About this file
This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for ordnance assessment testing of Tomahawk Electric Detonators, specifically for forty-two (42) fleet-returned units from Raytheon (P/N 76Z2737-7, -9) and PacSci (P/N 817447). The testing will be conducted at Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Co. in Hollister, CA, and involves comprehensive non-destructive, environmental, and functional testing to evaluate ordnance safety, performance, and reliability of aged parts.
The testing protocol includes multiple stages of inspection and testing, such as radiographic inspections, bridgewire resistance checks, insulation resistance, dielectric strength testing, thermal transient tests, hermetic seal verification, and functional testing at varying temperatures (-65°F, 70°F, 160°F). The Navy intends to sole-source this contract to Pacific Scientific Energetic Material Co. under solicitation N00174-25-SIMACQ-E2-0035, with interested parties able to respond by May 28, 2025, at 10 AM EST. The contract will be a firm fixed-price arrangement, with the government providing the test units as Government Furnished Material (GFM).

1 INTRODUCTION
Scope. This statement of work (SOW) defines the efforts to conduct non-destructive, environmental, and functional (performance) testing of forty-two (42) Tomahawk Electric Detonators (Raytheon P/N 76Z2737-7, -9, PacSci P/N 817447) at Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Co. located in Hollister, CA for the purpose of ordnance assessment. The electric detonator test sample will consist of fleet returned units provided as government furnished material (GFM) by Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD).
Background. The last ordnance assessment testing was conducted at Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Co. located in Hollister, CA in May 2021 under contract #N00174-20-P-0336. Data resulting from non-destructive, environmental, and functional testing of government furnished fleet returned units is used to evaluate ordnance safety, performance, and reliability of the aged parts.
Government Furnished Material (GFM). The Government shall provide the following GFM to the contractor for use in performance of this contract:
Electric Detonator (Raytheon P/N 76Z2737-7, -9, PacSci P/N 817447) 42 each Only the property listed above and on the GFP Attachment will be furnished by the Government. All other property required for performance of this contract shall be furnished by the contractor.
Within 30 days after GFM is determined by the contractor to be lost, damaged, destroyed, no longer usable, or no longer needed for the performance of the contract, the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer, in writing, thereof.
Disposition instructions for the GFM are as follows: All material shall be destroyed by the contractor.
The contractor shall submit the Government Property Inventory Report within 30 days after completion of functional testing in accordance with CDRL A001.
On-Site Visit and Coordination. The contractor shall notify NSWC IHD at least ten (10) working days prior to functional testing so government representative(s) can make travel arrangements to witness testing.
