## Description

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 weapons 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 gasses 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 gasses, determined by the Services to be the most critical at this time; Heptafluropropane (HFC?227ea) and Hexafluoropropane (HFC?R236fa). These two items will be placed in a static storage at DLA, Richmond, Virginia until such time as they are needed. HFC Solicitation SPE4A2-24-R-0015 was posted on 8/1/2024. Offers due on 8/30/2024. Amendment SPE4A2-24-R-0015-0001 was posted on 8/21/2024. Updated summary of questions and answers for this solicitation as of 8/23/2024. (End of notice)
