STATEMENT OF WORK
AVAL SUBMARINE SUPPORT FACILITY
LIQUID BULK NITROGEN, CRYOGENIC VC-1500 TANK LEASE & TANK MAINTENANCE
N68316120RC00002
1.0 BACKGROUND:
The Naval Submarine Support Facility (NSSF) New London's Nuclear Regional Maintenance Department (NRMD) is operated and managed by the Repair Department, as component of their overall intermediate maintenance capability in support of submarine afloat units.
CGA Grade M Liquid Nitrogen is used to support nuclear repair of submarines. Nitrogen is used to freeze soft/tough substances and keep material cooled during grinding operations. Nitrogen is used as a shield gas in heat treatment of iron, steel, and other metals. “Flash” or “Fins” on cast metal may be removed by cooling with nitrogen allowing them to be broken off. Finally, Nitrogen is used for valve repair to create and maintain seals. CGA Grade M Liquid Nitrogen is stored in a Chart Cryogenic VS-1500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank.
This Nitrogen gas contract will enable the customer to provide continuous support and repair of nuclear submarines while maintaining a rigid operational schedule.
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK:
The purpose of this contract is to provide the critical Nitrogen gas continuously in support of nuclear maintenance and repair of submarines without interruption in accordance with NSSF's overall mission. Maintaining this organic capability within NSSF's organizational structure provides for a faster turn-around time frame in maintaining and repairing deploying fast attack submarines while saving the Navy thousands of dollars in terms of operating costs, ship's availability, and operational readiness.
The overall goal is to provide a continuous uninterrupted availability of the NSSF's Nitrogen gas supply with the least amount of downtime possible. The proper and safe functionality of this NRMD's Nitrogen gas supply is critical in maintaining the submarine fleet's readiness in support of the Global War on Terrorism.
The contractor shall lease (one) Chart Cryogenic VS-1500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank, provide maintenance, and deliver CGA Grade M Liquid Nitrogen to the customer.

"Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), has established the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS), a standardized process for granting unescorted access privileges to vendors, contractors, suppliers and service providers not otherwise entitled to the issuance of a Common Access Card (CAC) who seek access to and can provide justification to enter Navy installations and facilities. Visiting vendors may obtain daily passes directly from the individual Navy installations by submitting identification credentials for verification and undergoing a criminal screening/ background check. Alternatively, if the vendor so chooses, it may voluntarily elect to obtain long-term credentials through enrollment, registration, background vetting, screening, issuance of credentials, and electronic validation of credentials at its own cost through one of the designated independent contractor NCACS service providers. Credentials will be issued every five years and access privileges will be reviewed/renewed on an annual basis. The costs incurred to obtain Navy installation access of any kind are not reimbursable, and the price(s) paid for obtaining long-term NCACS credentials will not be approved as a direct cost of this contract. Further information regarding NCACS can be found at http://cnic.navy.mil/CNIC_HQ_Site/index.htm (under "Popular Links")."
