\(a\) The Government desires delivery to be made according to the
following schedule:

> DESIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

WITHIN DAYS AFTER DATE

ITEM NO. QUANTITY OF CONTRACT AWARD

**1 1 JOB 20**

If the offeror is unable to meet the desired delivery schedule, it may,

extend the delivery period beyond the time for delivery in the
Government\'s required delivery schedule as follows:

**1 1 JOB 30**

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the
    solicitation that provides that a written award or

> acceptance of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful
> offeror results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or
> otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later
> than the day the award is dated. Therefore, the offeror shall compute
> the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of
> award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received
> from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the
> Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the
> Contractor\'s date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by
> adding (1) five days for delivery of the award through the ordinary
> mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the
> contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The
> term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.)

STATEMENT OF WORK

**INSPECTION AND CLEANING**

**TUBE BANK SKID**

**TBS-510-HE**

1.  SUMMARY

> The work to be performed under this project consists of the
> inspection, cleaning, testing, and delivery to
>
> Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, at the E-3 Test Complex, of an
> eight tube bank skid from Stennis Space
>
> Center (SSC) designated as TBS-510-HE. The skid consists of 8, ICC
> 3AAX tubes, 6,000 psig, 12.75-inch OD,
>
> 10.74-inch ID, 34'-4" feet long, 21.7 CFWV per tube with a total
> volume of 200 CFWV
>
> The eight tubes were DOT certified 9/98 by FIBA using acoustic
> emission with a test pressure of 7,260 psig.
>
> DOT recerification due date is 9/2003.
>
> The eight tubes have the following serial numbers: 4775-41, 4775-11,
> 4775-8, 4775-17, 4775-42, 4775-10, 4775-40,
>
> and 4775-39. (At present, it is not known if this tube bank has been
> is service since its 1998 certification.
>
> Presently, there is a gas blanket on the tubes, but the blanket gas is
> unknown.)
>
> The tube bank skid shall be used in nitrogen or helium service
> providing gas pressurization to oxidizer systems
>
> consisting of hydrogen peroxide and LOX.

>
> at any time.

5.  INSPECTION & CLEANING

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
A.  Disassemble skid and inspect tubes. Externally and internally
    > visually inspect each tube and note any

> defects following CGA C-6 guidelines. Methodology to evaluate defects
> shall include boroscopic and
>
> ultrasonic techniques.

B.  Upon removal the cylinder threads will be checked in accordance with
    > FED-STD H28.

C.  Remove all valves and plugs from cylinders. Immediately return the
    > valves to SSC.

D.  The Contractor shall notify NASA of any gaskets or softgoods that
    > require replacement. Provide specification

> and dimensional requirements for all softgoods requiring replacement.
> NASA shall provide gaskets
>
> and/or softgoods.

E.  The Contractor shall clean the tube bank skid for gaseous nitrogen
    > and helium service to a level conforming

> to SSC STD 79-001 Level 1. The cleaning and verification solvents
> shall be compatible with requirements for
>
> oxidizer systems as specified in SSC STD 79-001. The Contractor shall
> submit to the Contracting Officer for
>
> approval cleaning, verification and packaging procedures that shall
> ensure and verify that cleanliness requirements
>
> are met. Sample volumes for particulate and NVR analyses as specified
> in section 6.1 of SSC-STD 79-001
>
> shall be performed on each of the eight tubes. Failure of a sample
> would require only the failed cylinder to
>
> be recleaned and tested.

F.  Any gases used required for cleaning shall meet the requirements of
    > SSC-STD 79-002.

G.  Reassemble skid. Plugs and components necessary for transportation
    > requirements specified in Paragraph 7.0

> shall meet cleanliness requirements of SSC-STD 79-001. Any items that
> are shipped loose shall be packaged
>
> per SSC DWG 54000-GP11.

H.  Written certification that the cleaning was performed as specified
    > is required.

```
A.  Upon return to SSC, the tube bank skid shall be configured with a
    > manifold consisting of tubing and isolation

> valves and leak tested to 6,000 psig by NASA. The Contractor shall be
> responsible for repair of any cylinder
>
> components that leak.

> Stennis Space Center, E-3 Test Facility. The safe transportation of
> the tube bank shall comply with Federal,
>
> state and local codes and regulations.

B.  All cylinders shall be returned to SSC with a positive positive
    > blanket pressure of 20 psig of "clean"

> nitrogen in accordance with SSC-STD 79-002. A calibrated pressure
> gauge shall be installed such that
>
> the internal pressure on all cylinders can be monitored during
> shipment and storage. The gauge shall be
>
> calibrated to have an accuracy of **±** 1 psi. Certification
> documentation is required for the quality of
>
> nitrogen gas used.

C.  Others shall unload the tube bank after delivery to SSC.
