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: Requirements for lot number assignment, traceability, and listing of energetic materials (including constituents) are detailed.

• Traceability: Emphasis is placed on ensuring positive traceability of all energetic materials and hardware components through original manufacturer documentation (e.g., COC, COA, QAR). Internal contractor part numbers may be used but must be linked to the actual manufacturer's information.

• Non-Critical Components: Materials or components that do not affect the reliability or safety of the end item (e.g., solvents, paints) do not need to be listed on the ADC.

• Traceability: All materials and components must ideally stand alone for traceability to the actual manufacturer's information.

• WARP Submission: ADCs must be submitted through the WARP system for government reviews and approvals. A "sample" ADC must be approved before production lot ADCs can be submitted.

• Invoicing & Acceptance: Approved ADCs are required for Invoicing, Receipt, Acceptance, and Property Transfer (iRAPT) via WAWF prior to shipment.

Not explicitly stated in this document, but implies ongoing contract performance requiring ADC preparation.

• WARP Access: Procedures for accessing the MHP-WARP system are provided, including requirements for CAC cards or approved digital certificates for contractors without CAC.
• Notifications: Contractors must notify WARP administrators of new contracts and provide specific information. Procedures for obtaining a Manufacturer's identification symbol are also included.
• Documentation: A hard copy of the applicable ADC(s) must be included with each shipment per the applicable ADC CDRL.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Request for Variance (RFV) Form (DD Form 1694) used to request a deviation from established specifications or requirements for a product or system. It details a proposed change and its impact.

• Variance Title: JM60 Catapult battery voltage check
• System: CKU-5C/A (JM60), affecting F-16, F-22 systems.
