Description

This contract awards Wayne State University a five‑year turnkey supply and delivery service for high‑purity (99.998 %) liquid nitrogen to its Chemistry Department, including installation of a new above‑ground bulk storage tank and vaporizer system.

Pricing must be submitted via a detailed Schedule C covering rental fees, per‑unit nitrogen costs, and any ancillary service charges, with annual price‑increase limits. The award will be based on best‑value evaluation of cost, technical capability, and past performance. • Product: 99.998 % liquid nitrogen, ~600,000 scf/month usage. • Scope: Install new bulk tank + vaporizer, maintain keep‑filled deliveries, and handle removal at term end. • Term: April 1 2024 – March 31 2029, with optional 5‑year extension.

RFQ-Bulk-Nitrogen-2024

Contract value

$700,000

The RFQ calls for approximately 600,000 scf of liquid nitrogen per month (≈ 7.2 million scf per year). Industry pricing for bulk liquid nitrogen of 99.998 % purity typically ranges from $0.20 to $0.35 per 100 scf, implying an annual nitrogen cost of roughly $14,400 – $25,200. Adding the rental and service fees for the new bulk tank and vaporizer (estimated at $10,000 – $15,000 per month) yields an annual service cost of about $120,000 – $180,000. Over the 5‑year base term, the total contract value is therefore likely in the range of $650,000 – $900,000. Accounting for installation, regulatory compliance, and contingency, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is approximately $700,000.
