Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) Plan Development

A detailed Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) plan must be developed for the inspection of 19 GN2 storage vessels operating at pressures exceeding 10,000 psig, with comprehensive specifications covering method selection, inspection frequency, access requirements, and stringent safety protocols. The plan must account for the extreme operating conditions of the vessels and ensure the integrity and reliability of inspections conducted under high-pressure environments, utilizing industry-recognized NDE techniques tailored to the materials and structural configurations of the storage units. The contract is issued under the Department of Defense, specifically by the FA9101 AEDC PKP Procurement Branch, with performance location in Cooperstown. Subcontractors are required to submit proposals by July 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM, targeting the NAICS code 541330 which aligns with professional, scientific, and technical services involving engineering activities. The work demands expert-level knowledge in high-pressure vessel inspection, adherence to federal safety standards, and the ability to deliver a fully documented and actionable inspection protocol that meets stringent defense infrastructure requirements.
