    This document outlines the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) for "Impulse, Cartridge" under contract N00104-26-N-B015. It details six data items (A001-A006): Obsolescence Alert Notice, Failure Summary and Analysis Report (SESS LATFAR and FATFAR), Acceptance Test Plan (Radiographic Test Technique), Test/Inspection Report (Radiographic Report and Film), and Ammunition Data Card (FAT/LAT ADC). Each item specifies its data item number, title, subtitle, authority document, contract reference, requiring office, distribution statement, frequency, and submission dates. The document emphasizes strict export control warnings and destruction notices for technical data. Distribution is authorized to DoD components only, with specific instructions for referrals. Submission frequencies vary per item, from one-time submissions to those contingent on failures or test schedules. The overall purpose is to establish comprehensive data reporting requirements for the procurement and testing of impulse cartridges.
    This Request for Quotation (RFQ) N0010426QK050, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, is for the procurement of MK124-0 Impulse Cartridges, identified as Critical Safety Items. The RFQ details strict requirements for supplies, services, pricing, technical specifications, and quality control, emphasizing strict compliance with MIL-C-81804 (AS) A, Notice 1, and SAE EIA-649 for configuration control. It outlines specific inspection and acceptance procedures, including First Article Testing (FAT) and Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT) conducted by NSWC IHD. Packaging, marking, and transportation must adhere to MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-2073, and CFR 49 regulations, with requirements for traceable seals and POP testing. Energetic materials must meet age and traceability standards. The document also specifies comprehensive reporting, such as Ammunition Data Cards (ADCs) and Wide Area Workflow Receiving Reports (WAWF-RRs), along with a detailed delivery schedule. The contractor must maintain an ISO 9001:2015 compliant quality program.
    This government solicitation amendment, N0010426QK050, issued on December 22, 2025, extends the closing date for offers from January 9, 2026, to January 30, 2026, at 2 PM EST. It also corrects a fill-in for clause 252.204-7025 in Section K, specifying a CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO) requirement. The amendment incorporates several FAR and DFARS clauses, including detailed representations regarding telecommunications and video surveillance services (FAR 52.204-24), place of performance (FAR 52.215-6), covered defense telecommunications equipment (DFARS 252.204-7016, 252.204-7017), NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment requirements (DFARS 252.204-7019), and the use of the Supplier Performance Risk System (DFARS 252.204-7024). A key update is the mandatory CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO) certification for contractors prior to award, as outlined in DFARS 252.204-7025.
    The CAD/PAD Ammunition Data Card Master (Rev 16) outlines the essential details required for an ammunition lot's "birth certificate," crucial for malfunction investigations and reclassification. This document serves as a guide for inputters and reviewers, ensuring consistency in data entry. Key sections include NSN, nomenclature, lot number, contractor, net quantity, packing, contract/order number, drawing information, specifications, dates (started, completed, inspected), charge and net explosive weights, test samples, and shipping details. A comprehensive components list, covering all parts down to raw materials, is required, emphasizing traceability. Remarks capture additional lot information like serial number ranges and rework procedures. The document also details approved waivers and deviations. It provides critical information on accessing the Worldwide Ammunition Repository Program (WARP), including future multi-factor authentication changes. The guide clarifies that the ammunition data card is not for specific shipments and highlights differences between FAT/LAT and production lot ADCs.
    The USAF & USN CAD/PAD Statement of Work outlines requirements for preparing Ammunition Data Cards (ADCs) according to MIL-STD-1168 and the Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP). It mandates detailed traceability for energetic materials and hardware components, requiring original manufacturer's part numbers, lot numbers, and dates of manufacture. Contractors may use internal part numbers but must also list original manufacturer details for WARP searchability. Specific requirements are detailed for different material types, including handling of aged energetic materials and non-age-degradable hardware. All ADC data must be standalone for traceability. A sample ADC requires approval in WARP before final production lot ADCs can be submitted via iRAPT. Access to MHP-WARP requires CAC or DoD-approved digital certificates. The document also provides guidance on ADC input, email notifications, and updating system administrators about new contracts.
    The "CAD/PAD Item Marking Instruction, V 1.6" outlines mandatory Unique Identification (UID) marking requirements for Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) components. This instruction, prepared by the CAD/PAD Joint Program Office, ensures compliance with Department of Defense policies and enhances accuracy in aircraft maintenance data systems. It mandates both Human Readable Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI) markings, with Data Matrix ECC 200 as the standard for MRI. The document details specific HRI data requirements, MRI data construct using Data Identifiers, and placement guidelines for various CAD/PAD item sizes and configurations. It also addresses marking for items delivered in kit format, emphasizing unique identifiers for individual components and kits. Waivers for UID requirements are not permitted. This instruction is critical for suppliers and manufacturers involved in the production and remanufacture of CAD/PAD components.
    This document is a Request for Variance (RFV) (DD Form 1694) submitted by ABC Manufacturing, Inc. on February 14, 2024, to the Procuring Activity N00104. The RFV, number 24CK999-V001, is for a pre-production minor variance titled "JM60 Catapult battery voltage check." The variance affects the CKU-5C/A (JM60) model, specifically the FLU-11/A Inflation Device, Water Activated, with part numbers 855AS110 and 1812-172-01. The purpose of the variance is to add a battery voltage check after the NO-FIRE SENSITIVITY test to ensure the battery voltage remains at required levels. An Engineering Change Proposal (ECPXX-XXX) is being processed to update the Technical Data Package (TDP). This is a recurring variance, as a prior RFV (XXXX-XXX) was limited to a specific lot, and the ECP for a permanent fix is not yet approved. The variance affects Lots K999-12345 and K999-67890, with no impact on performance, cost, or schedule. Jane Doe is the Contracting Officer, and John Smith is the Originating Activity and Submitting Authority.
