Mode of Delivery (MoD): TTWP – Tank Truck w/ Pump & Meter Metered Delivery Tickets Required: Yes Equipment (GFE) and Services Requested:

• Pump (type): Hand

• Meter (type): Liters

• Hose (length): 15 meters

Additional Notes:

• The delivery vehicle needs to be able to access Bahrain International Airport

VIA CP4 control gate. This requires the contractor to go through BAC for proper badges and vehicle passes. HM-15 can bring their tank to the land side but that is dependent on if HM-15 has personnel available to bring the tank out.

• Due to HM-15 personnel rotating through people every 3-6 months it is best to always use NSA Air Operations Personnel as the POC for all fueling questions, comments, or concerns.

• Also, it is pertinent that the contractor also gains access to NSA3 land-side without an escort as Air Operations does not have the man-power to facilitate an escort. The contractor needs to go through the proper channels with the US Navy to have their personnel and vehicle put on the access list and a NSA3 Land-side Vehicle pass. The Land-side Vehicle Pass is free and can be obtained through NSA3 Air Operations.

The notification shall include a revised ceiling the Contractor believes is sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.
