About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for federal contract solicitation N61331-26-Q-KS49 addressing helium delivery requirements.
The requirement involves delivering 75,000 standard cubic feet (SCF) of helium, with a maximum of 750 CCF per delivery. Multiple deliveries are permitted, with no more than two preferred. The helium must meet MIL-PRF-27407D Grade B specifications, with MIL-PRF-27407E (Revision E) preferred over Revision D. A Certificate of Analysis must accompany each delivery to verify the gas meets or exceeds applicable standards. Contractor-owned tube trailers must remain onsite during helium transfer into storage flasks and may remain for up to six months if the gas requires drawdown, though this is unlikely. Trailer rental and demurrage charges should not be included in pricing. Standard DOT-compliant trailer fittings are acceptable, and specific connection or capacity requirements need not be specified. Deliveries are restricted to Monday through Friday, 0900-1430 local time, with trucks required to obtain base access before 1430 hours, per clause G-242-H002. The delivery location is 110 Vernon Avenue, Panama City Beach, Florida 32407-7001. No anticipated award date was provided at the time this Q&A was issued.

Questions and Answers N61331-26-Q-KS49
Question:
1. Does the 750 CCF requirement represent one contractor-owned tube trailer containing the full 75,000 SCF, or may the quantity be delivered using multiple trailers/deliveries?
2. Is the contractor-owned tube trailer expected to remain onsite while the helium is consumed? If so, is there an estimated retention period, and should trailer rental/demurrage be included in the quoted price?
3. Is a CGA-580 connection required, and is there a minimum trailer capacity, working pressure, or other trailer configuration requirement?
4. The SOW specifies MIL-PRF-27407D, Grade B. MIL-PRF-27407E superseded Revision D in 2024.
Should offerors quote strictly to Revision D as written, or is the current Revision E acceptable/preferred?
5. Is a Certificate of Analysis or Certificate of Conformance required with the helium delivery?
6. The clauses state deliveries are Monday-Friday, 0900-1430 local time, with trucks required to gain base access before 1430. Please confirm those are the applicable receiving hours for this requirement.
7. Is there an anticipated award date?
Answer:
1.The trailer may be delivered using multiple deliveries; no more than two is preferred.
2. The trailer must remain onsite for the helium to be transferred into storage flasks; however, the trailer may need to stay onsite for the gas to be drawn down. This could be for up to a maximum six months. But will probably not occur. Trailer rental should not be included.
3. The trailers come standard with appropriate fittings. We do not need to specify minimum trailer requirements or connections. The company is held to maximum trailer requirements by DOT rules which we do not need to invoke.
