PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AFRL/RQ and RX require a BPA that will provide at least 160 different types, amounts and grades of compresses gases and liquid gases. This includes filling government owned cylinders and tanks or providing vendor owned cylinders containing desired gases, and the cylinder hydrostatic testing and repainting of government cylinders that are out of DOT tests. AFRL's mission is research to improve warfighter capabilities and many of our projects require the use of various types and grades of compressed gases as well as different cryogenic liquid gases. Also we have several hundred government owned cylinders that require periodic hydrostatic testing which needs to be done off site. AFRL has had BPA's with several vendors to supply compressed gases as well as liquid Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and Helium. These cylinders are either vendor or government owned cylinders or tanks depending on the type of compressed gas requested, including the liquid cryogenic gases. REQUIREMENTS •1.

ATTENTION small business respondents who are interested in submitting a capabilities package contractor for this effort: No set aside decision has been made; however, the Air Force is contemplating setting this acquisition aside for Small Businesses if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the entire scope of the effort, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. The clause reads, in part, as follows: "Limitations on Subcontracting (Nov 2011)... (c) By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for - (1) Services (except construction). At least 50 percent of the cost of contract Performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern... ". Provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided. ATTENTION all potential respondents: The acquisition strategy for this program has not been finalized. If this acquisition is not set aside for small business, it is anticipated that the contract may contain a small business utilization requirement. Please provide feedback on the requirement and what areas are likely candidates for SB subcontracting. Part II. Capability Survey Questions •1.
