Hudson Technologies (NASDAQ: HDSN) extends key DLA contract during rebid
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Hudson Technologies, Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Hudson Technologies Company, received a bridge modification from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency extending the expiration of its existing contract from July 29, 2026 to November 29, 2026. The modification also includes two additional three‑month options that could further extend the agreement to February 28, 2027 and then to May 29, 2027.
The company has served as prime contractor to the DLA since a five‑year contract awarded in July 2016, followed by a five‑year renewal exercised in July 2021. Hudson retained the contract again in October 2025 after a competitive rebid, but in January 2026 the DLA rescinded that 2025 award after a bid protest challenged its evaluation methodology. The new extension allows Hudson to continue providing uninterrupted refrigerant and related services to the DLA while the agency completes its review and rebidding process.

Insights
DLA bridge extension preserves revenue continuity but leaves award outcome uncertain.
Hudson Technologies secured a bridge modification extending its long‑standing DLA contract from July 29, 2026 to November 29, 2026, with two optional three‑month extensions. This maintains its role as prime contractor while the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency completes a new rebid.
The filing notes that Hudson’s 2025 DLA Contract award, won in October 2025, was rescinded in January 2026 after a bid protest questioned the agency’s evaluation methodology. That places the future contract structure in flux even as day‑to‑day service continues under the existing agreement.
For now, the bridge modification avoids an operational gap in services to the DLA and supports ongoing activity under the current terms. The longer‑term impact depends on the final outcome of the rebidding process and any new contract terms the DLA may implement after completing its review.

Exhibit 99.1
HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES receives EXTENSION OF Contract with the united states defense logistics agency
WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – MAY 28, 2026 – Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration industry - and one of the nation’s largest refrigerant reclaimers - today announced that it has received a bridge modification from the United States Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”) extending the expiration date of its existing agreement from July 29, 2026 to November 29, 2026 with the option for two additional three-month extensions through February 28, 2027 and May 29, 2027, if necessary.
In July 2016, Hudson Technologies was awarded, as prime contractor, a five-year contract by the DLA for services including the management, supply, and sale of refrigerants, compressed gases, and cylinders. The contract included a five-year renewal option, which was exercised in July 2021.
In October 2025, Hudson Technologies successfully retained the contract (the “2025 DLA Contract”) following a standard competitive review and rebidding process conducted by the DLA. In January 2026, however, the Company was notified that a bid protest had been filed challenging the DLA’s evaluation methodology and subsequent award to Hudson Technologies. As a result, the DLA rescinded the 2025 DLA Contract award pending completion of its review process.
The contract extension bridges the current agreement while the DLA completes the rebidding process. During this period, Hudson Technologies will continue providing uninterrupted service to the DLA under the existing contract until the review of the 2025 award process and rebid is finalized.
Ken Gaglione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies, commented, “We appreciate the DLA’s continued business and view this contract extension as a strong endorsement of the value Hudson has delivered throughout our more than 10-year relationship. We welcome this extension as an important next step in our longstanding commitment to supporting the DLA and its mission.”
