<\/a><\/figure>NASA has selected Plug Power, Inc., of Slingerlands, New York, and Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., of Allentown, Pennsylvania, to supply up to approximately 36,952,000 pounds of liquid hydrogen for use at facilities across the agency.<\/p>\n
The NASA Agency-wide Supply of Liquid Hydrogen awards are firm-fixed-price requirements contracts that include multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders critical for the agency\u2019s centers as they use liquid hydrogen, combined with liquid oxygen, as fuel in cryogenic rocket engines, and the commodity\u2019s unique properties support the development of aeronautics. The total value for the combined awards is about $147.2 million.<\/p>\n
The contracts begin Monday, Dec. 1, and each consists of a two-year base period followed by three one-year option periods that, if exercised, would extend the contracts to Nov. 30, 2030.<\/p>\n
Air Products and Chemicals Inc. will supply up to about 36.5 million pounds of liquid hydrogen to NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida; NASA\u2019s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama; and NASA\u2019s Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, for a maximum contract value of approximately $144.4 million.<\/p>\n
Plug Power, Inc. will deliver up to approximately 480,000 pounds of the commodity to NASA\u2019s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and at Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio, for a maximum contract value of about $2.8 million.<\/p>\n
