Airgas USA LLC, a women-owned small business, was awarded a five-year firm-fixed-price requirements contract, SPE601-25-D-1515, by the Defense Logistics Agency Energy Aerospace on September 1, 2025. The overarching agreement, valued at over 7.5 million dollars, covers the delivery of aviator breathing oxygen, liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon to 26 locations across the U.S. Southeast Region through June 30, 2030. Performance is governed by strict military standards, including MIL-STD-129 for marking and shipment, and requires adherence to NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 for cybersecurity and the protection of controlled unclassified information. Under this master agreement, delivery order SPE60126FK94J was issued on June 25, 2026, for the procurement of 600 units of aviator's breathing oxygen at a unit price of 1.76, totaling 1,056.00. This specific order, which was later updated via unilateral modification P00001, required delivery to Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, by July 2, 2026. Contract administration is managed through the Wide Area WorkFlow system for invoicing, with inspection occurring at the origin and formal acceptance conducted by the government at the destination.
