This is an Ammunition Specification document dated June 12, 2025, for contract FD2020-26-50014, covering four rocket motor NSN/DODIC combinations: 1377-01-620-3027ES (MT33), 1377-01-517-5499ES (JM43), 1377-01-619-6871ES (MT34), and 1377-01-517-5493ES (JM44).

The specification establishes comprehensive technical and quality requirements for rocket motor production and delivery. Contractors must provide advanced Reports of Shipment (REPSHIP) no later than 24 hours before arrival for general shipments or two hours after departure for ammunition. All items require Ammunition Data Cards completed per attachment specifications and must be marked per CAD/PAD Item Marking Instruction Version 1.6. All four NSN variants are classified as Hazard Class/Division 1.3C (Rocket Motors, UN0186) with specified Net Explosive Weights ranging from 0.605257 to 0.65 lbs per item. Contractors must comply with TB 700-2 for explosive hazard classification and submit all Engineering Change Proposals, Notices of Revision, and Request for Variances through established procedures with cognizant government engineer approval for minor items and Configuration Control Board review for major items. Production requirements include gross and fine leak checks per MIL-STD-883L Method 1014.18, with Lot Acceptance Test Plans submitted 90 days prior to testing. Energetic materials and components cannot exceed 24 months age from original manufacture and must be traceable to DoD-qualified manufacturers and compliant with ITAR Parts 120 and 121. Percussion primers require certification/recertification within 24 months (or 2 years if Navy certified) including sensitivity and dud testing, with X-ray inspection before use. All items are designated Critical Safety Items with MRB approval authority retained by government engineers. Contractors may pre-select up to 30 percent of production lot test samples with cosmetic defects, provided DCMA receives advance notification. The specification mandates MIL-STD-1916 sampling procedures with Verification Level IV for major characteristics and VL II for minor characteristics, and requires monthly production status reports, obsolescence alerts, DMSMS health assessments, and compliance with DFARS ammunition and explosives safety requirements including AFMAN 24-604 for air shipments.
