This solicitation is 100% set-aside for Small Business, the associated NAICS code is 332420 and small business size standard is 750. The purpose of this Requirement is for Building 8027 MPC, ATC and CSC chambers along with the Safety Air Monitoring room used are used to support the Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD) test programs and all future testing. Currently the nitrogen used to support the current test programs and safety air monitoring are being provided using 110 and 230 gallon bottles and tanks. With the upcoming installation of the new NGCD test fixtures, the amount of Nitrogen Gas exceeds our portable bottle capability. It is projected that five to six NGCD test fixtures will be operating four days a week, eight hours per day and each test fixture requires five separate Nitrogen Gas lines at various flow rates (average 100 - 150 L of Nitrogen Gas) per minute. This installation of a bulk 3000 gallon Nitrogen system with evaporator and 1" stainless steel pipes will provide the necessary Nitrogen gas without gas fluctuation or reduced flow rates and provide a safe and more cost effective way to provide nitrogen to the chamber, test fixtures and Safety Air Monitoring room.
