Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "CAD/PAD Item Marking Instruction Version 1.6," provides detailed instructions for marking Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) components. It outlines the requirements for both Human Readable Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI) markings, specifically focusing on the implementation of Item Unique Identifiers (IUID) as mandated by DoD policy.

• Scope: Applicable to both new production and remanufacture of CAD/PAD components.
• Marking Requirements: Mandates the use of Data Matrix ECC 200 for MRI markings, adhering to MIL-STD-130 and DoD UID Guide.
• HRI Data: Includes Item Nomenclature, Manufacturer's CAGE code, Item Lot Number, Item Serial Number, and Manufacturer's Part Number. Optional markings like Date of Manufacture (DOM) are also specified.
• MRI Data Construct: Details the structure of the Data Matrix, including elements like CAGE, Part Number, Serial Number, Lot Number, and Date of Manufacture (in Julian Date format).
• Placement: Specifies methods for marking, including data plates, labels, flag-tags, ink, or laser etching directly on the item. For small items, a self-adhesive label in the inner packaging is required.
• Kit Marking: Outlines requirements for marking kits and ship-sets, including individual components and containers.
• JSF F-35 Instructions: Specific guidance for F-35 components, including Electronic Equipment Logbook (EEL) submission.
• Waivers: Waivers to the UID requirement are not permitted; requests for waivers to marking methods may be considered.

This document is critical for any bidder involved in the manufacturing, remanufacturing, or supply of CAD/PAD components. It defines the precise marking standards that must be applied to items, labels, and packaging. Understanding and complying with these marking requirements is essential for successful contract performance and acceptance of goods. Bidders must ensure their production processes and quality control systems accommodate these detailed marking specifications.

Statement of Work (SOW)

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for preparing Ammunition Data Cards (ADCs) for the USAF & USN. The ADCs are to be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-1168, with specific tailoring for the CAD/PAD program as detailed in MIL-STD-962.

• ADC Preparation: Contractors must prepare ADCs following the format required by the Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP).

• Energetic Materials: Specific criteria and procedures for assigning lot numbers to energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants, explosives) and their constituents are detailed.

• Traceability: All energetic materials and hardware components must be traceable to the original manufacturer's part number, lot number, and date of manufacture. Documentation such as Certificate of Conformance (COC), Certificate of Analysis (COA), or Quality Assurance Record (QAR) is required to ensure positive traceability for product recalls.

• Internal Part Numbers: Contractors may use their own internal part numbers but must also list the actual manufacturer's part number, lot number, and date of manufacture in parentheses, searchable in WARP.

• GFM/GFP: Government Furnished Material/Government Provided material must retain government-provided part/lot numbers and nomenclature.

• Non-Listed Materials: Ingredients used to synthesize or blend energetic materials (e.g., HNS, Lead Azide) do not need to be listed. Materials that do not affect the reliability or safety of the end item (e.g., solvents, paints) also do not need to be listed.

• WARP Submission: ADCs must be submitted through the WARP system. A "sample" ADC must be approved before final production lot ADCs can be submitted.

• Invoicing and Acceptance: Approved ADCs are required for Invoicing, Receipt, Acceptance, and Property Transfer (iRAPT) via the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system prior to product shipment.

• Email Notification: WARP provides automated notifications for actions required, including review, approval, or correction of ADCs.

Not explicitly stated in this document, but it pertains to USAF & USN Ammunition Data Cards.

• WARP Access: Procedures for accessing the MHP-WARP system are provided, including requirements for CAC cards or approved digital certificates for contractors without CAC.
• Contractor Notification: Contractors must notify WARP administrators within 30 days of receiving a new contract, providing contract number, item, GARA, manufacturer's identification symbol, and names of individuals inputting ADCs. New producers must obtain a manufacturer's identification symbol.
• Hard Copy: A hard copy of the applicable ADC(s) must be included with each shipment per applicable ADC CDRL.
