity of data. Transitioning to another vendor would introduce significant operational risk, data inconsistencies, and diminished visibility into critical global industrial gas trends. This notice is not a solicitation but provides an opportunity for other entities to demonstrate their capability to meet the requirement by submitting a written capability statement via email no later than June 26, 2026. Submissions must clearly and convincingly show that competition would benefit the government, and respondents bear all costs associated with preparation and submission. The government retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with sole-source award based on any responses received. The contract is identified under NAICS code 513120, with the primary point of contact being Nelson Vega Beltran at DLA Energy Aerospace in JBSA Lackland, Texas, and no set-aside provisions apply. All responses must be submitted electronically, and the agency will not reimburse any incurred expenses.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy Aerospace intends to award a sole‑source contract to Gas World.com LTD, Trevissome Park, Blackwater, Truro, TR4 8UN, United Kingdom, for a 12‑month subscription to a proprietary industrial gas market intelligence platform. This subscription provides DLA Energy with enterprise‑wide access to consolidated global industrial gas supply, demand, pricing, production, and performance data. The requirement includes 24/7 digital access for up to fifteen (15) authorized users, interactive analytical tools, customizable dashboards, SME support, and continuous system maintenance and database updates.


DLA Energy has determined that Gas World.com LTD is the only known source capable of providing the required proprietary datasets, analytical capabilities, and platform functionality necessary to support DLA Energy’s Aerospace Direct Delivery and Bulk Cryogen programs. The vendor’s platform contains unique, non‑public industrial gas market data and analytical tools not available through any other commercial provider. Due to the specialized nature of the industrial gas market and the proprietary datasets involved, competition is not feasible without significant loss of continuity, data integrity, and analytical capability. Awarding this requirement to another vendor would result in inconsistent market intelligence, reduced visibility into global industrial gas trends, and operational risk to DLA Energy’s mission.


This notice does not constitute a solicitation. However, any interested party that believes it can meet the requirement may submit a capability statement. Capability statements must be submitted in writing and must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by 13 July 2026. Respondents are responsible for all costs associated with preparing and submitting capability information; the Government will not reimburse any costs incurred in response to this notice. 


Capability statements shall be submitted by e‑mail ONLY. 



A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the Government’s discretion.
