80KSC020Q0009 Attachment 001 Xenon Specifications
Specifications Background NASA requires 280,000 Liters (1,410 Kilograms) of 99.9995% propulsion-grade xenon in support of the Psyche mission. NASA may acquire the total quantity from one vendor or as a combination of one quarter and/or one half fractions from multiple vendors. The xenon shall be delivered in gas cylinders provided by the vendor.
The vendor shall provide the following:
1. Propulsion-grade xenon, purity 99.9995%, in accordance with Reference 1*.
2. Quantity: 70,000 Liters (352.5 Kg), 140,000 Liters (705 Kg), 210,000 Liters (1,057.5
Kg), or 280,000 Liters (1,410 Kg).
3. Xenon shall be delivered in gas cylinders, commonly referred to as Type K cylinders, with a water volume of approximately 44-49 Liters.
4. Each xenon gas cylinder shall include documentation for the quantity of xenon, in kg, per cylinder as well as the tare weight of each cylinder, in Kg.
5. Gas cylinders shall include a rare gas valve or bellows-sealed valve to eliminate stem leakage. External connection shall be a CGA-580 fitting.
6. Cylinders provided by the vendor shall become property of the Government.
7. The contents of each gas cylinder shall be analyzed individually to verify it meets the requirements in Reference 1. A certificate of analysis shall be included with each gas cylinder.
8. Xenon can be delivered per the vendor’s preferred delivery schedule provided all xenon is delivered no later than 10/31/2021.
9. Delivery shall be to:
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) 4800 Oak Grove Drive Pasadena, CA 91109
