S. Government owned tanks/dewars. The gas quantities are the estimated total requirements over the period of performance. However, it is estimated that a maximum of 5,500 liters and a minimum of 500 liters of liquid nitrogen will be required during any single delivery. The government representative will coordinate the delivery dates, times, and approximate quantities with the Ordering Officer (OO) in Fleet Logistics Center Yokosuka (FLCY) contracting office, and the OO will issue a Delivery Order (DO) under this contract for each requirement. For normal operations, the Contractor shall provide gases within five (5) business days after notification of the requirement from the OO.

3. DELIVERABLE ITEMS : A Certification Report shall be provided with the first delivery each fiscal year (October-September) to the PSNS & IMF Contract Representative. The Certification Report shall include the following information at a minimum.

3.1 Contractor shall provide Certifications of Compliance to certify that the nitrogen and the processes meet the requirements of the specifications of reference (a) and reference (b).

3.2 The Government reserves the right to request certification more often (i.e. in case there appears to be a problem with the product provided).

If a problem with the quality of the product should arise, the Government shall have the option of requiring certification upon each delivery until the problem no longer exists

3.3 Contractor shall provide Certificates of Compliance to the PSNS & IMF Contract Representative for reviewing, approving and maintaining certifications for use of nitrogen in nuclear applications.

A) Contractor standard format is acceptable, but shall include the wording "ALL ITEMS FURNISHED ON THIS CONTRACT ARE IN

FULL COMPLIANCE WITH ALL SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS."

3.4 Certifications shall directly identify the item being furnished, the Government contract number, and the specification number. The certifications shall be signed by an authorized official of the Contractor designated as being responsible for quality assurance. The certifications are to accompany the lot of material shipped to which they apply.

3.5 Each delivery a chemical analysis shall be provided. The chemical analysis does not need to be included on the certification.

5.3.2 The two (2) MEGA-CYL 1000-liter capacity tanks are portable when full and will be either moved to Berth 12 in advance of filling or will be located at Berth 10 or 11. PSNS & IMF will arrange with the OO the specific location where these tanks will be filled when issuing a DO to request a fill. After filling PSNS & IMF will relocate these tanks to the desired location, if necessary

5.3.3 Berth 10/11 is inside of the PSNS controlled Security Enclave fenced area. Access to this area will be approved by PSNS Security during periods of elevated security. When the elevated security level in the Enclave area is established, the Contractor must be escorted at all times by PSNS personnel, and cannot have vehicles other than the liquid gas supply vehicle and the company escorting vehicle inside the area. Once filling operations are complete, the Contractor will be escorted out of the area by PSNS personnel.
