(1) Bulk Gas: 1,280,000 scf per shipment to occur once per year. Estimated to occur for two of the three years of the contract in place of Routine Requirement.

(e) Special delivery equipment requirements:

(1) ISO containers are required due to the unique transportation and operational requirements in Antarctica. Bulk gaseous helium trailers are NOT acceptable.

(i) ISO-Containers will be approximately 40’Lx8’Wx8’H. The ISO Containers must be capable of being lifted by a crane and standard rigging. ISO Containers of 9 to 13 tubes are acceptable with a lesser number of larger capacity tubes preferred if available. Smaller containers (i.e., 20’ ISO containers) which together provide an equivalent amount of gas of the larger required ISO Containers are not acceptable due to limitations of equipment and hardware required to transport the containers during launch operations.

(ii) Total water volume of each ISO-container will be approximately 880scf.

(iii) Each container will contain a minimum capacity of 140,000 cubic feet of helium.

(iv) Minimum fill pressure will be 2,640 psig at 70 degrees F.

(v) Minimum discharge rate to atmosphere will be 150,000 scf per hour (as long as module pressure is above 1,500 psig).

(vi) ISO-Container plumbing specifications:

(A) ISO-Containers will be equipped with two outlets and valves terminating with a ¾ inch NPT male pipe thread or terminate with two male CGA 1540 fittings. These outlets will be capped off with a ¾ inch female cap. Outlet valves to have a flow coefficient (Cv) of 3.1 or higher.

(B) Header will be equipped with one outlet for gauging pressure, terminating a CGA 580 female fitting.

(C) Working pressure for all headers, outlet piping, and fittings will be 3,000 psi (for 2800 psi fill pressure) or greater.

(D) ISO-Container plumbing will not have check valves or other components that restrict gas flow or impede ISO-Container recharging (by CSBF personnel if required).

(E) All valves will be pressure and leak tested. All valves will be tested prior to fill to assure seats are in good working order.

(F) A tube diagram will be provided to CSBF prior to shipment (normally during pre-shipment coordination). A report on the pressure in each ISO- Container tube will be supplied to CSBF prior to shipment. The water volumes of each ISO-Container tube will be provided to CSBF prior to shipment.

(2) If the Contractor is required to lease ISO containers specifically to support this location, the rental charges will be for the entire term of the contract (base period plus any exercised options) as identified in the Schedule. If an ISO container is retained by the location past the end of the contract period (awaiting shipment back to Port Hueneme), the rental rate will be calculated with a yearly rate increase of the same percentage as for the last year of the contract. If a tube is required to be removed from an ISO container to comply with DOT weight restrictions, the cost to perform this operation will be charged as designated in the Schedule. The removed tube will not be required to be reinstalled on the ISO container for the remainder of the contract. This fee will be assessed on an as needed basis and should include the effort to reinstall the tube at the conclusion of the contract.

(f) Special access requirements: Drivers required to be U.S. Citizens

(g) Government-Furnished Property (GFP): None.

(h) Special delivery conditions:

(1) A shipment of gaseous helium in ISO containers to Antarctica is required annually to support NASA's Long Duration Balloon Program. The amount of helium required can vary between 960,000 and 1,280,000 standard cubic feet (6 to 8 ISO containers at 160,000 scf each) depending on the planned flight program and other factors such as balloon launch aborts and unexpected loss of gas while containers are stored in Antarctica. See “Special Delivery Equipment Requirements” for ISO container requirements. The shipments are sent via ocean transit using a ship commissioned by the National Science Foundation (NSF). There is only one ship per year. All ocean shipments originate from the Port of Hueneme, located at Port Hueneme California.

Depending on loading schedule, the trailers the ISO containers are delivered on to Port Hueneme may be offloaded upon delivery or retained for up to 3 weeks. The vessel departs in early December, arrives at McMurdo Station in mid-January, and returns to Port Hueneme in March. This round-trip ocean transit occurs only once per year.

Helium ISO containers must be delivered to the Port of Hueneme no later than mid-

November each year. CSBF typically initiates a purchase order for the desired number of ISO-Containers no later than August of each year to allow for adequate coordination prior to shipment. In a nominal year, CSBF typically orders 6-8 ISO-Containers (960,000 – 1,280,000 scf gaseous helium). The first yearly shipment under the contract is anticipated to require a “Peak” requirement of 1,280,000 scf of gaseous helium (8 ISO Containers).

(2) NASA/CSBF launches balloons from McMurdo Station starting in December. The helium gas (in ISO containers) is shipped via sea from Port Hueneme in December is intended for use one year later. At the conclusion of the launch period (approximately the end of December or in January) any empty containers are delivered to the port at McMurdo Station for return shipment to Port Hueneme. An ISO container shipped in December from Port Hueneme will not be returned to the United States for approximately 15 months. Based on current operational plans, CSBF typically requires 6-8 ISO-Containers on site in Antarctica during the October-December period.

Therefore, due to shipping logistics, the contractor may be required to have as many as 14 ISO-Containers dedicated for NASA use: up to 6 in shipment (between December and March) and up to 8 on site in McMurdo Station, Antarctica supporting the launches.

CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION (CCAFS)

CLIN 005

(a) Delivery Address

United Launch Alliance Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) Cape Canaveral Space Force Station

(b) Delivery Hours

(1) Routine delivery hours: 6:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. (local time) Monday through Friday

(2) Emergency delivery hours: 24 hours per day, 7 days per week

(c) Routine Requirements: 40,000 liters per month. For a Vulcan campaign, single tanker delivery (40,000 liters) required in advance of Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR), approximately one month before launch, with a second tanker required shortly before launch.

(d) Peak Requirements: 80,000 liters per month, anticipated once per year in the instance of a second launch series required for a mission.

(e) Special Delivery Equipment Requirements: Tankers will require the following capabilities:

(1) 4 flex hose connections to effect LHe product withdrawal:

2” x 4” VJ liquid withdrawal (w/ manual iso valve, Cv >= 23.5) 2” x 4” VJ tanker ullage press/vent Liquid phase pressure sense line Vapor phase pressure sense line

(2) MAWP >= 151 psig

(3) MOP >= 145 psig

Note: Operating at MOP may require disabling of GHe vent valve supply to intermediate radiation shield. Current operations anticipate pressurization to 125 psig.

(4) 2” piping minimum liquid outlet line

(5) Manual Outlet Isolation valve with Cv >= 23.5

(f) Special Access Requirements (i.e., security): All drivers required to be U.S. citizens. Entry into KSC is restricted to badged personnel only. The contractor is required to obtain badges for delivery personnel for access to the Center. The contractor shall ensure that these badges remain current.

After obtaining access to KSC and check-in at KSC/Propellants North, tankers will be escorted onto CCAFS and SLC-41. A similar process will occur for pickup of empty tanker at SLC-41.

(g) Special Delivery Conditions: Although actual delivery will be to CCSFS/SLC-41, tanker will initially check in at KSC Propellants North (see (k) “Delivery Driver Directions”) for escort to CCSFS/SLC-41. A similar process will occur for pickup of empty tanker at SLC-41.

(h) Government-Furnished Property (GFP): No Government-Furnished Property (GFP): will be available to support this CLIN.

(i) Other Special Considerations:

(1) Additional Launch support information:

(i) Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC41) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station requires bulk liquid helium (LHe) in support of pre-launch preparations and launch operations. Operations require use of a contractor supplied LHe tanker which will interface directly with ground support equipment (GSE) at the launch pad and supply LHe for the duration of the launch campaign. The GSE will connect to the LHe tanker through both the liquid and gas interfaces to enable pressurizing the trailer with gaseous helium and withdrawing liquid helium.

Interface details are included in paragraph (e). Once the interfaces are connected and trailer valves configured, the GSE will be configured for remote operation for all pressurization and venting of contractor supplied trailer. At the conclusion of the WDR or launch campaign, the trailer will be vented to the pressure determined acceptable to the contractor for safe return of tanker.

(ii) Wet Dress Rehearsal (using equivalent of one launch attempt with scrub) anticipated approximately one month prior to launch.

(iii) Tanker located at SLC-41 anticipated to be capable of supporting up to 3 launch attempts (with scrubs) during multi day launch campaign.

(iv) Tanker will be secured by tie downs at SLC-41. Tanker to be parked in close vicinity of the launch pad with potential exposure to the resultant plume overpressure/splash pressure and exhaust effects. Worst case overpressure and splash pressure are each predicted to be 0.5 psi at this location.

(j) Geographic Location: KSC is located approximately 40 miles east of Orlando, Florida, and 2 miles south of Titusville, Florida. CCSFS/SLC-41 is located approximately 10 miles from the Propellants North check-in location at KSC.

(k) Delivery Driver Directions: Deliveries shall be made to Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) after reporting to NASA, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, KSC Propellants North. The driver will obtain a visitor badge at the Visitor Pass and ID station located just west of Gate 3 on State Road 405. After obtaining a badge proceed to Gate 3 for KSC security check. After Gate 3 drive approximately 1/4 miles east to exit ramp marked “TO VAB” (just prior to the SR 3 overpass). The driver will exit, turn left and travel north approximately 4 miles to Saturn Causeway. Turn right on Saturn Causeway and proceed past the VAB and around the curve. Approximately 3/4 mile past the curve, the driver will turn left (north) on to Fluid Servicing Rd, which crosses the gravel crawler-way. Tanker to report to Propellants North for check in process, and then will be escorted to SLC-41/CCASFS via Saturn Causeway, Pad A Bypass Road and Phillips Parkway south. CCAFS security will inspect the tanker after entering CCSFS and prior to arriving at SLC-41. Upon release from SLC-41, the drivers must exit CCSFS through NASA, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, and will be required to leave CCSFS via Phillips Parkway north and Pad A Bypass Road (around the LC39 Pad area).
