Exit 62A off I-40 is Helium road. Probably named after that place. Same exit is also Hope road.

If that is what it takes to make sure I have access to helium I'm in. However I better run this one by the wife first. She was OK with me buying a compressor and booster years ago. This should be OK with her as well.

$5 million refundable deposit to register to bid. I reckon we could scrounge that up.

This pending privatization of the federal helium reserve is a large driver of the instability in the price of helium

Is the facility even active? It looks like it is idled.

Pretty sure if they are selling it off it is not active. Surprised that it was USG owned and operated, rather than contractor.

I wouldn't be surprised if at the very least the technical aspects were operated by contractors. You see that a lot at the military ammunition factories, you have a handful of Federal employees with contractors actually running all the production processes.
