This is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation N0010426RK065, issued by NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support on 22 April 2026 with an effective date of 22 April 2026. The amendment modifies the original solicitation for CAD/PAD (Cartridge Actuated Devices/Propellant Actuated Devices) supplies designated as a Critical Safety Item.
The amendment clarifies several key contract requirements through contractor questions and answers: (1) Government Furnished Property (GFP) primer quantity has been increased per Section H; (2) the response timeline for solicitation page 15, paragraph 9 has been extended from fifteen (15) calendar days to thirty (30) calendar days per Section E; and (3) project management reviews shall be conducted virtually with a maximum duration of one day per year. The amendment updates inspection and acceptance procedures in Section E to detail production lot test sample requirements, First Article Testing (FAT) protocols, and lot acceptance testing (LAT) procedures at Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD). Additional modifications address energetic materials requirements, radiographic testing specifications including X-ray and neutron radiography standards, ammunition data card preparation via the WARP system, and Government Furnished Property handling procedures. The contract requires 100% radiographic inspection of percussion primers/ignition devices prior to installation per ASTM E1742 specifications. Contractors must maintain all lot-related data for twenty (20) years and notify the Contracting Officer at least ninety (90) days prior to needing GFP delivery. The shelf life for CLIN 0001 is twelve (12) years. Administrative points of contact include the Acquisition Management Specialist Katherine Lusk (katherine.a.lusk.civ@us.navy.mil, 301-744-2223) and NSWC IHD CAD/PAD Division at Indian Head, Maryland.

3. The contractor is allowed to pre-select no more than 30% of the required production lot test samples per lot which have minor 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
The selection of the samples as long as the defects do not create an interference with the form, fit, or function of the unit and/or test fixture.
production lot test samples shall be noted in a discrepancy report (DR) identifying the item part number, DODIC, contract, lot number, serial numbers of the pre-selected units, and the cosmetic defects of each serial number. A copy of the DR shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer. A second copy of the DR shall be submitted to DCMA/QAR when presenting the production lot for random selection of the remaining lot test samples as stated in paragraph 4 below. The contractor shall also annotate the DR number in the remarks section of the ADC for the applicable production lot. This clause is only applicable to the production lot test samples and the external cosmetic defects mentioned above. If additional units with minor external cosmetic defects are part of the deliverable lot and the contractor would like for the government to accept those units "as is", then a RFV shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for the determination of disposition for those non-compliant deliverable units.
4. The production lot(s) must be manufactured and presented to the Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) with all applicable documentation. The documentation (WAWF-RRs and Ammunition Data Card printed from WARP) accompanying the production lot shall contain the contract number, item, lot number identification, DODIC, NSN, and serial numbers. The production lot test samples shall be selected, at random (unless following the exception noted in paragraph 3 above), from each production lot, by the QAR. The retains are considered part of the production lot test samples and shall also be selected, at random, from each production lot, by the QAR and identified as such.
NOTE: Sample units removed for testing from different lots shall not be commingled.
5. After the selection of the production lot samples and all required data, the samples shall be furnished and shipped by the Contractor to the testing activity set forth in within 15 calendar days of selection at no additional charge to the Government. The production lot test samples shall not Section F be considered received until all data necessary to evaluate the samples is received.

NOTE: If a test failure occurs during the Non-Destructive Test (NDT) phase of LAT, the engineering activity is authorize to continue with the remainder NDT series prior halting test (i.e. resistance failure and leak test still remains).
The production lot test samples are also subjected to destructive testing. These units cannot be used to meet fleet support requirements. Samples tested will not be returned to the Contractor. However, in the event there is a failure, or samples are rejected for some other reason, the Contractor may request the return of the affected samples and/or the entire production lot samples for disposition/examination and/or investigation. The written request to return rejected samples and/or the entire production lot samples shall be received by the Contracting Officer within fifteen (15) calendar days after notification of rejection. Any samples returned will be at the Contractor's expense.
8. All other contractual requirements, such as acceptance, shipment, and payment will not be accomplished until the production lot test samples have been tested, approved, and released for service use. The Contractor shall not make shipment of the production lot until receipt of written notification of approval by the Contracting Officer and final approval of the Material Inspection Receiving Report in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).
9. The only valid and contractually binding notification of production lot approval, conditional approval, or disapproval shall be in writing and issued by the Contracting Officer. This notification shall be made to the Contractor, within sixty (60) calendar days, after receipt of the production lot test samples, all required CDRLs and all necessary data by the Government Testing Activity. Any CDRLs provided by the Contractor deemed to be inaccurate and/or incomplete after engineering review will automatically reset the notification of production lot approval, conditional approval, or disapproval. Upon receipt of written notice accepting a production lot, shipment shall be made as soon as possible and no later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice.
a. Any notice of approval or conditional approval shall not relieve the Contractor from complying with all requirements of the specifications and all other terms and conditions of this contract.
b. A notice of conditional approval shall state any further action required by the Contractor.
c. A notice of disapproval shall cite reasons for such. In the event of a failure, the Contractor shall submit a Failure Analysis and Corrective Action Report (DD Form 1423, sequence number, ) with all associated costs and expenses to be borne solely by the Contractor. A004 "Failure" is defined as follows:
(i) Any of the test samples failing to meet the requirements of the specification and/or drawing,
(ii) Any of the test samples fracturing and/or exhibiting any cracks post-firing, unless specifically designed to do so,
(iii) A non-ignition or failure to fire.
10. At a minimum, the following is required:
a. Failure date
b. Failed part number (e.g. national stock number (NSN), logistics control number, work unit code)
c. Test or mission being performed when the failure occurred(LAT/FAT)

- Proposals for retrofit of all equipment already delivered or assembled, including recommended effectivity, in accordance with the contract
- Disposition of all defective material and material rendered obsolete because of any necessary redesign, to assure their exclusion from production items
- Identification of previous functional and environmental qualification tests, if any, invalidated by the corrective action changes and recommendation of those tests that should be repeated, in accordance with the terms of the contract, to demonstrate the corrective action's effectiveness.
11. If the production lot test sample is disapproved by the Government, the Contractor may be required, at the option of the Government and at the Contractor's sole cost and expense, to submit an additional production lot test sample(s) for test. After each notification by the Contracting Officer to submit an additional production lot test sample(s), the Contractor shall, at no additional cost to the Government, make any necessary changes, modifications, or repairs to the production lot or the Government QAR may be required to select another test sample for testing. Such additional test sample(s) shall be furnished to the Government under the terms and conditions and within the time specified in the notification. The Government shall take action on this test sample(s) within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt. The cost of each additional approval, and all costs and expenses related to such test(s) shall be borne solely by the Contractor.
Retest Cost for Item 0001 is: $55,102.70. (NOTE: Test costs are based on actual rates in effect at the time of issuance of the solicitation. In the The Government reserves the right to require an equitable decrease of the event of a test failure, actual cost at the time of retest will be assessed.)
contract price for any extension of the delivery schedule necessitated by additional tests.
12. If the Contractor fails to deliver any production lot test sample(s) within the time or times specified, or if the Contracting Officer disapproves any of the required CDRLs, the contract may be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning of the "Default" clause of this contract, and this contract may be subject to termination for default. In such an event, failure of the Government to terminate this contract for default shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to meet the delivery schedule for production quantities.

INDIAN HEAD MD 20640-5092
a. Test technique information for is specified in section 6 of ASTM E1742, refer to Contract Data Requirement List ALL radiographs (CDRL) DD Form 1423 sequence number . The radiographic images shall display a number of units representative of a production lot.A005 Units shall be positioned on the radiographic plate at the areas of minimum and maximum geometric distortion.
9. Notification of approval of the RTT shall be provided via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Written notification of rejection will be provided by the Contracting Officer. Approval of the RTT must be received prior to performing radiographic inspection of the production lot units. The Contractor shall then follow the approved technique to produce subsequent radiographs in accordance with the approved RTT. Any change in the approved radiographic technique or equipment requires submittal and approval of new RTT at the Contractor's expense.
a. There is hereby created an option for the Government to waive the requirement for submission of a RTT. The Contractor may only request a waiver for the submission of the RTT as long as the Cognizant Engineering Organization (CEO), which is NSWC IHD, has an approved RTT on file from a previous contract, and the x-ray equipment or RTT has not changed since the referenced contract. The following information shall be furnished by the Contractor when submitting the waiver for RTT:
Approved by ____________________________
Date of approval __________________
Contract number under which RTT was approved ________________________________
b. If the submission of the RTT is waived, the previously approved technique shall apply to the contract.
c. If the Contractor requests waiver of submission of the RTT after time of award, an offer of adequate consideration shall accompany the request. In order to fulfill contractual requirements, the Contractor must submit acceptable radiographs. Radiographs should be reviewed by a Level II or Level III certified radiographer in accordance with NAS 410. A radiographic report, including a list of serial numbers inspected, serial numbers rejected, and reason(s) for rejection will be submitted with the radiographs. Radiographs not conforming to the requirements specified herein will not be accepted by NSWC IHD. Disposition of nonconforming radiographs will be by mutual agreement of the parties.
10. In order to fulfill contractual requirements, the Contractor shall submit acceptable radiographs for each Contract Line Item. Radiographs shall be of an image quality to effectively inspect for acceptable assembly of components and defects. Radiographs should be reviewed by a Level II or Level III certified radiographer in accordance with NAS 410. Radiographs not conforming to the requirements specified herein will not be accepted by NSWC IHD. Disposition of nonconforming radiographs will be by mutual agreement of the parties.
11. Representative Quality Indicators (RQI) are recommended to be used on radiographic film or digital images for all CAD/PAD devices. The RQI (also known as a defect standard) contains a known defect (i.e. missing explosive charge, missing O-rings, etc.) placed next to a good unit for comparison, to aid in interpretation. Radiographic test technique shall include RQI to be used and RQI placement.
Propellant grains on PAD devices should be radiographed on film separately from the fully assembled unit even if the final assembly is radiographed using an approved digital radiographic technique. Image Quality Indicators (IQIs) on the radiographic film or digital image must also be used for radiographs of propellant grains for all PAD devices. The penetrometer to be used on the propellant grain radiographs must be made of Magnesium, which is radiographically similar to the propellant. The thickness of the penetrometer must be 2% of the total propellant thickness. The placement of the penetrometer(s) shall be on the part nearest the edge of the film cassette, at the outer edge of the cone of radiation. This allows for the measurement of the image quality or contract sensitivity at the area of maximum geometric sharpness. The penetrometer sensitivity must be 2-2T unless otherwise noted in the drawings or specification for the item being procured.
12. The Contractor shall submit radiographs as marked (X) below:
X-RAYS ( per applicable spec ) N-RAYS ( per ASTM E748 ) Sample / LOT Description
X First Article Sample
X Lot Acceptance Test Samples
X Production Lot Units
Explosive Sub-Assemblies (i.e., NON-GFP CTGS, Booster Sleeves, etc.)
Radiographs of Production Lot Units shall include Lot Acceptance Testing (LAT) samples.
13. Neutron radiographs (N-rays) shall be produced using film (conventional techniques). Radiographs (X-ray) shall be produced using non-film (digital) techniques such as Digital Detector Array (DDA), or Computed Radiography (CR), with the understanding that the Contractor must be qualified and given prior approval to use digital radiography by NSWC IHD. A qualification plan must be submitted to the Level III Radiographer at NSWC IHD for review prior to qualification of the digital x-ray system. Once the qualification plan has been reviewed and approved, the Level III Radiographer at NSWC IHD will conduct a site visit (i.e. audit) to witness the qualification of the digital x-ray system. The results of the tests performed during the digital x-ray system qualification will be documented in a qualification plan, which will be submitted to the Level III Radiographer at NSWC IHD. At a minimum, the qualification plan shall include information such as the type of system (Make/Model of DDA or CR system, x-ray sources etc.), as well as the specific types of tests (performance checks, as described in the ASTM standards) to be performed to verify the performance of the system. The tests are described in the appropriate ASTM standards (i.e. ASTM E2445 and ASTM E2033 for CR, and ASTM E2737 and ASTM E2698 for DDA systems). An official approval letter will then be issued by the Commanding Officer, NSWC IHD, which authorizes the use of the digital system. Follow up audits at regular intervals of every five years may be conducted to assure the long term stability and performance of the digital x-ray system. If digital radiographs are submitted, they shall be in the form of raw data that is Digital Imaging and Communication in Nondestructive Evaluation (DICONDE) compliant. In addition to the raw DICONDE data, 16 bit Tagged Image Format (TIF) images of the digital radiographs must be submitted. The qualification of non-film techniques will be done IAW the latest versions of standards referenced in the latest version of ASTM E1742 (currently ASTM E1742/E1742M-12), such as ASTM E2698 and ASTM E2737 (for the qualification of Digital Detector Array (DDA) detectors), or ASTM E2033 and ASTM E2445 (for the qualification of Computed Radiography (CR) systems).
14. When submitting the radiographic images, the Contractor shall also submit a report of radiographic inspection. This report shall clearly indicate the units subjected to radiographic inspection by the following data:
- Item Nomenclature and DODIC
- Span of serial numbers displayed
- Complete lot number
- Missing units by serial number
- Complete contract number
- Nonconforming units by serial number and reason
- Government drawing or part number for rejection
NOTE: For the span of serial numbers, include list of serial numbers for units that have been accepted. Any units found to be nonconforming shall be clearly identified. The specific nature of the non-conformance shall be cited, as well as any assignable cause or analysis related to the occurrence.
15. When undergoing radiographic inspection, each unit in the sample or lot shall be permanently serialized in consecutive numerical order per MIL- STD-1168 before radiographic inspection. Serial numbers shall not be repeated on items with the same part number regardless of changes in the lot number. The numbering shall be from left to right, top to bottom with the first item on the left of each row having the lowest serial number. All annotation must be represented using a method which leaves a permanent image on the radiograph, such as placing lead letters on the film cassette or digital detector prior to each exposure. It is NOT acceptable to use adhesive labels, or to write annotation on the radiograph using a marker or other writing instrument. Units that are missing on a radiograph must be indicated by identifying the serial number of the unit immediately preceding, and immediately following, the missing unit(s).All units shall be arranged on trays or boards in consecutive numerical order. Radiographs shall reveal internal components. This may require using various techniques which may include multiple exposures, multiple speeds of film being loaded for each exposure, or additional orientation of unit(s) i.e. 0 degree and 90 degree exposures. Any discontinuities in the serial numbers displayed shall be clearly marked on the representative radiographic image. Specific reasons for the missing serial number(s) and all rejects from the Contractor and QAR inspections prior to radiographic inspection shall be recorded on the radiographic inspection report as described in paragraph 14 and forwarded with the LAT sample. Row-unit-quantities shall be consistent except the ending row of the production lot, which may vary. In addition, serial numbers shall appear at the end of each row when more than 100 units appear on one radiograph image; these serial numbers may appear on tape and be affixed to the radiograph.
16. This radiographic image and report be shipped prepaid. The delivery of the radiographic image and report be in accordance with shall shall Contract Data Requirement List (CDRL) DD Form 1423, sequence number . The film be placed in film envelopes or sleeves. A006 shall Radiographic film be place into an appropriate shipping container that will not damage the film. The film envelopes be placed in either a shall shall fiberboard, cardboard, or wooden box. X-rays or N-ray film not be placed directly into a shipping container (i.e. FedEx or UPS box). X-ray or N-shall ray film not be rolled up and place in a shipping tube. When approved for digital radiography, digital radiographic images be shipped shall shall prepaid on a compact disc (CD). Digital radiographic images not be submitted on USB flash drives.shall
