The test involves flow of up to 100 gallons of the test commodity (Nitrogen Tetroxide, N2O4, NTO (MON-3)) from a GFE supply tank through a GFE flight like Engineering Development Unit (EDU) test article and into another GFE receiver tank. All GFE items will be supplied with pedigree showing compliance of design / fabrication / acceptance tests that meet National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) standards or National Consensus Standards (NCS) such as American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) or Department of Transportation (DOT). Multiple runs of flow in both directions will be executed. The contractor will be responsible for ensuring appropriate contingency response support is in place for the test.All contractor operations will be in accordance with site specific safety regulations. Potential offerors must have previous experience/history of your past hypergolic propellant handling operations. Please describe the facilities and equipment proposed for use including sufficient data (schematics, calculations, parts lists, photographs, CAD model image, etc.) to demonstrate how they meet the requirements of the government for this test as described in the Statement of Work.
