Attachment (1) 2

Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort required of the contractor to support the AIM-9X program assessment of the material and obsolescence changes in the MK139 Rocket Motor. Testing activities include providing engineering services and test support to the USG; making available technical documentation and acquisition of Lot Acceptance Test (LAT) data and reports; developing, executing, and reporting on test activities; rocket motor obsolescence management and providing related support activities for all variants of the MK 139 Rocket Motor. The contractor’s support of the activities for the AIM-9X rocket motors will consist of delivering rocket motors and related materials to the USG, static fire testing and data collection of baseline and artificially aged rocket to measure performance beyond the rocket motor’s 10-year design life. In rendering support to the identified tasks, outputs may take the form of, but are not limited to data, alternatives, analyses, evaluations, processes, and/or recommendations to support the Government’s production assessment program.
