Description
Solicitation has been Amended to clarify:
AMENDMENT 0001 ISSUED TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING CLARIFICATIONS: Statement: "Allowances for gases will be spread over 2 years" is clarified to read "Allowances for gases will be spread over 2027 and 2028" All cylinders and gases will be provided by the contractor. Any references to the government providing cylinders OR gases is hereby removed. ______________________________
An additional document has been added to this listing to include questions/answers in response to the solicitaiton.
The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (AIM Act) targets several Hydrofluorocarbon gasses for phase down of production as previously occurred with Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS). As many weapon platforms within the Department of Defense moved from ODS to HFCs, the need has arisen to ensure a sustainable supply of these Mission Critical compressed gases is available. Projected need extends beyond the year 2060. To that end, The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will initiate a large acquisition of two (2) mission critical virgin HFC compressed gases, determined by the Services to be the most critical at this time; Heptafluropropane (HFC-227ea) and Hexafluoropropane (HFC-R236fa). These items will be placed in static storage at DLA, Richmond, Virginia until such time as they are needed.
DLA intends to award a firm fixed price contract supporting the HFC gases listed below.
