D. Air Pathway Testing and Airflow Velocity Procedures (Comprehensive Only)

Smoke testing and airflow velocities of the lane’s shooting positions shall be conducted in a standard procedure. The following procedures shall be followed as closely as possible:

Sampler shall position their bodies as would a shooter at each lane and each of the three shooting positions – standing, kneeling, and prone.

The sampler shall locate the smoke generator at the locations where the guns will be discharged (i.e. hold smoke generator with arms outstretched in front of shooter for approximately 10 seconds) for each of the locations and positions listed in #1 above. Allow for normalization of position (about 10 seconds) before recording smoke movement in sketch.

Please provide a sketch of the smoke movement from each lane and the 3 positions.

o Ideal sketch will use three colors, one color each for the shooters/samplers positions.

o Green color indicating standing position, blue indicating kneeling position, and red indicating prone position.

o Smoke movement lines should be sketched onto the diagrams provided.

o These sketched lines should start on the diagrams from the shooting location (estimate) and be drawn through to the perspective where the smoke disappears or becomes too diluted to observe. The length of the sketched lines should proportionally estimate the actual length and direction(s) the smoke traveled onto the provided diagram (i.e. a 4’ actual is equal to about 1/2” on diagram).

Record airflow velocities (fpm) in the breathing zone of the shooter (or sampler) for each of the lanes/positions indicated in #1 above. Breathing zone is identified as within approximately 1 foot of the nose/mouth, preferably to the side in this case.

Downrange airflow velocities (fpm) (mid-range and in front of backstop) should be taken in the middle of each lane, approximately midway from the floor to the bottom of the ceiling baffles.

Supply air volumetric measurements (cfm) should be taken at the outside air supply vent using applicable procedures for accurate measurements.

Exhaust air volumetric measurements (cfm) should be taken at the final outside air exhaust vent using applicable procedures for accurate measurements.

o If this is not a single pass HVAC system (i.e. with return air ducting, shared ventilation with other areas, etc.) please note on Table 4 - Inspection Checklist for Post-IFR Comprehensive and Follow-up Abatement notes section.

(SAM) records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see subpart 32.11) for the same entity.

“Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database” means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the unique entity identifier and the EFT indicator (if applicable), the Commercial and

Government Entity (CAGE) code, as well as data required by the Federal

(2) The Contractor has completed the Core, Assertions, Representations and

Certifications, and Points of Contact sections of the registration in the SAM database;

(3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal

To remain registered in SAM after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis, from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates, its information in SAM to ensure it is current, accurate and complete.

Updating information in SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.
