The system shall supply a continuous minimum of 55 lbm/min of compressed air at 70 psig, with air temperature no warmer than 15°F above ambient at the enclosure exit. The compressed air must meet ISO 8573-1:2010 [3:3:0] purity classification with zero oil concentration. The system must operate continuously for 18 hours per day without violating minimum requirements and include remote control and monitoring capabilities (Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, hardwired I/O), carbon monoxide monitoring with adjustable alarm setpoints (0-10 ppm), and N+1 redundant air receivers. The enclosure must be designed for regular lifting by crane, feature proper corrosion coatings per NASA-STD-5008 Zone 2, survive launch-induced environments including 168-mph wind loads (56 psf), impingement pressures of 0.05 psi vertical and 0.375 psi lateral, and seismic loads equivalent to ±3.0 g. All components mounted externally must be rated to at least 200°F. The desired delivery date is February 28, 2027, though extended performance periods are acceptable. The vendor shall provide shipping, on-site activation, up to four hours of training, and a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Comprehensive documentation including P&IDs, control schematics, electrical diagrams, equipment cut sheets, NACE inspection reports, and test reports is required.
