About this file

This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the installation and certification of Phase 1 compressed air and breathing air infrastructure at the C-130 Hangar at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida.

The Contractor shall procure, install, and certify a complete compressed air generation and breathing air purification system for the 33,583 square-foot facility. The primary deliverable is an oil-free rotary screw air compressor with Variable Speed Drive capable of sustained 500–600 CFM output at 125 PSI discharge pressure, paired with a minimum 600-gallon wet/dry receiver tank. The system must include refrigerated air-drying and coalescing/particulate filtration meeting ISO 8573-1 Class 1-2-1 standards, with condensate management yielding effluent of 15 ppm or less total oil and grease. The Contractor must install dedicated breathing air purification manifolds with multi-stage filtration and continuous in-line Carbon Monoxide monitors (alarm threshold 10 ppm) at pre-designated facility drop points for future Paint and Blast Booths, terminated with heavy-duty isolation valves and test-port fittings. Critical deliverables include Equipment Submittals (15 days post-award), a Simulated Test Plan (30 days prior to testing), Contractor Air Quality Test via 3rd-party laboratory (10 days prior to BEE survey), on-site support during the mandatory 45th Bioenvironmental Engineering (BEE) survey, O&M manuals, and site training for up to five DoW personnel. The system must pass simulated load testing demonstrating sustained 500–600 CFM at 125 PSI and independent air sampling proving OSHA Grade D compliance per 29 CFR 1910.134. Regulatory compliance is mandatory across OSHA, EPA, DoD, Air Force/Space Force directives, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and Patrick SFB local installation standards. The Contractor shall provide a comprehensive 12-month warranty commencing upon Final Government Acceptance (post-BEE survey clearance) with 48-hour response time for critical failures, plus 12 months of concurrent preventative maintenance including quarterly CO monitor calibration, semi-annual compressor/treatment inspections, and annual filter/sensor replacements, with written Service Reports due within five business days of each PM visit.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Project: Installation and Certification of Phase 1 Hangar Compressed Air and Breathing Air

Infrastructure

Location: C-130 Hangar, Patrick Space Force Base (PSFB), FL

1.0 Background and Objective

The newly constructed single-bay C-130 hangar (33,583 Sq Ft facility) at Patrick SFB requires a centralized compressed air generation system to support general aircraft maintenance hangar, an attached machine shop, fabrication shop, and future paint and blast booths. Note: The Paint

Booth and Blast Booth are scheduled for future installation, all rooms are currently ready to receive compressed air. The objective of this contract is to procure, install, connect, commission, and medically certify the primary air generation equipment and Grade D breathing air manifolds up to the designated facility drop points, ensuring the infrastructure is fully operational and certified prior to the arrival of the booths.

2.0 Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary to install a complete, functional compressed air and breathing air generation system. The Contractor shall tie the new generation equipment into the new already installed facility distribution piping, install isolation valves at future equipment locations, perform simulated load testing, and support final health and safety certifications.

3.0 Performance Requirements

3.1 Compressed Air Generation Plant

• Capacity & Type: The Contractor shall install an oil free Rotary Screw air compressor

Variable Speed Drive capable of delivering a sustained 500 to 600 CFM.

• Operating Pressure: The system shall maintain a consistent discharge pressure of 125

PSI.

• Storage: The Contractor shall provide and install an appropriately sized wet/dry receiver tank system (minimum 600-gallon capacity) to buffer future high-demand surges from concurrent blast booth and paint booth operations.

3.2 Air Treatment (Shop Air)

• Drying & Filtration: The Contractor shall install a refrigerated air-drying system and coalescing/particulate filters capable of treating the full CFM load to meet ISO 8573-1

Class 1-2-1 air quality standards.

• Condensate Management (Environmental Compliance): synthetic compressor lubricants and yield an effluent containing 15 ppm or less of total oil and grease

3.3 Breathing Air Purification System (Preparation for Future Booths)

• Point-of-Use Manifolds & Stub-Outs: The Contractor shall install dedicated breathing air purification manifolds at the pre-designated facility drop points for the future Paint Booth and Blast Booth.

• Termination: Because the booths are not yet installed, the Contractor shall terminate these manifolds with heavy-duty isolation valves and test-port fittings/quick-disconnects.

• Future Capacity: The manifolds must be sized to support future loads (Blast: 2 users at 15-20 CFM each; Paint: 2 users at 4-15 CFM each) and be compatible with future Vortex cooling tube attachments (device that can be integrated into a supplied-air respirator (SAR) to cool or heat the incoming breathing air).

• Filtration & Monitoring: Systems must include multi-stage filtration (particulate, oil, and activated carbon for organics) and feature continuous in-line Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitors equipped with audible and visual alarms set to trigger if CO levels exceed 10 ppm.

3.4 Integration, Simulated Testing, and 45th BEE Certification

• System Tie-In: The Contractor shall connect all new generation and purification equipment to the existing facility distribution piping and perform leak testing on all new joints.

• Simulated Load Testing: Because the booths are not present to draw air, the Contractor shall conduct a full-load operational test using simulated loads (e.g., utilizing flow-meters, orifice plates, or safe atmospheric venting diffusers). The Contractor must physically demonstrate the compressor plant can sustain the required 500-600 CFM at

125 PSI without system failure or excessive pressure drop.

• The contractor shall utilize OSHA-compliant mufflers/silencers during testing to maintain noise levels below hazardous thresholds.

• Contractor Preliminary Air Test: The Contractor must procure a 3rd-party laboratory air sample test drawn from the manifold test ports, proving the system produces OSHA

Grade D air per 29 CFR 1910.134.

• 45th Bioenvironmental Engineering (BEE) Survey (MANDATORY):

• Upon successful simulated testing, the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will schedule an official bio-survey with the 45th Medical Group

Bioenvironmental Engineering (BEE) office.

• The Contractor must be on-site to operate the system, demonstrate CO monitor calibration, and assist BEE personnel in taking their independent air samples directly from the breathing air manifold test ports.

• Final Acceptance is strictly contingent upon the system passing the 45th BEE survey and receiving official written clearance.
