Trailer Reactant Gas Supply for HLS Fuel Cell Testing

Background
This contract is a sole source requirement for the procurement of trailer reactant gas supply necessary for HLS fuel cell testing.
The agency is focused on supporting the operational needs of Building 334, which requires specific gases for testing purposes.

Work Details
The contractor will be responsible for the rental of hydrogen and oxygen tube trailers as specified in the Statement of Work.
The requirements include:
- Hydrogen (MIL-PRF-27201E) with a purity of 99.995%, requiring a tube trailer capacity of 120,000 SCF for a duration of 7 months.
- Oxygen (MIL-PRF-25508J Grade A) with a purity of 99.6%, requiring a tube trailer capacity of 60,000 SCF for a duration of 7 months.
The contractor must ensure that the gases meet the specified military performance standards and are delivered in accordance with the outlined requirements.

Period of Performance
The contract will be performed over a period of 7 months starting from June 22, 2026.

Place of Performance
Building 334

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must ensure that they can provide the specified gases in compliance with military performance standards (MIL-PRF-27201E for hydrogen and MIL-PRF-25508J for oxygen).

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior contract 80NSSC26P0039 awarded to Delille Oxygen Co for “renewal of O2/H2 reactant trailer rentals” (12/04/25–07/04/26, $49,000) indicates a confirmed incumbent providing hydrogen and oxygen reactant gas trailer rentals. The current sole-source requirement similarly calls for rental supply of hydrogen and oxygen tube trailers for HLS fuel cell testing over a 7-month period, with the same general reactant trailer rental function appearing to be a continuation of the earlier O2/H2 support.
