C-1.0 General Description: This Statement of Work (SOW) provides the requirements for specialized laboratory testing services under the DLA Energy Specialized Laboratory Testing Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). Upon receipt of a DLA Energy issued Task Order or Contracting Officer’s verbal authorization to proceed under the BPA, the Contractor will be responsible for the laboratory testing of aviation fuel defined in Table 2 at one of the locations identified in Table 1. A Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) will transport the fuel sample to the nominated laboratory and witness in-person all testing.

C-1.01 Service Locations: The laboratory testing facility shall be located within a four hour driving distance of one of the cities listed Table 1 below and shall meet the required turn-around times in section C-3.0. The Contractor shall provide the location(s) of the facility where the product shall be tested, facility testing capabilities, and contact information.

C-1.1 Logistics: In the event that the Contractor’s available testing location(s) and capabilities create a logistical concern that would unduly delay testing and adversely impact mission requirements, DLA Energy reserves the right to use a third-party service provider.

C-2.0 Scheduling of Services: After the Contracting Officer (CO) authorizes a task order, the QAR will contact the laboratory to schedule the testing. The Contractor shall not perform services under this SOW without an order or direct authorization from a CO. Prior to commencing testing, the Contractor shall contact the CO if an order or verbal authorization to proceed has not been received. Only a CO can formally, either in writing or verbally, authorize testing and create an obligation.

C-3.0 Turn-around Times: Testing turn-around (TAT) shall be completed in 6 hours. Start time begins when Contractor receives a sample at its laboratory and TAT ends when written testing results are delivered to DLA Energy. The Contractor shall be given at least 12 hours advance notice of the requirement.

C-4.0 Certification Compliance Plan: The Contractor and any sub-contractor utilized for laboratory testing, shall be ISO 9001 or ISO/IEC 17025 certified and provide proof of certification when requested to the CO or QAR.

C-4.1 Laboratory Equipment Plan: The Contractor shall furnish a Laboratory Equipment Plan to the CO at the onset of the Blanket Purchase Agreement and provide an annual update on the status of all equipment used in laboratory testing by name, model, and serviceability. Equipment that malfunctions or becomes non-serviceable shall be reported to the CO and Contracting Officer Representative (COR) within 48-hours and a testing capability mitigation plan provided.

C-5.0 Laboratory Test Report: The Contractor shall maintain records evidencing all analysis performed under this Blanket Purchase Agreement. All samples tested shall be documented with a detailed report. Reports shall be complete and legible containing information pertaining but not limited to: Lab Name, Date of test, Grade of Fuel, Test Method, Test Name, Test Results, Test Units, and signature certifying results.

Thermal Stability test reports shall include the following additional data:

1. Type of tester used.

2. Tube manufacturer and serial number.

3. Rating method: Visual Tube Rater (VTR), Interferometric Tube Rater (ITR), or Ellipsometric Tube Rater

(ETR).

The Contractor shall correct and resubmit any reports not containing the appropriate information.

C-5.1 Laboratory Test Report Additional Email Addresses: Within 2 hours of testing completion, the Contractor shall email all test results to the COR, QAR, and to the organizational email address of:

dlaenergylaboratoryreports@dla.mil,. The Contractor will provide the test results to the CO when requested.

C-6.0 Staffing: The Contractor shall provide sufficient staff to accomplish all functions and tasks, to include simultaneous operations performing multiple tests at a time. Fuel Laboratory testing services may be required outside regular business hours, on weekends, and on holidays. The Contractor shall provide the contact information for a laboratory manager and assistant laboratory manager if the laboratory is not manned 24 hours, seven days a week.

C-7.0 Access: The Contractor shall allow DLA Energy representatives to witness testing or sampling. The Contractor shall provide the applicable information for access and provide follow-up to obtain access (for personnel and vehicles) to all facilities where product is tested or sampled. For areas that require special admission, the Contractor will assist DLA Energy representatives in gaining access.

C-8.0 Sample Cans: Contractor shall maintain a supply of ten unused epoxy lined fuel sample shipping containers to be provided to DLA Energy personnel per request for all locations nominated.
