STATEMENT OF WORK

For

Digital Trace Oxygen Analyzer 29 July 2026

1. BACKGROUND

The Aerospace Fuels Laboratory at Vandenberg Space Force Base (AFPET/PTPLE) provides laboratory quality surveillance and investigative analytical support of flight critical products directly related to the warfighter and space launch operations on behalf of all Air Force and other DoD agencies, as well as commercial entities. AFPET/PTPLE has a vision to create a flexible, dynamic center of excellence that is responsive to customers and strategically positioned and focused on contingency and warfighter operations. We provide specialized testing services and capabilities in petroleum, propellants, cryogenics, chemicals and gases for all aerospace vehicles, systems, and equipment.

2. SCOPE

AFPET/PTPLE has a requirement for one (1) Digital Trace Oxygen Analyzer to perform trace level oxygen content testing on Nitrogen, Helium, Hydrogen and Argon gas samples. This will need to be a robust unit for routine specification and/or investigative testing. The Analyzer will be used for specification testing in accordance with MIL-PRF- 27401H (Nitrogen), MIL-PRF-27407E (Helium), MIL-PRF-27210E (Hydrogen) and MIL-PRF-27415 (Argon).

3. MINIMUM TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

The following specifications list the minimum requirements for the Digital Trace Oxygen Analyzer:

3.1 Shall be one (1) instrument (with any strictly necessary add-ons) capable of automatically analyzing for trace levels of oxygen in gaseous products and shall meet the following requirements:

3.1.1. Electrically configured for standard 100-120V single phase, 50/60Hz electricity. Equipped with 3 wire electrical cord, at least 6 ft in length, with a NEMA 5-15P plug. This will allow analyzer to be compatible with current electrical outlet supply & type.

3.1.2. Shall be a benchtop unit, with dimensions (W×D×H) ≤ 24”×24”×24” to be able to fit on laboratory benchtop with sample manifold.

3.1.3. Must be compatible with Nitrogen, Helium, Hydrogen and Argon gaseous matrixes

3.1.4. Shall contain a coulometric electrochemical cell for the analysis of trace levels of oxygen

3.1.5. Shall have a detection range of at least 0-10,000 ppm, with an accuracy of ≤ ±5%

1. Shall be able to achieve a lower detection limit of at least 50 ppb.

3.1.6. Sample inlet and outlet ports shall be compatible with 316L SS 1/8” OD Swagelok nuts, ferrules and tubing.

3.1.7. Shall be equipped with a digital touchscreen to display results in real-time and for user to program operating conditions, settings, and recall data

3.2 Shall provide ongoing technical support, 8 hours each day Mon-Fri, to help identify, troubleshoot and resolve hardware and software problems. Support shall be available by phone and e-mail; responses to support requests by e-mail or phone message shall be given within two business days.

3.3 Shall provide electronic copies of all manuals and instructions for instrument operation.

4. DELIVERY, INSTALLATION, AND LEAD TIME

The Contractor shall deliver all items for this requirement within 12 weeks after contract award to the following address:

SHIP TO DoDAAC: FP2075 Aerospace Fuels Laboratory (FP2075)

AFPET/ PTPLE

1747 Utah Ave Bldg 6670 Vandenberg AFB CA 93437-522

A delivery Point of Contact (POC) will be identified in the schedule of the final awarded contract who will be responsible for coordinating delivery.

5. SHIPPING

Contractor shall ensure all instruments and items are fully operational and in good, working condition before shipping to Vandenberg Space Force Base. Contractor shall securely package and provide insurance for all shipment items.

6. WARRANTY

The product shall be free from defects in material and workmanship upon delivery. A warranty shall be honored by the Contractor for all items delivered for this requirement for at least one (1) year after receipt under normal and proper use in accordance with the user manual.

7. 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 the invoice is defective. The invoice shall be submitted to in Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) in accordance with the terms of the final contract award

8. DELIVERY PROCEDURES – COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

9.1.The company shall properly ship the system to the Aerospace Fuels Laboratory at Vandenberg AFB CA. All shipping costs to include insurance will be included in contractor’s proposal. Great care using standard, approved packaging methods shall be taken.

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

9.2.1. Step van/panel truck

9.2.2. Tractor/trailer, box and flatbed containing cargo

9.2.3. Tanker trucks

9.2.4. Box trucks

9.2.5. Tour buses

9.2.6. Garbage/recycled waste trucks

9.2.7. Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks

9.2.8. Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker

9.3.This inspection will be conducted at the truck gate (Lompoc Gate).

9.3.1. 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 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.

9.3.2. All irregular deliveries will be sent for inspection. All visitors, which include contractors and commercial vendors without proper background checks and contractor passes, will not be allowed.
