This is an Ammunition Specification document dated July 15, 2026, for two power device cartridge products (MNSN 1377-01-391-5415ES and ANSN 1377-01-672-9909ES) under contract FD2020-26-51530. The specification establishes manufacturing, testing, documentation, and delivery requirements for explosive cartridges classified as Hazard Class 1.4 materials.

The contractor must provide advanced Reports of Shipment (REPSHIP) to the consignee no later than 24 hours prior to arrival for standard shipments or two hours after departure for ammunition shipments, including all required data per the attached REPSHIP format. All shipping documents must be submitted to 429 SCMS/GUMAB at Hill Air Force Base in Utah via mail, fax, or email. Ammunition lot numbering must comply with MIL-STD-1168C with each lot using energetic ingredients from a single material lot. Ammunition Data Cards must be completed per attachment specifications and accompany shipments; items require individual serial numbers listed on LOT ADCs. Items must be marked per CAD/PAD Item Marking Instruction Version 1.6 (dated March 6, 2023), and shelf life code marking is not required. Both items must pass gross and fine leak checks using MIL-STD-883L Method 1014.18 as guidance. The contractor must submit a Lot Acceptance Test Plan at least 90 days prior to testing commencement for Hill AFB engineering approval, allowing 30 days for review. Test failure notifications must be provided to the PCO/ACO and Air Force Engineering Organization (alyson.weber.ctr@us.af.mil) within one business day, with failure analysis reports required via CDRL (DI-SESS-80255B).

Critical material requirements include: energetic materials and components cannot exceed 24 months from original manufacturing date and must be traceable to DoD-qualified manufacturers and compliant with ITAR parts 120 and 121; percussion primers must be certified/recertified within 24 months (or 2 years if Navy certified) and X-rayed for defects prior to use; Hexanitrostilbene (HNS) explosive material, if used, must meet Government Document WS5003F with maximum particle size of 250 microns. The item is designated a Critical Safety Item with MRB approval authority retained by the government engineer. Contractors may pre-select up to 30 percent of production lot test samples with external cosmetic defects, provided DCMA is notified in advance via discrepancy report. Rework or repair of nonconforming material requires prior approval from EBH procurement engineering authority. Additional deliverables include Obsolescence Alert Notices (CDRL DI-MGMT-81941), Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Life Cycle Management data (CDRL DI-MGMT-82273), and monthly production status reports (CDRL DI-MGMT-80442) due within 14 days of First Article Test approval documenting delivery status, build status, and quality testing status.
