STATEMENT OF WORK

BLU-136/B WARHEAD PRODUCTION

10 July 2019

1. DESCRIPTION: This Statement of Work (SOW) addresses activities to be performed by the contractor to manufacture the BLU-136/B Warhead for the Department of the Air Force.

1.1. Background: The Government has a requirement to replace the CBU-87 and CBU-103 cluster weapons with the BLU-136/B warhead to obtain necessary improvements to cluster munitions. The BLU- 136/B is a Next Generation Area Attack Weapon being developed in response to the 2008 OSD Cluster Munitions Policy for Unexploded Ordinance (UXO) limitation. The initial requirement driven by the policy is <1% UXO for cluster munitions. The BLU-136/B will be a 2000lb unitary fragmenting warhead design that will be compatible with the existing GBU-31 JDAM Guidance system and the DSU-33 height of burst sensor to provide combatant commanders an effective area attack weapon. BLU-136/B will be integrated on the F-16 Block 40/50 as a Threshold platform with compatibility to all USAF GBU-21V3 JDAM platforms. This unitary fragmenting warhead addresses the area attack capability gap created by 2008 Cluster Policy.

1.2. Scope: This SOW defines the roles and responsibilities of the contractor in providing the production, materials, data, and support for the production and delivery of BLU-136/B Penetrator Warhead Assemblies in accordance with (IAW) the Technical Data Package (TDP). The Contractor shall be available and prepared to perform all requirements identified in this scope and provide the necessary management, material support services, labor, supplies and equipment deemed necessary. The contractor shall demonstrate how personnel with appropriate skills and training meet the specific requirements of the prescribed standard. EXAMPLE: Welding processes and personnel performing welding shall be certified in accordance with America Welding Society (AWS) Standard D17.1. Specific requirements for production will be identified at the delivery order level. Delivery Orders issued under this contract are considered in the scope of this SOW and contract to the extent that the support provided is in direct relation to the BLU-136/B production requirements. Delivery orders issued under this contract may contain a more defined requirement as reflected in the contract Section B, CLIN descriptive data or as shown as an attachment to the order as a Statement of Work, Integrated Master Plan, or other requirements type document as mutually agreed to by the contracting parties. In no case shall an order be issued under this contract that is not in direct support of the BLU-136/B.

2. PERFORMANCE PERIOD: The basic contract ordering period shall not exceed seven (7) years from the date of contract award. Performance on orders shall not exceed three (3) years beyond the last day of the basic contract ordering period.

3. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: The performance on this contract will take place at the contractor’s designated production facility and/or their subcontractor’s facilities.

4. ORDERING PROCEDURES: Orders will be issued by a Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) in accordance with the ordering procedures identified in Attachment 3 of the Basic IDIQ Contract.

5. BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS: The Contractor is responsible for any subcontract management necessary to integrate work performed on this requirement and shall be responsible and accountable for subcontractor performance on this requirement. The Contractor shall manage work distribution to ensure there are no Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) considerations.

6. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: All drawings, specifications, and standards applicable to the BLU- 136/B program are included in the TDP, contract and/or delivery orders.

7. SECURITY: The contractor will not require access to classified source data. The contractor shall protect the TDP, drawings, and data pertaining to the BLU-136/B Warhead production as “For Official Use Only” as specified in the National Industrial Security Manual (NISPOM) DoD Manual 5220.22-M, dated 28 February 2006. An unclassified document containing FOUO information shall be marked “For Official Use Only” at the bottom on the outside of the front cover (if any), on each page containing FOUO information, and on the outside of the back cover (if any). Each paragraph containing FOUO information shall be marked as such.

The contractor shall protect all technical documents, e.g. BLU-136/B Technical Data Package, that are determined to contain critical technology and are marked with a Distribution Statement D: “Distribution Authorized to Department of Defense and U.S. DoD Contractors Only, Critical Technology, 20 June 2015.

Refer Other Requests For This Document to AFLCMC/EBDA, Eglin AFB, FL, 32542.” Further dissemination shall be in accordance with the provisions in DoD Instruction 5230.24 and Distribution Statement D.

The contractor shall protect all technical documents, e.g. BLU-136/B Technical Data Package, that are determined to contain export –controlled technical data and are marked: “WARNING – This document contains technical data whose export is restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (Title 22, U.S.C., Sec 2751, et q.), or the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended Title 50, U.S.C, App.2401 et seq.

Violations of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. Disseminate in accordance with the provisions in DoD Directive 5230.25.” When it is technically infeasible to use the entire statement, an abbreviated marking may be used, and a copy of the full statement added to the “Notice to Accompany Release of Export Controlled Data” required by DoD Directive 5230.25 (reference (c)).
