Three companies have won spots on a potential three-year, $149 million contract to provide helium products to various NASA facilities.
Air Products and Chemicals, Messer and Linde will supply 87.7 million standard cubic feet of gaseous helium and 1.4 million liters of liquid helium in support of the International Space Station program, the Artemis lunar exploration mission and other agencywide efforts, NASA said Friday.
The multiple-award contract has a two-year base period and a one-year option that would extend the contract performance through Sept. 30, 2025.
