About this file
This is a Statement of Need for cooling infrastructure repair materials required by the 460th Civil Engineer Squadron at Buckley Space Force Base.
The Government requires a one-time purchase of three distinct material packages to repair and fortify the cooling water system in the Restricted Area. Item 0001 is an Elbow and Pipe Repair Package containing 30 carbon steel pipe repair clamps in sizes from 3 to 10 inches, in straight configurations and 90-degree and 45-degree elbow configurations (two of each type and size). All clamps must be rated for minimum 80 PSI water pressure, include internal epoxy coating or compatible neoprene sealing sheets, and comply with ASME PCC-2, ISO 24817, and/or ASME B13 standards. Item 0002 is a Pipe Freezing Kit that uses liquid carbon dioxide or liquid nitrogen to freeze water in pipes ranging from 3/8-inch to 10 inches in diameter, creating in-line ice plugs for isolation. The kit must achieve temperatures of -109°F or colder, include high-pressure hoses of at least 16 feet in length, CO2 or LN₂ cylinder valve adapters, timing boards, pads, and comply with ASME PCC-2, ISO 24817, and/or ASME B13 standards. Item 0003 is a Carbon Fiber Composite Reinforcement Package consisting of a 12" x 50-yard roll of carbon fiber cloth, two-part epoxy, high-modulus filler material, and surface preparation equipment to near-white metal finish (SSPC-SP 10 or equivalent) for sealing leaks in 3" to 10" diameter pipes at temperatures up to 200°F with cured ply thickness of at least 0.0105 inches, compliant with ASME PCC-2, ISO 24817, and/or ASME B13 standards.
All materials must be new, commercial-off-the-shelf items delivered as a single consolidated shipment no later than 14 days after receipt of order to Buckley Space Force Base, Aurora, via the Large Vehicle Inspection Point off 6th Avenue. The delivery driver must meet 460 Security Forces base access criteria and be pre-vetted on an Entry Authority List provided by the Government. Items will be inspected upon delivery by authorized Government personnel for conformance with specifications, and the Government will handle off-loading at the delivery location.

STATEMENT OF NEED
460 CES
Cooling Infrastructure Repair Materials
Current as of 30 April 2026
1.0 REQUIREMENT TITLE: 460 CES Cooling Infrastructure Repair Parts - Pipe and Fortification Repair Materials
2.0 BACKGROUND
The 460th Civil Engineer Squadron (460 CES) is responsible for the maintenance and integrity in supporting Restricted Area (RA) at Buckley Space Force Base. The cooling water system within this area has experienced leaks and requires repair and proactive fortification to ensure uninterrupted mission operations. This requirement is for a one-time, purchase of materials necessary to execute these repairs and prevent future failures.
3.0 SCOPE
The Government requires a contractor to provide three distinct material packages: an Elbow and Pipe Repair Package, a Pipe Freezing Kit, and a Carbon Fiber Composite Reinforcement Package. All materials must be new, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), and conform to the salient characteristics detailed below. The contractor shall be responsible for providing all items as a single, consolidated delivery.
4.0 SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS / SPECIFICATIONS
The delivered products shall meet or exceed the following minimum specifications:
4.1 ITEM 0001: Elbow and Pipe Repair Package (Quantity: 1 Package)
The package shall contain all of the following carbon steel pipe repair clamps:
(2) 10-inch Straight Pipe Repair Clamps
(2) 8-inch Straight Pipe Repair Clamps
(2) 6-inch Straight Pipe Repair Clamps
(2) 4-inch Straight Pipe Repair Clamps
(2) 3-inch Straight Pipe Repair Clamps
(2) 10-inch 90-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 8-inch 90-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 6-inch 90-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 4-inch 90-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 3-inch 90-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 10-inch 45-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 8-inch 45-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 6-inch 45-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 4-inch 45-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
(2) 3-inch 45-degree Elbow Repair Clamps
Performance: All clamps shall be rated to withstand a minimum of 80 PSI water pressure.
Coating: All clamps shall be internally coated with an epoxy, OR be supplied with a compatible neoprene sheet for sealing.
Compliance: All materials in this package must be compliant with ASME PCC-2, ISO 24817, and/or ASME B13 standards for sealing high-pressure leaks.
4.2 ITEM 0002: Pipe Freezing Kit (Quantity: 1 Kit)
Function: Shall utilize liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or liquid nitrogen (LN₂) to freeze stationary water, creating an in-line ice plug for pipe section isolation. Must be capable of forming dry ice at a temperature of -109°F or colder. This is a permanent tool for the RA maintenance shop.
Capability: Shall include all necessary jackets and components to support freezing pipes ranging from 3/8-inch to 10 inches in diameter.
Components: Shall include high-pressure hoses no less than 16 feet in length, all necessary CO2 or LN₂ cylinder valve adapters, and associated timing boards and pads.
Compliance: The system shall be compliant with ASME PCC-2, ISO 24817, and/or ASME B13 standards for pipeline isolation.
4.3 ITEM 0003: Carbon Fiber Composite Reinforcement Package (Quantity: 1 Package)
System Type: Shall be a field-saturated composite system consisting of one 12" x 50-yard (150 ft) roll of carbon fiber cloth, a compatible two-part epoxy, and a high-modulus filler material for sealing surfaces. The package must also include the necessary equipment for surface preparation to a near-white metal finish (SSPC-SP 10 or equivalent).
Application: Shall be designed to seal leaks in steel pipe in both hoop and axial directions on cooling water lines with diameters from 3” to 10”. The repair team will need to be prepared to repair live pipes.
Performance: Shall operate effectively at continuous temperatures up to 200°F.
Physical Properties: The cured ply thickness of the carbon fiber cloth shall be at least
0.0105 inches.
Compliance: The system shall be compliant with ASME PCC-2, ISO 24817, and/or ASME B13 standards for non-metallic composite repair systems.
5.0 DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE
5.1 Delivery Schedule: The contractor shall deliver all items no later than 14 days after receipt of order (ARO). Delivery time can be staggered for custom fabrications (e.g., 10" elbow clamps). The execution timeframe can also be amended to consider the driver screening window.
5.2 Acceptance: Items will be inspected upon delivery by authorized Government personnel to verify conformance with the salient characteristics listed in Section 4.0. The Government will be responsible for off-loading materials at the delivery location.
5.3 Delivery Location: Delivery to Buckley Space Force Base, Aurora. Driver must enter BSFB via Large Vehicle Inspection Point (LVIP) off 6th Avenue. Driver must meet standard 460 SFS base access criteria via a pre-vetting Entry Authority List (EAL); the government will provide. CES can support the contractor by submitting driver credentials to the Visitor Control Center (VCC) in advance of delivery. The contractor must provide a delivery driver authorized to enter BSFB legally.
