About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Unfired Pressure Vessel (UPV) inspections at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, under a Firm Fixed Price contract with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods.
The contractor must be an accredited Authorized Inspection Agency (AIA) holding a valid NB-369 Certificate of Accreditation and possess a minimum of five years' experience in boiler and pressure vessel construction, operation, maintenance, repair, or inspection. The scope covers approximately 60 UPVs (50 currently known), including air compressors and air receiver tanks. During the base year, the contractor shall perform one comprehensive structural integrity inspection on all existing vessels using Non-Destructive Testing methods (Ultrasonic Testing, Liquid Penetrant Test, Magnetic Particle Test, or Radiographic Test), with hydrostatic or pneumatic testing only as a last resort with prior written approval. During option years one through four, the contractor shall conduct annual external visual inspections of all existing equipment and perform integrity inspections on any newly installed, repaired, replaced, or altered vessels (maximum two additional UPVs per year). The contractor must verify pressure relief valves and pressure gauges, immediately notify the Contracting Officer's Representative of any defects, and re-verify repairs at no additional cost. All inspection findings must be documented on government-approved forms with clear labeling of inspection dates and next inspection due dates. Detailed reports with fitness-for-service calculations and recommendations are due within three weeks of service completion, with invoices submitted within 30 days thereafter. The contractor must provide annual proof of qualifications and comply with Service Contract Reporting requirements via SAM.gov, reporting all labor hours (prime and subcontractor) by October 31 of each calendar year.

5.1 Basic Services: The work on this contract shall include one (1) Inspection to establish current base-line conditions for all existing Unfired Pressure Vessels (UPV) and four (4) Yearly External Visual Inspections per below 5.2.1 and 5.2.2, respectively.
5.2 Tasks: Tasks consist of the following:
5.2.1 One-time integrity Inspection: This service shall be required during the Base Year (BY) of the contract and shall be performed on all existing units identified on the TYAD-provided equipment list. The inspection and testing results shall be documented on a Pressure Vessel Inspection Record Form provided by the contractor for prior TYAD approval (Deliverable #D.001). The initial one-time inspection shall include one of the following testing methods to determine the vessels have the structural integrity to maintain their internal pressures. Testing is intended to verify and ensure that the pressure vessels do not contain any flaws such as punctures, cracks, loose connections, or any other weaknesses that can compromise their efficacy. Hydrostatic or Pneumatic testing will only be allowed as a last resort and only with prior written TYAD approval. Preferred testing methods would include one of the following Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) or Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) at the discretion of the contractor and with prior written TYAD approval:
5.2.1.1 Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – this test is a type of volumetric method and uses sound waves to measure a materials thickness or detect any defects.
5.2.1.2 Liquid Penetrant Test (PT) - a liquid penetrant test is a means of checking for flaws on a pressure vessel that are open to the surface.
5.2.1.3 Magnetic Particle Test (MT) - in a magnetic particle test, the inspector runs a magnetic current through the pressure vessel, typically using the prod method, where an electric current flows between contact probes. If there are any defects in the shell’s material, a “flux leakage field” will appear.
5.2.1.4 Radiographic Test (RT) – this test can detect more flaws that are near or on the surface and also a volumetric method meaning it can detect issues inside the vessel.
5.2.1.5 All inspected equipment shall be, at a minimum, properly and clearly labelled with:
5.2.1.5.1 Date and type of inspection performed.
5.2.1.5.2 Next inspection due date and type.
