Liquid Nitrogen Delivery (LN2)The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is seeking to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Roberts Oxygen for the provision of bulk liquid nitrogen supply, monitoring, and refill services at its Bethesda, Maryland facility. The contract includes a one-year base period with two additional one-year option periods, totaling up to three years of service. Roberts Oxygen is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting NIDDK’s operational needs due to its current integration with existing infrastructure, proven reliability in maintaining uninterrupted nitrogen supplies, and ability to proactively monitor tank levels and schedule deliveries without disruption. Switching suppliers would necessitate costly equipment modifications, extensive personnel retraining, and expose critical, temperature-sensitive research materials to significant risk of damage or loss, making continuation with the current provider essential. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1, as no other entity can satisfy the agency’s unique compatibility and continuity requirements. While the procurement is strictly sole-source, the government is soliciting capability statements from interested parties—including small businesses, 8(a) concerns, HUBZone, SDVOSB, VOSB, WOSB, and SDB firms—to assess whether a competitive approach might be feasible. Submissions must be received by July 22, 2026, and will be reviewed solely to determine if competition is viable; submission does not guarantee a competitive solicitation will be opened. The contract opportunity is listed under solicitation number 75N98026Q00710 with a NAICS code of 325120, and primary point of contact is Towanda Daniels at the Department of Health and Human Services office in Bethesda. The notice is a presolicitation and not an invitation for competitive bids.
