STATEMENT OF WORK

FOR

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY CONTROLLED GLOVE BOX

10 APRIL 2025

I. Background:

The Air Force Institute for Technology has a need for a Temp & Humidity Controlled Glove Box to train students in fundamental scientific concepts. Experiments with this item will complement AFIT coursework in the Departments of Engineering Physics enabling invaluable lab-based study of the concepts examined in lecture. The Glove Box will also support thesis and dissertation projects for AFIT students. Glove Boxes have been a fundamental tool of nuclear science since the beginnings of the field. The Glove Box accurately maintains temperature and humidity inside a roomy single-operator glove box.

II. Minimum Technical Requirements:

The following specification lists the minimum (threshold) requirements for the Temp & Humidity Controlled Glove Box:

• Glove Box

• Temperature and Humidity controlled

• single-operator glove box

• 2 sets of gloves

• Password protected operation Display

• Circulation vacuum pump

• Drying Train System

• Humidity Sensor

• Canisters containing Molecular Sive

• Oxygen Sensor

• Serial port for external computer data logging & remote access

• Inert gas hookup capability

III. Qualifying Country Products:

All products delivered to satisfy this requirement shall be manufactured in a qualifying country source in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 225.872. Products from other than qualifying countries will not be accepted, and any costs associated with products from other than qualifying countries, including shipping, etc., shall be at the contractor’s expense.

IV. Delivery and Lead Time:

V. The Contractor shall deliver and complete all requirements of this Statement of Work no later than three (3) weeks after contract award.

DELIVERY ADDRESS/SHIP TO DoDAAC: F4F5AR Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT/ENP) ATTN: Gregory Smith 2950 Hobson Way, Building, #640 Room #265 Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433-7765

VI. Invoice and Payment:

• The contractor shall be paid upon submission of a properly prepared invoice and after final inspection and acceptance has been made. A proper invoice shall cite the contractor’s name and address, invoice number, invoice date, order number, contract line-item number (CLIN), description of the supplies or service, unit of issue, unit price and extended price, terms of any prompt payment discount offered, and who to notify in the event that the invoice is defective. The invoice shall be submitted to the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF https://wawf.eb.mil/) in accordance with the terms of the final contract award 100% payment upon completion of all requirements specified in the Statement of Work.

VII. Delivery Procedures – Commercial Vehicles:

• The contractor shall properly ship the system to the Air Force Institute of Technology at

WPAFB, OH. All shipping costs to include insurance will be included in contractor’s proposal. Great care using standard, approved packaging methods shall be taken.

• All vehicles larger than a large pick-up truck are required to be inspected by the Wright- Patterson Air Force Base Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation. Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Step van/panel truck

2. Tractor/trailer, box and flatbed containing cargo

3. Tanker trucks

4. Box trucks

5. Tour buses

6. Garbage/recycled waste trucks

7. Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks

8. Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker

• This inspection will be conducted at Gate 26A located off State Route 235.

• The following are exemptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

1. If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list must be submitted by Friday at https://wawf.eb.mil/

1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector. The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 26A, 38A, and gate 1B. If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access.

2. If a delivery vehicle must exit, and then re-enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B.

The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre-clearance form. The driver shall present the pre-clearance form to the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be through any base gate.

• Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM.) Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller.
