What this opportunity is
The Department of Defense is seeking a total small business set-aside contractor to perform a feasibility study and analysis of transporting a Chem Nuclear Systems (CNS) model 10-160 Type B cask without impact limiters installed. The analysis will include finite element analysis and hand calculations to determine drop and impact conditions of the cask, as well as validation of compliance with regulatory requirements for shipment as a Type A container. The notice type is a sources sought notice, indicating that the government is seeking information from potential contractors, and the place of performance is in Virginia.

DROP ANALYSIS OF 10-160B CASK
STATEMENT OF WORK
1 Scope. This statement of work covers the following:
1.1 Feasibility study of transporting Chem Nuclear Systems (CNS) model
10-160 Type B cask without impact limiters installed to include:
1.1.1 Finite element analysis (FEA) and hand calculations to analyze
drop and impact conditions of 10-160B cask without impact
limiters installed.

3 General Requirements
3.1 Cask for evaluation is CNS model 10-160 Type B.
3.2 Impact limiters are not “installed” in FEA simulations and hand
calculations.
3.3 Simulated contents of cask are DOT 7A Type A, IP-2 or
similar classification.
4 Vendor Action
4.1 Period of Performance: Starts on, or around, August 24, 2026, and ends
August 23, 2027 (or when the analysis is completed satisfactorily).
4.2 Perform analysis (FEA and hand calculations) of a CNS model 10-160
Type B cask, with impact limiters removed, to determine acceptability
related to reference 2.1 performance, design, and testing requirements for

Contractors are hereby informed that either their employees or their
representatives present on property under NNSY cognizance must follow
Federal and State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
requirements in addition to NNSY Occupational Safety, Health and
Environment (OSHE) Program Manual NAVSHIPYDNORINST P5090.2
requirements, or safety requirements for the site specific location of the
Contract.
Defense Biometric Identification System and NAVSEA Badging
All contractors, with the exception of permanent party (or “seated” contractors with
Common Access Cards (CACs), will be required to obtain a DBIDS card to gain access
to NNSY.
Procedure for receiving a DBIDS card:
a. Contractor will complete the SECNAV 5512 form(s) and forward them to their NNSY
Sponsor/Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).
b. The sponsor will complete the CVS spreadsheet utilizing the information on the
completed SECNAV5512 forms and forward all documents to Commander Navy region
Mid-Atlantic (CNRMA) for vetting.
c. CNRMA will add the contractor to the “179-Day List” which is utilized by the Pass and
ID office to create the DBIDS card.
d. Once on the 179-Day List, the contractor may go to Pass and ID to have their DBIDS
card generated.
e. Green NAVSEA access badges can be generated at this point with contractors
providing proof of U.S. Citizenship (Birth Certificate/ US Passport).
Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs)
A PED is defined as any non-stationary electronic apparatus with singular or multiple

b. NAVSEAINST 2200.1A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES POLICY
c. SECPROMAN Vol 1 5510.36 Rev E
In accordance with ref (a), personally owned camera enabled PEDs will be authorized
inside of the Controlled Industrial Area (CIA) and all
Security Islands. Camera enabled PEDs will remain unauthorized within Controlled
Nuclear Information Areas (CNIAs), Nuclear Work Areas (NWAs) and Open Storage
Areas.
All PEDs, camera enabled or not, are still prohibited within NWAs and Open Storage Areas.
The allowance of camera enabled PEDs inside of the CIA and Security Islands does not negate
existing photography policies. Unofficial photography, filming of video, or live streaming from
the camera-enabled PED remains prohibited within the CIA or any NAVSEA controlled space
outside of the CIA. Further, audio recordings (both digitally or magnetically) in NAVSEA spaces
is prohibited without the approval of the Code 1120 Security Director.
