C. [Contract Type:]{.underline} This is a fixed-price, requirements-type
contract.

D. [Minimum/Maximum Limitations and Routine Order Quantity:]{.underline}

(1) *Minimum order.* None. However, the government will endeavor to
    order in container sized increments; i.e. a liquid dewar (30, 60,
    100, 200 or 500 liters), a gas cylinder, a bulk gas trailer or a
    bulk liquid tanker.

(2) *Maximum order.* The Contractor is not obligated to honor --

    a.  Any order for a single item in excess of the peak requirements
        specified in Article 3 at a particular delivery point;

    b.  Any order for a combination of items in excess of the peak
        requirements specified in Article 3 for all delivery points
        aggregated; or

    c.  A series of orders from the same ordering office within 10 days
        that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in
        subparagraph (a) or (b) of this section.

(3) This is a requirements contract (i.e. includes the Requirements
    clause at subsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation
    (FAR)), the Government is not required to order a part of any one
    requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds the
    maximum order limitations in paragraph (2) of this section.

(4) Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and (3) of this section, the
    Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the maximum order
    limitations in paragraph (2), unless that order (or orders) is
    returned to the ordering office within 2 days after issuance, with
    written notice stating the Contractor's intent not to ship the item
    (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving this notice,
    the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another
    source.

**[Article 2.]{.underline}** **[Period of Performance]{.underline}**

The period of performance of this contract is from October 1, 2002 to
September 30, 2005. There are two

option periods available which, if exercised, extend the period of
performance as follows:

Option 1 October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006

Option 2 October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007

The Government may, at its option and subject to the availability of
appropriated funds, require the Contractor to provide con­tinued,
uninterrupted performance for the option periods specified herein, and
at the prices specified in this contract.

The Contracting Officer may exercise these options by written
modification to this contract before the current contract perfor­mance
period expires; provided that the Government shall give the Contractor
written notice of intent to exercise the option at least thirty (30)
days before the contract expires. The notice shall not commit the
Government to exercise the option, nor shall the failure to provide such
timely notice waive the Government\'s right to exercise such options in
the absence of objection by the Contractor.

It is understood that any continued performance from period to period
shall be at the sole determination of the Government and will be
contingent upon prior satisfactory performance. Failure to exercise an
option of this contract for any subsequent period of performance shall
not be considered as a termination for the convenience of the
Government. The total duration of this contract, including any options
exercised under this clause, shall not exceed 5 years.

**ROUTINE REQUIREMENTS: N/A**

**PEAK REQUIREMENTS:** Bulk gaseous helium is required at Dryden Flight
Research Center (DFRC), Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), California, in
the event of a Space Shuttle Orbiter landing. DFRC/EAFB is an alternate
landing site for the Space Shuttle Orbiters. There are approximately 5
shuttle flights per year, which may result in a landing at DFRC/EAFB.

The contractor will be given 10 days notice to prepare requirements for
"stand-by" status. The government may cancel the order at any time, or
order delivery of the trailers to DFRC, thus ending the "stand-by"
period. Upon request for delivery, the contractor will have 24 hours to
deliver the trailers to the landing site as directed by the Requirement
Point of Contact.

The nominal helium requirement for shuttle landing support is
approximately 150,000 scf at 2250 psig minimum.

**ROUTINE DELIVERY HOURS:** 6:00 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.(local time) Monday thru
Friday

**EMERGENCY DELIVERY HOURS:** 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

**ROUTINE REQUIREMENTS: N/A**

**PEAK REQUIREMENTS:** KSC receives its helium requirements in bulk
liquid tankers under normal operating conditions. In the event of a
failure at the KSC Converter Compressor Facility that would preclude
conversion of bulk liquid helium supplies, the contingency plan requires
delivery of bulk gaseous helium by tube trailers.

The contingency requirement consists of two parts. The first part is a
contingency to provide "routine" (non-launch) support and is as follows:

Contractor shall provide up to a volume of 330,000 scf of bulk gaseous
helium, (400 psig minimum, not to exceed 6000 psig) delivered twice per
week, first delivery occurring 48 hours after notification. It is
expected that each delivery volume (330,000 scf) would be offloaded
within 3 days and the empty tube trailers would be available for drop
and swap.

The second part is a contingency to provide launch operations support
per the Shuttle launch schedule (approximately 5 launches per year) and
is as follows:

Contractor shall provide a volume of 330,000 scf of bulk gaseous helium,
(400 psig minimum, not to exceed 6000 psig) delivered every 5 hours
maximum, first delivery occurring 48 hours after notification. The total
volume required for each launch contingency is 1,500,000 scf.

The contractor will be given 10 days notice to prepare an appropriate
number of tube trailers, as requested by the Requirement Point of
Contact, for "stand-by" status. The requested trailers should contain a
minimum volume of 180,000 scf.

The government may cancel the order at any time, or order delivery of
the trailers to KSC, thus ending the "stand-by" charges. Upon request
for delivery, the contractor will have 48 hours to deliver the trailers
to KSC as directed by the Requirement Point of Contact. Charges for the
helium product used and mileage are set forth in Contract Table Article
23. A. Residual credit in accordance with Article 23.G. applies.

**SPECIAL DELIVERY EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:**

**SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIREMENTS (e.g. Security):** Entry into KSC is
restricted to badged personnel only. Provisions for badging delivery
personnel must be arranged through security.

thru Friday

**EMERGENCY DELIVERY HOURS:** 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

**ROUTINE REQUIREMENTS:**

Dewar Liquid -- 2,000 liters per month in 250 liter dewars

> 4,000 liters per week in large dewar (see Special Delivery Equipment
> Requirements). This qty to increase to 16,000 liters per week for
> Contract Year 2004-2007

maximum allowable pressure of 4,500 psig. Typical receiver vessel
pressure at time of delivery is 350 psig. Typical delivery unload time
is seven hours.

Cylinder Gas -- 1540 scf per month

**PEAK REQUIREMENTS:**

Dewar Liquid -- 3,000 liters per week in 250 liter dewars

8,000 liters per week in large dewar (estimate 12 times per year) with
no more than 8000 liters per days. This qty to increase to 32,000 liters
per week for Contract Year 2004-2007. (estimate 12 times per year) with
no more than 8000 liters per days. See Special Delivery Equipment
Requirements for minimum required size of large dewar.

Bulk Gas - 24,000 scf per month. The usage for bulk helium equates to
approximately 1 large trailer per year, Cylinder Gas - 3100 scf per
month

**SPECIAL DELIVERY EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:** For Contract 2003, a 1000
gallon minimum capacity is required for the large dewar requirement. For
Contract Year 2004-2007, the capacity requirement of the large dewar
will increase to a minimum of 3000 gallons. This change in large dewar
capacity requirement is the result of the initiation of operations in a
new facility at LaRC scheduled for early Contract Year 2004. The large
dewar for Contract Year 2004-2007 should be a self contained wheeled
trailer design, vs drop off container, to facilitate usage in the new
facility.

**[ARTICLE 14]{.underline} [DELIVERY ORDER PROCEDURES]{.underline}**

A. To the maximum extent possible, the Contracting Officer or authorized
Contracting Point of Contact (CPC) for the respective delivery points
specified in Article 3., will issue written delivery orders (DOs) prior
to the first day of the month, quarter, or other mutually acceptable
period of time, to cover the delivery point's projected requirement for
the period. The DOs will be issued in writing and will include:

1\. Estimated quantity of product to be delivered during the effective
period of the order. The Con­tractor shall not deliver more than this
quantity without the prior approval of the Contracting Officer or the
respective CPC.

2\. Contract Number and Delivery Order Number.

3\. Period in which deliveries shall be made pur­suant to such orders.

4\. Receiving destination(s).

5\. Necessary shipping instructions, including \"Mark For\" data.

6\. The delivery order value and the total funds avail­able.

B. Amendments to delivery orders will be issued in the same manner as
original orders with an alpha suffix added. In emergencies or special
situations, the Contracting Officer or CPC may issue orders orally or by
facsimile. The Contracting Officer or CPC will promptly execute a
written DO or amendment to confirm all oral or facsimile orders.

C. The CPC will send 2 copies of all delivery orders and amendments to:

> NASA/KSC
>
> Mailcode: TA-E1-B/Attn: Tom Elam
>
> Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899

D. A Request for Shipment (RFS) for helium supplies against the written
DOs will be issued by the Requirements Point of Contact (RPC) at each of
the delivery points specified in Article 3. All such RFSs from the RPCs
are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event
of a conflict between a delivery order and this contract, the contract
shall control. When an RPC makes a RFS against a DO issued as specified
in A., above, the Contractor agrees to initiate the shipment of product
as promptly as is necessary to ensure that the specified product can be
delivered to the destination by the time and/or date required. The
normal receiving hours for the delivery points are specified in Article
3. However, when required by any order placed under this contract, the
Contractor agrees to deliver product seven days a week, 24 hours a day,
including all holidays.

E.  Unless otherwise specified in Article 3., a verbal RFS against the
    written DO will be placed by the RPC via telephone with a minimum of
    48 hours notice.

F.  The contractor shall bill the receiving destination as specified on
    the DO. The Finance Point of Contact (FPC) will coordinate all
    funding and payment issues and provide 2 copies of certified
    invoices to the address in section C. above.

G. In the event of a conflict, the contractor shall try to resolve all
issues with the receiving destination's CPC first. If the parties are
unable to reach a mutually acceptable solution, the Contracting Officer
will evaluate the issues presented by the parties and render a final
decision.

**[ARTICLE 15]{.underline} [GOVERNMENT\'S INABILITY TO ACCEPT
DELIVERY]{.underline}**

When the contractor makes a delivery to a single destination and the
delivery conveyance cannot be accepted due to receiving facility
problems or for other reasons under the control of the receiving
organization, and through no fault of the Contractor, product charges
will not be incurred; however, transportation charges will be paid for
the round-trip mileage from the source to the receiving point, based on
the current Rand-McNally Practical Routing Mileage Guide. Transportation
charges will be as specified in Article 23.A.

**[ARTICLE 16]{.underline} [MATERIAL INSPECTION AND RECEIVING
REPORT]{.underline}**

At the time of each delivery under this contract, the Contractor shall
furnish to the Government a Material Inspection and Receiv­ing Report
(MIRR) DD Form 250 or equivalent commercial invoice, prepared in three
copies (original and two copies). The Contractor may submit a commercial
document provided it contains equivalent information in the same level
of detail as the DD250. If the Contractor elects to use the DD Form 250,
it shall be prepared in accordance with NASA FAR Supplement 1846.672-1.
The Contractor shall include with each MIRR a laboratory analysis report
pertaining to each shipment.

The laboratory analysis report shall be performed at the loading point
of the conveyance for each shipment made under this contract. In case of
liquid helium dewar shipments, as long as the dewars are filled directly
from a liquid helium tanker (and not some intermediate tank) the
analysis can be conducted on the liquid helium tanker at the point of
tanker loading. The analysis for the dewar shipment will reflect the
tanker analysis the dewars were filled from. If multiple tankers are
used to fill a dewar shipment, the analysis paperwork for all tankers
will be provided with traceability between tankers and dewars. In the
event laboratory facilities are not available to perform this analysis
at the loading point, the Contractor will make arrangements to have the
analysis performed at a location approved by the Contracting Officer. In
any event, the analysis results shall be attached to the DD Form 250, or
equivalent commercial document.

Contractor shall overprint, in an appropriate space on each DD Form 250,
or equivalent commercial form, any applicable tanker unloading demurrage
involved in accordance with this contract. Such demurrage will be
certified by personnel of the receiving activity who are not in the
employ of the Contractor. At the Government's option, and when
available, Government personnel may be required to certify demurrage
charges.

A Certificate of Conformance (C of C) shall accompany each delivery to
verify product quality and quantity. The Contractor's quality assurance
representative shall sign and date the Certificate of Conformance to
verify quantity, quality, and proper documentation (analysis report,
etc.) at origin. The signed Certificate of Conformance shall be attached

shall occur upon signoff by the receiving destination on the appropriate
MIRR.

**[ARTICLE 19.]{.underline} [METHOD OF MEASUREMENT FOR
BILLING]{.underline}**

[1. Liquid Helium]{.underline}: Determining the quantity of product
delivered for billing purposes shall be accomplished in accordance with
the following procedures. Scales used in determining weights as required
by these procedures shall be certified and must meet all specifications
and user requirements and tolerance as stated in the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44. The maximum error will
not exceed plus or minus

two-tenth of one percent of the load being weighed. Such scales will be
calibrated yearly and records of this

calibration will be maintained for a minimum of one year and made
available to the Contracting Officer or his designated representative
upon request.

The tare weight will be subtracted from the gross weight and the
resulting figure will be net amount for which the government will pay. A
copy of the contractor certified weight ticket(s), with shipment number
and trailer/container number affixed, will accompany the MIRR for
payment.

[2. Gaseous Helium]{.underline}: The contractor shall utilize Bureau of
Mines Information Circular 8367, "Computing Volume of Helium In
Cylindrical Steel Containers at 10 to 10,000 PSIA of April 1997 to
determine the amount of helium supplied. The contractor's utilization a
computerized measurement system utilizing calculations based on the
Bureau of Mines Information Circular 8367 will be considered acceptable.

[3. Alternate Method]{.underline}: The Contractor may utilize a method
of product measurement, other than those set forth above, provided it is
first approved, and authorized in writing, by the Contracting Officer.

**[ARTICLE 20.]{.underline} [PAYMENT]{.underline}**:

Invoices for payment shall be submitted after each calendar month of
performance, or portion thereof, if applicable. The Contractor will
ensure that all billings comply with this contract. Each item billed
will appear as a separate line on the invoice.

Charges for temporary ancillary equipment and/or services will be
invoiced as a separate line item from helium deliveries.

The original and two copies of each invoice, together with two fully
executed copies of each MIRR (with applicable weight ticket or
pressure/temperature reading) will be submitted by the contractor to the
Delivery Point's Requirement Point of Contact (RPC) specified in Article
3, for certification of receipt. The invoice will then be forwarded by
the certifying RPC to the Delivery Point's Finance Point of Contact
(FPC) for payment, with a copy provided to the Delivery Point
Contracting Point of Contact (CPC). Two courtesy copies of the certified
invoice must be forwarded to:

> National Aeronautics & Space Administration

John F. Kennedy Space Center

TA-E1-B/Attn: Tom Elam

Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899

These two courtesy copies must be submitted by the Delivery Points FPC
or the FPC may delegate this responsibility to the RPC certifying the
invoice. The Contractor agrees to provide any additional information
requested by the Points of Contact specified in Article 3., to
substantiate billings from the Contractor.

**[ARTICLE 21]{.underline} [FUNDING]{.underline}**

Funding will be provided by the delivery points identified in Article
3., through the issuance of delivery orders. The contractor shall not
deliver product unless adequate funding has been obligated by a
Contracting Point of Contact.

**[ARTICLE 22]{.underline} [ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT FOR CRUDE
HELIUM]{.underline}**

The pricing of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) crude helium is set by
the Secretary of the Department Interior through the BLM and is
currently done on a yearly basis for the following Fiscal Year (Oct 1 --
Sep 30), which matches the contract years. As this actual BLM crude
pricing is not set for the full term of the contract, estimated BLM
crude pricing established by the Contracting Officer was used to
establish the pricing of this contract.

When the yearly BLM helium pricing is announced for the following
contract year, the Contracting Officer will make an economic price
adjustment (either increase or decrease) based on the difference between
the estimated BLM crude price used to set the original contract pricing
and the actual price announced by the BLM for the following year.

A. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer if, at any time
during contract performance, the price

of crude helium, as set by the Secretary of the Department of the
Interior, either increases or decreases **outside of the yearly BLM
Crude Price adjustment.** The Contractor shall furnish this notice
within 60 days after the increase or decrease, or within any additional
period that the Contracting Officer may approve in writing, but not
later than the date of final payment under this contract. The notice
shall include the Contractor's proposal for an adjustment in the
contract unit prices to be negotiated under paragraph B. of this
article, and shall include, in the form required by the Contracting
Officer, supporting data explaining the cause, effective date, and
amount of the increase or decrease and the amount of the Contractor's
adjustment proposal.

B. Promptly after the Contracting Officer receives the notice and data
under paragraph A. of this article, the Contracting Officer and the
Contractor shall negotiate a price adjustment in the contract unit
prices and its effective date. However, the Contracting Officer may
postpone the negotiations until an accumulation of increases and
decreases in the price of crude helium results in an adjustment
allowable under subparagraph C.3. of this article. The Contracting
Officer shall modify this contract (1) to include the price adjustment
and its effective date and (2) to revise the unit prices of helium in
the schedule to reflect the increases or decreases resulting from the
adjustment. The Contractor shall continue performance pending agreement
on, or determination of any adjustment and its effective date.

C. Any price adjustment under this article is subject to the following
limitations:

1\. Any adjustment shall be limited to the effect on unit prices of the
increase(s) or decrease(s) in the price of crude helium as set by the
Secretary of the Department of the Interior. There shall be no
adjustment for (1) changes in the production cost of refining helium,
(2) changes in the transportation cost of helium, (3) changes in the
storage cost of helium, or (4) changes in any overhead costs or other
indirect costs.

2\. No upward adjustment shall apply to orders for helium that are
required to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment,
unless the Contractor's failure to deliver according to the delivery
schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor's control and without
its fault or negligence, within the meaning of FAR 52.212-4(f),
Excusable Delays.

3\. There shall be no adjustment for any change in the price of crude
helium of less than 2 percent of the current unit price of crude helium,
as set by the Secretary of the Department of the Interior.

D. The Contractor shall include with the final invoice a certification
that the Contractor either (1) has not

experienced a decrease in the price of crude helium, or (2) has given
notice of all such decreases in compliance

with paragraph A. of this clause.
