PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Custom Sampling Station Development, Manufacturing, and Processing Support for the Submarine Atmosphere Health Assessment Program

1. Scope of Work The Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL) continues to research the health effects exposure to the enclosed submarine atmosphere through the Submarine Atmosphere Health Assessment Program (SAHAP). SAHAP deploys passive chemical dosimeters (sampling stations) onboard operating US Navy submarines to determine concentrations of various compounds in the atmosphere. These found concentrations are then compared to established Navy 90-day limits. NSMRL requires contracted laboratory support to develop, manufacture, and process the custom passive chemical dosimeters – hereby referred to as Sampling Stations – that are required to sample the atmosphere in the dynamic submarine environment, on an as-needed basis.

2. Definitions and Terms Analyte – A substance or chemical compound that is of interest in an analytical procedure.

Sampling Media – A material designed to absorb specific Analytes from the atmosphere to measure its concentration and therefore exposure over time.

Sampling Disk Filters – A filter attached to each Air Sampling Disk, made from different materials that determine the exposure rate of the Sampling Media below it.

Air Sampling Disk – A plastic disk containing Sampling Media, a filter designed to generate different exposure rates, and a plastic cap attached with a hinge.

Sampling Station – A grouping of Air Sampling Disks, attached together, which can be hung in a single location to measure exposure to multiple Analytes in the atmosphere over a predetermined period of time.

3. Support Requirements The contracted laboratory shall develop, manufacture, and deliver Sampling Stations according to the specifications below, as required and ordered by NSMRL.

The contracted laboratory shall process and deliver data reports on all Sampling Stations once returned by NSMRL after exposure.

3.1. Manufacturing and Delivery Requirements

NSMRL will order up to 1200 Sampling Stations from the contractor per year. The quantity and type of sampling stations in each order may vary. 5-day and 28-day exposure rates are required.

NSMRL will select groups of five (5) or six (6) Air Sampling Disks and Sampling Disk Filters, based on project data requirements, within each order. Air Sampling Disks will be chosen from the options/list provided in section 3.1.3. Orders will specify Sampling Disk Filter types, appropriate for either a 5-day or 28-day exposure time. Sampling Station and individual Sampling Disk labels will also be specified with each order.

Custom Sampling Stations ordered by the government shall be manufactured and delivered at the expense of the contractor within three (3) weeks of the order date. Shipping charges shall be integrated into the total unit cost of the sampling stations.

3.1.1. Sampling Stations

Sampling Stations shall consist of either five (5) or six (6) independent Air Sampling Disks integrated into a single rectangular plastic assembly having nominal dimensions of 3” x 4.5” x 0.5” that incorporates one or more perforations (holes) to secure the Sampling Station to a submarine bulkhead, or similar fixture. Sampling Stations consisting of only five (5) Air Sampling Disks shall be manufactured in the same six-disk form factor discussed above, with one Air Sampling Disk blank/empty. Sampling Stations shall be constructed of rugged, flexible plastic (e.g. polyolefin or fluorinated polyolefin) that is non-reactive with the Sampling Media to be used in the Air Sampling Disks and applicable Analytes. Sampling Stations, when complete, shall be packaged in a flexible, hermetically-sealed, metal foil pouch (nominal 8” x 5”) that is impermeable to contaminants. A second manually-closeable, metal foil pouch (nominal 9”x 5.5”) shall be provided for return shipment of the Sampling Station to the contractor laboratory for processing.

3.1.2. Independent Air Sampling Disks within Sampling Stations Each independent Air Sampling Disk within the Sampling Stations shall be constructed of the same non-reactive plastic as the Sampling Station, and shall incorporate a sequential component stack consisting of: (a) a non-reactive support material; (b) Sampling Media; (c) Sampling Filter; (d) a hinged plastic cap attached to each Air Sampling Disk. Two types of Sampling Filters shall be provided to generate two different exposure periods: a plastic cover consisting of a grid of holes to generate a 28-day exposure period, and a semi-permeable membrane filter to generate a 5-day exposure period. Individual labels for individual Air Sampling Disks and Sampling Stations will also be specified with each order.

3.1.3. Air Sampling Disks

3.2. Analysis and Reporting Requirements

NSMRL will return up to 1200 Sampling Stations, per year, to the contractor for processing. Sampling Stations will be stored frozen after the exposure period is completed and will be shipped at the Government’s expense to the contracted laboratory on dry ice. The contractor shall remove the independent Air Sampling Disks and their Sampling Media to process each for content of the Analyte(s).

The time-weighted average concentration of each Analyte shall be computed from the quantity of Analyte found and the sampling time reported for each Air Sampling Disk.

Processing of custom sampling stations that are returned to the contractor after exposure shall be completed within three (3) weeks of receipt.

The results of completed processing shall be reported in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. The report shall include: the hull number of the appropriate submarine, dates sampled, analytes sampled, and time-weighted average concentration in parts per million (ppm). The spreadsheet shall be delivered via email to the following NSMRL points of contact:

Mr. Derek Schwaller- derek.schwaller@med.navy.mil Mr. David Burnside- david.burnside@med.navy.mil

4. Additional Requirements/Qualifications The contracted support laboratory shall be a certified industrial hygiene laboratory, in accordance with the specifications of the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).
