AMMUNITION SPECIFICATION SUMMARY

This is an Ammunition Specification document (FD2020-25-51836) dated July 17, 2025, for air munitions with NSN 1377015918912ES and Department of Defense Identification Code (DODIC) JN19. The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for ammunition manufacturing, testing, quality assurance, documentation, and hazardous material handling. Contractors must provide advanced Reports of Shipment (REPSHIP) to consignees no later than 24 hours prior to arrival, or for ammunition shipments no later than two hours after departure. All ammunition must undergo lot numbering per MIL-STD-1168C with energetic ingredients and components sourced from single material lots. Ammunition Data Cards (ADC) must be completed and one hard copy must accompany each shipment. Items require marking per CAD/PAD Item Marking Instruction Version 1.6 (dated March 6, 2023), and packaging/shipping documents must reflect hazard classification information per JHCS standards. If Net Explosive Weight (NEW) is altered to adjust performance and exceeds the listed weight, an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) must be submitted to the government prior to manufacturing or at least 60 days before shipping, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and supporting documentation.

The specification mandates rigorous testing and quality control requirements. Contractors must generate a Lot Acceptance Test Plan (LATP/ATP) with analysis or test results for Hill AFB engineering approval at least 90 days before lot acceptance testing commences, allowing 30 days for approval. Items must pass both gross and fine leak checks per MIL-STD-883L Method 1014.18, and lot acceptance testing must incorporate high-speed video and pressure taps of the motor. Contractors must furnish Lot Acceptance Test/Inspection Reports in WAWF and notify the PCO/ACO and Air Force Engineering Organization (AFLCMC/EBHJ, avery.johnson.3@us.af.mil) within one business day of any end-item failures. Energetic materials and components (explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics, cartridges, initiators) must not exceed 24 months from original manufacturing date and be traceable to DoD-qualified manufacturers in compliance with ITAR Parts 120 and 121. Raw ingredients in blended energetic materials must not exceed 24 months from manufacture date. This item is designated a Critical Safety Item (CSI); contractors must maintain ISO 9001:2015 or equivalent quality systems and radiographic equipment meeting ASTM E1742, ASTM E748, and ASTM E545 standards. Radiographers must be Level II or Level III certified per NAS 410. Additional requirements include submission of Obsolescence Alert Notices, DMSMS Health Assessment Reports, monthly production status reports, and compliance with DFARS 252.223-7002 and 252.223-7003 for ammunition and explosives safety, plus AFMAN 24-204(I) if air shipment of explosives is included.

The production lot(s) must be manufactured and presented to the Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) with all production documentation. The documentation accompanying the production lot test samples shall contain the contract number, item, lot number identification, DODIC, NSN, and serial numbers. The samples shall be selected, at random, from each production lot, by the Government QAR within 2 workdays for resident QARs, or 7 workdays for non-resident QARs after presentation of the lot.

- Production lot testing shall be witnessed by a representative of the Government engineering activity and/or the cognizant Government QAR and shall be in accordance with the latest Government approved Lot Acceptance Test Procedure.

SECTION E – CAD/PAD INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

- The Contractor shall provide and maintain a quality program acceptable to the Government and modeled on ISO 9001:2015 or an equivalent quality system such as AS9100. This quality system along with program specific production documentation shall be made available for review by the Government’s representative upon request, at the Contractor’s facility at no cost to the Government.

- Radiographic equipment and procedures shall meet the standards stipulated in the latest revisions of ASTM E1742, ASTM E748, and ASTM E545. Radiographers shall be qualified and certified Level II or Level III in accordance with the requirements described in specification

NAS 410.

- Due to the critical nature and safety application of these items, the Contractor and Government QARs are cautioned that it is mandatory to ensure the correct identification and nomenclature are assigned for all items and shipping containers prior to shipment including CAGE codes.

17. The contractor is allowed to pre-select no more than 30% of the required production lot test samples per lot which have external cosmetic defects such as nicks, dings, scratches, paint blemishes, plating blemishes, and small burrs. These units can be used as pre-selected production lot test samples as long as the units do not create an interference with the test fixture.

The selection of those samples shall be noted in a discrepancy report that shall identify the item part number, DODIC, contract, lot number, serial numbers of the pre-selected units, and the cosmetic defect of each serial number. DCMA shall be notified in advance by submission of the discrepancy report of the preselected production lot test samples with external cosmetic defects prior to submission of the production lot for random sample selection. LAT units preselected under this premise shall be noted in the Lot Acceptance Test Report.

18. Any rework or repair on nonconforming material, beyond approved operation procedures and/or after product has been submitted to the government, shall be approved by EBH procurement engineering authority prior to rework and repair of the nonconforming material. (see Attachment 5, Clause ES7034)
