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

This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for preparing Ammunition Data Cards (ADCs) for the US Air Force (USAF) and US Navy (USN) CAD/PAD program. The ADCs must comply with MIL-STD-1168 and the format required by the Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP).

• ADC Preparation: ADCs shall be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-1168 (current revision), tailored for CAD/PAD program requirements per MIL-STD-962.

• Energetic Materials: Lot numbers, common names, original manufacturer part numbers & revisions, and dates of manufacture for energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants, explosives) must be included. Traceability requires original manufacturer documentation (e.g., COC, COA, QAR). Contractor's internal part numbers can be used if the original manufacturer's details are included in parentheses and searchable in WARP. Ingredients used in synthesis or blending are not required to be listed.

• Hardware Components: All hardware components must be fully traceable with original manufacturer lot identification or qualified distributor documentation. Non-age degradable materials do not require the actual date of manufacture. Organic materials (epoxies, sealants, O-rings, etc.) require full traceability to OEM with DOM.

• Exclusions: Materials not affecting end-item reliability or safety (e.g., solvents, paints, labels) do not need to be listed.

• Traceability: Data in WARP should ideally stand alone for traceability. Contractor's internal "trace" IDs or POs must be noted in the remarks section if used for non-critical parts.

• Submission Process: A "sample" ADC is generated in WARP for initial approval. Upon approval, a final version for each production lot must be completed in WARP and uploaded for Invoicing, Receipt, Acceptance, and Property Transfer (iRAPT) prior to shipment.

• Hard Copy: A hard copy of the applicable ADC(s) must accompany each shipment per the ADC CDRL.

• ADCs must be accurate and complete, reviewed by the Government Agency Responsible for Acceptance (GARA), typically the DCMA QAR.

• WARP provides automated email notifications for required actions and approvals.

Not specified in this document.

• WARP Access: Procedures for accessing WARP are provided for users with and without CAC/AKO accounts, including obtaining necessary digital certificates at contractor expense.
• Information Updates: Producers must notify WARP administrators (usarmy.RIA.jmc.mbx.warp@mail.mil) of new contracts within 30 days, including contract number, item, GARA, manufacturer's symbol, and input personnel. New producers must obtain a manufacturer's identification symbol.
• Conflict Resolution: Contractors must propose resolutions for any unique situations conflicting with compliance prior to contract award.
