About this file
This is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation FA821326RB002, issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, with an effective date of April 9, 2026. The amendment extends the proposal deadline from April 24, 2026 to May 8, 2026 at 4:00 PM local time. The contracting officer is Ryan C. Mitchell, and offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the new deadline through completion and return of the amendment, acknowledgment on each copy of the offer submitted, or separate written communication.
The amendment attaches a revised Performance Work Statement (PWS) for Aging and Surveillance and addresses solicitation questions and responses received from potential contractors. Key changes to the PWS include clarifications regarding Tritonal aging using bombs with known diurnal cycles, modifications to testing requirements in paragraphs 2.2.4.3 and 2.2.4.4 to indicate contractors will not need to purchase equipment for DAX and CYLEX testing, revisions to Table 2 specifying requirements for Ordering Groups 32, 33, 35, and 36, updates to Tables 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 to establish specific core quantities and test specimen counts for Firm Fixed Pricing, clarification of the Fill/Liner Subscale Testing section (paragraph 2.4), modifications to the Period of Performance to 36 months, and corrections to the Table of Contents and formatting throughout the document. The PWS addresses bomb aging and surveillance testing requirements across multiple bomb sizes (500-lb, 1,000-lb, and 2,000-lb) with specific testing methodologies and performance parameters.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
The purpose of the amendment is to attach a revised PWS and post the questions and comments received, as well as Block 14 (Description of Amendment/Modification):
USAF responses. This amendment also provides an extension to the proposal deadline.
Changes to the PWS are described in Section C of this amendment.
Solicitation questions and comments received are as follows along with USAF responses:
Q: How is aging of Tritonal to be accomplished?
A: Tritonal-filled bombs that have known number of diurnal cycles will be provided for sectioning, coring, and subscale testing.
Q: The paragraph references in Table 2 are a bit confusing. Paragraph 2.0 is the section heading for everything contained in this section with subparagraphs 2.1-2.7. Is the intent to impose paragraphs 2.1 - 2.6? This same question applies to each instance where a major section heading is called out, ie (2.0, 3.0, 4.0) A: Major headings typically have contextual info, so those headings have been included in Table 2 as well.
Q: With regards to paragraph 2.2.4.3, in the past DAX and CYLEX testing has been performed by government labs such as LLNL. Mandating the contractor SHALL use these techniques implies the contractor either has the equipment to perform these tests or will need to procure the equipment. Is that the intent of this paragraph?
A: Added the words "data from" to indicate contractor will not need to purchase equipment and perform this testing.
Q: The subparagraphs in 2.2.4.4 include "shall" language that dictates the contractor must create the methods, purchase the tooling and provide facilities necessary to perform LPWG testing. The first subparagraph in this section provides an "If possible" statement about transitioning this work to contractor facilities. How do we interpret "shall" in these paragraphs? What is the expectation of the Air Force.
A: Modified 2.2.4.4 to clarify USAF requirement.
Q: In Table 8, there is no direction on how to age the subscale performance test specimens:
A: Updated PWS provides detail.
Q: In Table 8, It seems the total core count is not correct. 10 cores are required to perform each Dent Rate test and 15 is a minimum number of cores to perform the Gap Test. To properly do these two tests 25 cores is needed for the zero time test and 200 cores to satisfy 8 pulls to support 4 additional test events. That is a total of 225 cores and that is for one aging temperature profile. The same number of cores would be required for each additional temperature profile.
A: Updated PWS provides defined quantities.
Q: Regarding Table 8, it is not possible to get enough cores from single bombs of any size to perform Dent Rate and Gap Testing properly to get viable data.
A: Updated PWS to account for bomb size limitations for total number of cores that can be tested.
Q: In Table 10, a discreet number of Microtome samples and cores for Firm Fixed Pricing required by Ordering group #25.
A: 2 Samples/cores are required
Q: Paragraph 2.4 Fill/Liner Subscale Testing is too open ended for Firm Fixed Pricing. Performance parameters must be specific.
A: Modified 2.4 Fill/Liner Subscale Testing section.
This amendment extends the proposal deadline to 4:00 PM local time 08 May 2026.

Added Notes 3 and Note 4 to table.
- In paragraph 2.2.4.3, removed the sentence "Other aging periods and/or thermal cycling of energetic samples may be explored using the same or similar tests at the discretion of the AF." This was done is response to a comment received, recommending this effort be cost reimbursable.
