What you'll learn
- On 5 August 2026 the United States Department of War announced that Hudson Technologies Co.
- had been awarded a maximum $210,399,912 indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for industrial gas and cylinders, replacing an award of 22 October 2025 that the agency had rescinded after a competitor filed a bid protest.
- The published maximum is a ceiling on ordering, not a purchase: it stands against consolidated revenues of $246.6 million for Hudson’s 2025 financial year and against $38.2 million of revenue the company actually recognised from this customer in the same year.
