When line injection of additives is required by the contract, the QCP will provide procedures for proportionately injecting additives throughout the entire loading process to ensure the additive is homogeneously blended into the product, as well as procedures for maintaining records evidencing the homogeneous blending of all line injected additives. In addition to the testing in (iii) below, a laboratory hand blend of jet fuel with all additives required by the contract shall be tested, prior to shipment, to verify compliance with the specification;

(ii) SAMPLING. Procedures for sampling additives, blend tanks, shipping tanks, lines, and conveyances/containers in accordance with API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS), Chapter 8, Section 1, (ASTM D 4057) Manual Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products, and/or Section 2, (ASTM D 4177) Automatic Sampling of Liquid Petroleum and Petroleum Products.

As a minimum, f.o.b. destination Contractors must ensure that all cargo systems on the vessel intended for loading product under this contract, to include tanks, lines, manifolds, and pumps, are washed, gas freed, and inspected. In the event a solvent de-greaser is utilized in the tank preparation process, a minimum of two rinses must be performed by the vessel prior to loading Aviation Turbine Fuel. Vessels that will be carrying JP8 will be allowed to load without cleaning based upon the following criteria: the last cargo prior to loading JP-8 is Jet A/A1, and the second and third to last cargoes were clean middle distillate or lighter petroleum products (no black oils, lubricating oils, vegetable oils, palm oils, biodiesel with FAME content greater than or equal to 15 % or other similar products).

Procedures for assuring condition of loading line (full of tested product, all air bled, and pressure packed) and gauging shore tanks, both before and after loading. In the event an automated metering system is to be used as the means of shore quantity determination, manual gauges of all storage tanks designated for shipment shall be taken prior to commencement of loading. Procedures for preload discussion between Contractor, vessel, and QAR to include, but not be limited to, prior two cargoes, cleaning procedures, loading plan, loading rates, sampling requirements, and after loading sampling and gauging.

[Prior to loading - gauge, sample, and test intransit cargoes designated for load on top. Gauge and sample (1 gallon) any other product on board, except for JPTS, and retain those samples.] All cargo quantities shall be calculated and volume corrected both before and after loading. Procedures for commencement of loading into one tank (up to 3 feet), then switching to at most two other vessel tanks while first-in sampling and testing is being accomplished (Table I). Procedures for the transportation of samples from the vessel to the testing facility. Monitoring the loading (including line blending and additive injection) from source to vessel, investigating irregularities immediately and stopping loading, if necessary. Procedures for investigating discrepancies in quality (mandated if off-specification or out of testing tolerance) and quantity (mandated if shore to ship variance is in excess of the following: 0.2% (0.002) for cargos not requiring cleaning, gas freeing, or drop/strip; 0.3% (0.003) for cargos requiring drop/strip; or 0.5% (0.005) for cargos requiring cleaning and gas freeing, or figures are suspect) on loaded conveyance.

Documentation shall include, as a minimum, test reports for all products and additives, additive blending and/or injection records, vessel notice of readiness, customs documents, bills of lading, vessel ullage reports, and the DD Form 250/DD Form 250-1 and continuation sheet(s) (or the Paperless Ordering and Receipt Transaction System [PORTS] or equivalent). Other documentation may be required on an as needed basis, such as vessel port logs, calibration records, and results of quality or quantity discrepancy investigations. These records and reports will include by whom, where, and how they were prepared, as well as retention information. The DD Form 250-1 and DD Form 250-1 continuation sheet(s) will be signed by the Contractor and the vessel representative in the appropriate blocks before presenting them to the QAR for signature. The DD Form 250 and DD Form 250-1 shall identify the type, brand name, and amount of all additive(s).

(x) CORRECTIVE ACTION. Actions to be followed to effect correction of any deficiency affecting product quality or quantity, such as handling of off-specification product (waivers, conveyance rejections, etc.). The corrective action procedures shall include notification of the

QAR.

For f.o.b. destination Contractor-supplied tankers/barges, the Contractor shall provide the QAR, prior to the first shipment, with the name and location of the laboratory to be used for testing at each discharge point. The Contractor shall also notify the QAR of any subsequent laboratory changes prior to the affected shipments. If any laboratory is determined to be unacceptable to the Government, the Contractor must designate another laboratory that is acceptable, before acceptance testing can take place. Acceptance tests will normally be performed at the acceptance point. However, when such tests are performed at origin on supplies to be accepted at destination, documentation that will enable verification of the original test results shall be provided to the Government prior to acceptance at destination. Regardless of the method of delivery, products furnished under this contract must meet all specification requirements at the CTP.

(d) Prior to loading, the Contractor shall inspect all shipping conveyances for suitability to load the supplies furnished under this contract, except for Government-furnished tankers and barges Authorization for the Contractor to participate in the inspection of Government-supplied tankers and barges rests with QAR. The QAR has the right to inspect any Government-supplied conveyance prior to loading and, in the event the Contractor and the QAR disagree on the suitability to load such a conveyance, the determination of the QAR shall govern. If the SHIPMENT AND ROUTING contract provision is included in the contract, Government-furnished transportation equipment that is unsatisfactory for loading shall be reported by the Contractor in accordance with the provisions contained in that contract provision. Procedures to determine suitability to load tank trucks and tank cars shall include, but not be limited to, visual inspection of interior compartments to assure cleanliness and dryness. Manifolds and hoses must be drained and be clean and dry for the intended product. If the Contractor intends to witness operations at any point up to, and including, government acceptance, the Contractor is responsible for contacting the facilities to be visited and obtaining the required access.
