NAICS Code: 332420 - The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division is seeking potential sources, pricing and scheduling for the below Salient Characteristics. Fabrication of Pressure Tank with Controls System Salient Characteristics Below is a list of characteristics that meets the Government's minimum requirements. The Government will evaluate all offers that meet or exceed the below characteristics. Fabrication of Pressure Tank with Controls System The pressure tank will be used to test underwater equipment. This pressure tank must be able to simulate a depth of at least 500 feet of sea water and be capable of the following: - o The pressure tank must adhere to industry standards, to include ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. - o Needs to hold a 6-foot instrument (minimum internal height or length needs to be 6 feet) completely submersed in water. - o Interior diameter needs to be at least 48 inches in diameter to allow several 6-inch diameter by 1 foot cylindrical instruments to be tested at once while submerged in water. - o Tank should have a pneumatically operated/controlled hinged door or hatch on top to allow full use of the volume of the tank (minimum diameter 32"). Tank should not require draining to obtain access to retrieve test specimen. Also the system should include safety latch/settings to prevent unwanted/unplanned opening and closing of hatch. - o System needs to handle a minimum pressure of 500 feet of sea water (FTSW). Anything higher is OK. - o System should not exceed 8 feet overall height (with lid open, if applicable). - o System has the ability for the user to set any test parameters and have them execute automatically by means of computer controller. An example of a test typically performed would be: Pressurize from 0 FTSW to 60 FTSW at a rate of 60 feet per minute (FPM) over 5 minutes Dwell at 300 FTSW for 15 minutes Reduce pressure to 150 FTSW at a rate of 60 FPM over the course of 2 minutes 30 seconds Dwell at 150 FTSW for 2 minutes Reduce pressure to 100 FTSW at a rate of 60 FPM over the course of 50 seconds Dwell at 100 FTSW for 2 minutes Reduce pressure to 50 FTSW at a rate of 60 FPM over the course of 50 seconds Dwell at 50 FTSW for 2 minutes Reduce pressure to 20 FTSW at a rate of 60 FPM over the course of 30 seconds Dwell at 20 FTSW for 2 minutes Increase pressure to 100 FTSW at a rate of 60 FPM over the course of 1 minute 20 seconds. Dwell at 100 FTSW for 2 minutes Reduce pressure to atmospheric level at 60 FPM over the course of 1 minute 40 seconds - o System has the ability to store test parameters for future use. - o System must be able to be drained via a minimum 1/2" drain line (hose), included. - o System to include any necessary equipment to connect the tank to the shop air, including but not limited to fittings, air driers, pumps, etc. - o System must have an emergency shut off. - o Tank must be able to be filled with water by way of threaded hose to be connected to shop water line. Hose and any accessories to be included. - o The pressure tank will be certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and shall exhibit ASME certification to include stamp and all associated ASME authorized documentation (Tank shall also exhibit attached proof of ASME certification). The minimum thickness of the pressure tank shell and ends shall be defined to meet any and all ASME certifications/requirements applicable to contract performance specifications. The pressure tank will also be epoxy coated inside to prevent rust. - o All documents associated with the pressure tank's ASME certification shall accompany the tank upon delivery. All documents shall be traceable to applicable standards/specifications associated with ASME certification providing 100% credibility of ASME stamp/certification. - o If the tank is raised or in a vertical configuration, a platform may be required to gain access to the hatch. In this case, the platform must be included. - o Tank must be delivered to NSWC IHEODTD and able to be unloaded via forklift. - o Vendor will provide initial set up of the system on site at NSWC IHEODTD. - o Vendor will provide one day (8 hours) of training to up to five NSWC IHEODTD personnel. Training should cover operation as well as preventative maintenance. All interested sources shall provide a company brochure or list of specifications, organization name, address, a point of contact, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, business size, taxpayer identification number, DUNS number, and CAGE Code. Interested sources shall also specify if they are the manufacturer of the product and provide rough drawings and/or pictures of the proposed vessel. In addition, interested sources shall also provide a ROM for the requested vessel, installation and training.
