DEMILITARIZATION AND DISPOSAL OF CONVENTIONAL AMMUNITION

REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AIR FORCE (RSAF)

LUKE AFB, GLENDALE, AIRIZONA

MAY 2023

1.0 SCOPE: The contractor will palletize, mark/label, and secure (Ref: MIL-STD 129 Military Marking for Shipment and Storage), pick up, transport, and demilitarize/dispose of conventional munitions by a recognized industry standard method complying with all State and Federal laws for a variety of conventional munitions. An approved industry standard method includes, where appropriate, flashing in the thermal treatment unit for pyrotechnics, detonation, etc. Title (i.e. ownership) of components is transferred to the contractor for disposal when round is fully demilitarized. Although these munitions were used by RSAF, they are conventional munitions, purchased from the United States Air Force (USAF). The contractor will be provided an indoor location to prepare the shipments with pallets, banding, a pallet jack, and forklift/operator.
