(c) Geographic locations: The Port of Hueneme is located in Port Hueneme CA, between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, approximately 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles CA.

(d) Routine requirements:

(1) Bulk Gas: 640,000 per shipment to occur once per year

(e) Peak requirements:

(1) Bulk Gas: 800,000 per shipment to occur once per year. Estimated to occur no more than twice per contract, currently anticipated in contract years 2 and 4

(f) Special delivery equipment requirements:

(1) ISO containers are required due to the unique transportation and operational requirements in Antarctica. Bulk gaseous helium trailers are NOT acceptable.

(i) ISO-Containers will be approximately 40’Lx8’Wx8’H. The ISO Containers must be capable of being lifted by a crane and standard rigging. ISO Containers of 9 to 13 tubes are acceptable with a lesser number of larger capacity tubes preferred if available.

Smaller containers (i.e., 20’ ISO containers) which together provide an equivalent amount of gas of the larger required ISO Containers are not acceptable due to limitations of equipment and hardware required to transport the containers during launch operations.

(ii) Total water volume of each ISO-container will be approximately 880scf.

(iii) Each container will contain a minimum capacity of 140,000 cubic feet of helium.

(iv) Minimum fill pressure will be 2,640 psig at 70 degrees F.

(v) Minimum discharge rate to atmosphere will be 150,000 scf per hour (as long as module pressure is above 1,500 psig).

(vi) ISO-Container plumbing specifications:

(A) ISO-Containers will be equipped with two outlets and valves terminating with a ¾ inch NPT male pipe thread or terminate with two male CGA 1540 fittings. These outlets will be capped off with a ¾ inch female cap. Outlet valves to have a flow coefficient (Cv) of 3.1 or higher.

(B) Header will be equipped with one outlet for gauging pressure, terminating a CGA 580 female fitting.

(C) Working pressure for all headers, outlet piping, and fittings will be 3,000 psi (for 2800 psi fill pressure) or greater.

(D) ISO-Container plumbing will not have check valves or other components that restrict gas flow or impede ISO-Container recharging (by CSBF personnel if required).

(E) All valves will be pressure and leak tested. All valves will be tested prior to fill to assure seats are in good working order.

(F) A tube diagram will be provided to CSBF prior to shipment (normally during pre-shipment coordination). A report on the pressure in each ISO-Container tube will be supplied to CSBF prior to shipment. The water volumes of each ISO-Container tube will be provided to CSBF prior to shipment.

(2) If the Contractor is required to lease ISO containers specifically to support this location, the rental charges will be for the entire term of the contract (base period plus any exercised options) as identified in the Schedule. If an ISO container is retained by the location past the end of the contract period (awaiting shipment back to Port Hueneme), the rental rate will be calculated with a yearly rate increase of the same percentage as for the last year of the contract. If a tube is required to be removed from an ISO container to comply with DOT weight restrictions, the cost to perform this operation will be charged as designated in the Schedule. The removed tube will not be required to be reinstalled on the ISO container for the remainder of the contract. This fee will be assessed on an as needed basis and should include the effort to reinstall the tube at the conclusion of the contract.

(g) Special access requirements: Drivers required to be U.S. Citizens

(h) Government furnished equipment: None.

(i) Special delivery conditions:

(1) A shipment of gaseous helium in ISO containers to Antarctica is required annually to support NASA's Long Duration Balloon Program. The amount of helium required is estimated to can vary between 640,000 and 800,000 standard cubic feet (4 to 5 ISO containers at 160,000 scf each) depending on the planned flight program and other factors such as balloon launch aborts and unexpected loss of gas while containers are stored in Antarctica. See “Special Delivery Equipment Requirements” for ISO container requirements. The shipments are sent via ocean transit using a ship commissioned by the National Science Foundation (NSF). There is only one ship per year. All ocean shipments originate from the Port of Hueneme, located at Port Hueneme California. Depending on loading schedule, the trailers the ISO containers are delivered on to Port Hueneme may be offloaded upon delivery or retained for up to 3 weeks.

The vessel departs in early December, arrives at McMurdo Station in mid-January, and returns to Port Hueneme in March. This round trip ocean transit occurs only once per year. Helium ISO containers must be delivered to the Port of Hueneme no later than mid-November each year. CSBF typically initiates a purchase order for the desired number of ISO-Containers no later than August of each year to allow for adequate coordination prior to shipment. In a nominal year, CSBF typically orders 4-5 ISO-Containers (640,000-800,000 scf gaseous helium).

The first yearly shipment under the contract is anticipated to require a “Routine” requirement of 640,000 scf of gaseous helium (4 ISO Containers).

(2) NASA/CSBF launches balloons from McMurdo Station starting in December. The helium shipped via sea from Port Hueneme in December is intended for use one year later. At the conclusion of the launch period (approximately the end of December or in January) any empty containers are delivered to the port at McMurdo Station for return shipment to Port Hueneme. An ISO container shipped in December from Port Hueneme will not be returned to the United States for approximately 15 months. Based on current operational plans, CSBF typically requires 7 ISO-Containers on site in Antarctica during the October-December period.

Therefore, due to shipping logistics, the contractor may be required to have as many as 12 ISO-Containers dedicated for NASA use: 5 in shipment (between December and March) and 7 on site in McMurdo Station, Antarctica supporting the launches.
