This initiative is crucial for the development and standardization of explosives manufacturing, particularly in the context of bulk explosives, which play a significant role in military operations. Interested parties can request copies of the draft document by emailing CommandStandards@navy.mil, with the review period concluding on February 27, 2025. It is important to note that this is not a solicitation, and the document is only releasable to DoD and U.S. DoD contractors, with specific requirements for foreign requests.
