Pressure systems and components are recertified on a periodic basis to meet the current requirements. The systems and equipment to be certified under this contract are housed in various buildings and locations throughout GSFC (onsite and offsite locations).

The Contractor shall certify and recertify pressure systems and components on a periodic basis, including in-service inspections (ISIs), to meet the current requirements. The systems and equipment to be certified under this contract are housed in various buildings and locations throughout GSFC Installations and Facilities. All certifications, ISIs, and re-certifications shall be approved by the GSFC PSM.

The Contractor shall determine the requirements necessary for the certification of systems and or components by interpreting the NASA requirements documents and applicable national codes and standards. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining what equipment needs recertification and how best to achieve this with minimum cost.

For each specific certification task, the Contractor shall review all related existing documentation, generate new drawings, if required, make all necessary preparations for inspection, perform all visual and non-destructive examinations by certified personnel, conduct all engineering evaluations, develop risk assessment documentation, identify and document discrepancies/deficiencies, and upon completion of the repairs, review and approve all supporting documentation involved with the repairs.

The Contractor shall use qualified engineers and technicians in the performance of certification work.

Located within Appendix 1 are references on how the certification process is currently conducted and the minimum qualifications of the key personnel involved.

The Contractor shall participate in NASA GSFC Pressure Vessel Safety Committee meetings.

The contractor shall provide training, certification, and recertification of contractor personnel and, if tasked, NASA GSFC customers/partners for High Pressure Systems, cryogenic safety, and oxygen deficiency hazard. The contractor is to manage employee certifications for High Pressure Systems. Administrative tasks for candidate recall, scheduling, coordinating training facilities, correspondence, issuing licenses, and records keeping are required. Training classes shall be approved by the GSFC PSM and Cryogenic

Safety Program Lead.

1.1.5.3 CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

The CM system keeps track of the total LDE and PVS inventory for all equipment and systems owned by Code 540. The contractor shall maintain and update the CM system to reflect any additions, deletions, or changes, and ensure that the documentation for each

LDE and PVS reflects its current field conditions. The CM system provides pertinent information including the certification status and required test, inspection, and recertification schedules for each LDE and PVS. The CM system also provides the capability to search/screen components from the database using criteria such as serial number, model number, etc., in response to OEM recalls or Safe Alerts. The current software supporting the CM system is a SQL based software program, Lab Quality

Management System (LQMS), housed in Code 585.

The contractor shall schedule and complete work in a manner that minimizes disruption of the GSFC mission and daily activities. The contractor shall work together with the LDE and PVS Managers and others in the research community to maintain awareness of the

Code 540’s recertification priorities. The Government prioritizes the recertification work efforts. The Government reserves the right to upgrade or change the current CM system at any point in time during the life of this contract. The contractor shall be able to perform the required CM system functions at the start and for the duration of this contract. The contractor shall continually update/maintain the CM database and shall be responsible for its accuracy as it relates to this SOW.

LDE Requirements – The CM system provides an inventory of each uniquely identified

Lifting Device (LD) and piece of Lifting Equipment (LE). In addition to delineation of

LDE inspection dates, the system provides criticality categorizations (critical/noncritical), service classifications (active service/standby service/idle service), and information regarding the compliance with NASA requirements such as (FMEAs, which define single failure and redundant components, etc.) for critical certified LDE, as well as the LDE owner and location. The CM system will also be a central point for record keeping of material handling equipment used for critical flight hardware.

PVS Requirements – The PVS CM system maintains documentation for all existing, modified, and new systems owned by Code 540. Documentation includes the necessary information to certify PVS in accordance with NASA standards. Examples could include original design drawings, manufacturer’s fabrication drawings, test and inspection reports, and data sheets. CM system documentation also includes PVS modification, repair, replacement drawings and history, as well as the certification status and in-service inspection (ISI) schedules for each PVS. Each PVS within the CM system is uniquely identified by a system number. Components within each System is also uniquely identified, including manufacturer, serial number, model number, size, etc.
