Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This document outlines the requirements for preparing Ammunition Data Cards (ADCs) for the USAF & USN. The ADCs are crucial for the Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP) and ensure traceability of ammunition components.

• ADC Preparation: ADCs must be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-1168, with specific tailoring for CAD/PAD program requirements as per MIL-STD-962.

• Energetic Materials: Requirements for lot number assignment, manufacturer's part number, lot number, and date of manufacture for energetic materials and their constituents.

• Traceability: Emphasis on ensuring traceability through documentation like Certificates of Conformance (COC), Certificates of Analysis (COA), and Quality Assurance Records (QAR) for both energetic materials and hardware components.

• Internal Part Numbers: Contractors may use internal part numbers but must also provide the actual manufacturer's part number, lot number, and date of manufacture.

• Hardware Components: Full traceability is required for hardware components, identified by the original manufacturer's lot information or qualified distributor's documentation.

• Non-Age Degradable Materials: Date of manufacture is not required for non-age degradable materials like metal housings, unless they affect reliability or safety.

• Organic Materials: Epoxies, sealants, curatives, and O-rings require full traceability to the OEM with the date of manufacture.

• WARP System: ADCs are to be entered and submitted through the WARP system for government review and approval.

• ADCs must meet the format requirements of MIL-STD-1168 and the specifications in this SOW.

• Traceability must be positive and verifiable in the event of a product recall.

Not explicitly stated in this document, but implies ongoing contract requirements for ADC preparation.

• WARP Access: Procedures for accessing the MHP-WARP system are detailed, requiring either a CAC card or an approved DoD digital certificate.
• Notification: Contractors must notify WARP administrators within 30 days of receiving a new contract, providing contract details and personnel information.
• Hard Copy: A hard copy of the applicable ADC(s) must be included with each shipment per the applicable ADC CDRL.
