The U.S. Army is seeking certified helium leak inspections and failure retesting for containers at Tooele Army Depot. - Government buyer: Department of the Army; Tooele Army Depot (TEAD); U.S. Army Contracting Command–Rock Island (W6QK ACC-RI). - Services requested: Inspect 100 newly fabricated one-metric-ton mercury containers and provide up to 10 retests for failed tests. - Amendment 0001 revised the quantities from 400 to 100 inspections and from 25 to 10 retests. - Retesting is a variable-quantity item; payment is limited to authorized retests successfully completed and accepted by the Government. - Notable technical requirements: - Perform the work at TEAD using an ASNT Level II or Level III certified inspector. - Pressurize containers to 15.0 PSIG ±0.2 psi using a gas mixture containing at least 50% helium, then conduct pressure-hold checks and scan welds and seals. - Use a calibrated detector capable of detecting 5E-6 standard cm³/sec; passing containers must meet the specified corrected leak-rate limit of less than 1.0E-5 standard cm³/sec. - Bubble tests and other liquid leak indicators are prohibited. The contractor supplies helium and specialized test equipment; the Government provides containers, facilities, utilities, and material-handling support. - Submit the inspection procedure before testing and provide a final report with container serial numbers and pass/fail results, plus a valid leak-detector calibration certificate. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, service vendors, or equipment manufacturers are named in the provided materials. - Performance period: One 12-month base period (365 days), with testing scheduled in coordination with the Contracting Officer’s Representative after the Government’s assembly work. No option years are stated. - Procurement estimate: Approximately $50,000–$150,000; this is an analytical estimate, as no solicitation value is provided.
