**1808.003-70 Acquisition of radioisotopes.**

\(a\) U.S. Department of Energy Isotope and Technical Service Order Form
CA-10-90.COM, and U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Application for
Material License, NRC Form 313, shall be used to acquire radioisotopes.

\(b\) NRC Form 313 shall be filed with the Chief, Radioisotopes
Licensing Branch, Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety, United
States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555. If the
application meets all regulatory requirements and applicable standards,
the Radioisotopes Licensing Branch, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, will
issue a license to the applicant. After receipt of the license, a
completed DOE Form CA-10-90.COM (in duplicate, if the contracting office
wants an accepted copy of the form back from the supplier), the license,
and a Government bill of lading shall be sent to the appropriate DOE
laboratory. If a bill of lading is not furnished, shipment shall be made
collect on a commercial bill of lading, to be converted at destination.

\(c\) NRC Form 313 and DOE Form CA-10-90.COM may be requisitioned
directly from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Attn:
Radioisotopes Licensing Branch, Division of Fuel Cycle and Material
Safety, Washington, DC 20555.

\(d\) Guidance is available from DOE at URL

.

**1808.003-71 Acquisition** **of** **liquid** **hydrogen.**

Requests for liquid hydrogen shall be submitted to the John F. Kennedy
Space Center, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Kennedy
Space Center, FL 32899, Attn: Director of Logistics Operations.

**1808.003-72 Acquisition of propellants.**

\(a\) **General.** NASA (and its contractors when authorized in
accordance with 1851.1) may acquire the items listed in paragraph (j) of
this section (except for liquid hydrogen; see 1808.003-71) on a
reimbursable basis from the San Antonio Air Logistics Center (SA-ALC),
Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, under the Air Force Missile Procurement
Fund (MPF). The Air Force MPF shall be used as a supply source for
propellants whenever there are economic or other advantages to the
Government. Field installations and offices obtaining supplies from the
MPF shall comply with the reporting requirements of paragraph (f) of
this section.

\(b\) **Requests for acquisition***.* To obtain the materials listed in
paragraph (j) of this section from the Air Force MPF, NASA contracting
offices will execute a NASA-Interagency Purchase Request (NASA Form 523)
and forward it to Headquarters, SA-ALC, Kelly Air Force Base, TX 78241,
Attention: SFS. The following additional information should be provided
on the form:

\(1\) Contract number (when material is required for use by a NASA
contractor).

\(2\) Delivery address.

\(3\) Mode of transportation (rail, trailer, barge, etc.). When the
procurement request covers requirements for materials not previously
forecasted or covers significant changes to previously reported
requirements, SA-ALC should be notified immediately of such
requirements.

\(c\) **Delivery requests.**

\(1\) A delivery request is a call on the Air Force, made against a
NASA-Interagency Purchase Request (NASA Form 523), specifying the time
and place of delivery. On the basis of the estimated requirements, the
Air Force will notify NASA field installations and contractors of the
name and address of the Air Force office or producing contractor\'s
plant to which requests for delivery of materials shall be made.
Delivery requests may be placed by any means of communication that time
justifies; however, all verbal requests for delivery must be confirmed
in writing within 24 hours. The delivery request, whether oral or
written, must cite the NASA-Interagency Purchase Request number under
which the material is being ordered and contain the following
information:

\(i\) Nomenclature and National Stock Number.

\(ii\) Quantity.

\(iii\) Program, project, and task.

\(iv\) Contract number (when material is required for use by a NASA
contractor).

\(v\) Delivery address.

\(vi\) Dates of delivery.

\(vii\) Mode of transportation.

\(viii\) Location of weighing stations and scales (if weighing of the
products before delivery is required).

\(2\) Each delivery request shall be numbered as follows to simplify
identification and control: the last two digits of the calendar year; a
dash; and a consecutive number beginning with 1 to run throughout the
year (e.g., 89-5, for the fifth request made in 1989). Changes to a
request are identified by adding an alphabetical designator beginning
with (A) to the number.

\(d\) **Receiving procedures***.*

\(1\) **Receiving documents.** Receipt of materials shall be evidenced
on the receiving document received with the shipment by the signature of
an individual authorized by NASA to receive materials from the Air
Force. Every effort should be made to ensure that the NASA-Interagency
Purchase Request number is recorded on the receiving document before
signing.

\(2\) **Weighing facilities.** Local weighing facilities (NASA-owned,
contractor-owned, commercial, or State-operated) may be used to
determine quantities of product received. If a discrepancy exists
between the quantities shown on receiving documents and the quantities
actually received \--

\(i\) A certified weighing ticket evidencing actual weight at
destination shall be obtained; and

\(ii\) A copy of the receiving document (AF Form 857 or DD Form 250) and
the original weighing ticket shall be forwarded to Headquarters, SA-ALC,
Kelly Air Force Base, TX 78241, Attention: ACFOM, identifying the
discrepancy.

\(3\) **Distribution of receipts.** Copies of all receiving documents
except the AF Form 857 shall be transmitted to the Headquarters, SA-ALC,
Kelly Air Force Base, TX 78241, Attention: SACAOM. Receiving documents
may be accumulated and submitted on the 10th, 20th, and last day of each
month.

\(e\) **Billing.** The costs of materials obtained through the MPF are
reimbursable. After delivery, a Standard Form 1080 (Voucher for
Transfers Between Appropriations and/or Funds (Disbursement)), supported
by documentary evidence of delivery, will be submitted by Headquarters,
SA-ALC to the NASA installation designated in the NASA Form 523.

\(f\) **Reporting requirements.**

\(1\) Field installations shall submit periodic estimates of
requirements for materials listed in paragraph (j) of this section for
all programs under their cognizance, including in-house contractor
requirements. Reports shall be submitted in duplicate on AF Form 858,
Forecast of Propellant Requirements.

\(2\) The reports shall be forwarded no later than June 1 and December 1
to reach Headquarters, SA-ALC, Kelly AFB, TX 78241, Attn: SFS.
Supplemental reports advising of additions to or significant changes in
previous reports may be submitted at any time. The reports, covering all
materials listed in paragraph (j) of this section, due in June and
December, shall begin with requirements as of the following July 1 and
January 1, respectively, and shall cover a 3-year period. Requirements
shall be shown by month for the first 6 months, and by quarters for the
remaining 2-1/2-year period.

\(3\) Estimated requirements and other pertinent data required from
contractors shall be obtained on Air Force Form 858.

\(g\) **Report content.** Reports shall be made using a separate report
form for each material and shall provide, for each item of material, the
\--

\(1\) Contract number;

\(2\) Program and/or project;

\(3\)  Specific task within the project;

\(4\)  End use when not associated with the named program or project;

\(5\)  Contractor\'s name;

\(6\)  Specific location of use (shipping destination); and

\(7\)  Planned source of supply.

\(h\) **Basis for developing materials requirements.** In computing
requirements, consideration shall be given to such elements as lead
time, waste factors, transfer, and storage losses so that phased
requirements reflect the total gross quantities required to be delivered
to the use or storage site. Since the requirements estimates are being
used by other Government agencies acting as supply sources to contract
for materials, estimates must be as accurate as possible.

\(i\) **NASA coordination.** The Kennedy Space Center shall coordinate
the review of all data and establish NASA policy and procedures. The
data shall be used as the basis for NASA requirements reports to various
Government agencies for planning and supply support.

\(j\) **Table of reportable materials.**
