DRAFT

Demilitarization of Specified Families of Ammunition Performance Work Statement (PWS) 2

July 2025

1. Objective: The objectives of this effort are to utilize government facilities at Hawthorne

Army Depot (HWAD) to demilitarize (demil) and dispose of conventional ammunition, missiles, and other related munitions and components per task order requirements.

Demil is the act of eliminating the functional capabilities and/or inherent military design features from Department of Defense (DOD) materiel. Demil methods and degree range from removal and destruction of critical features to total destruction by cutting, crushing, shredding, melting, burning, open detonation, or other methods.

Demil is required to prevent property from being used for its originally intended purpose and to prevent the release of inherent design information that could be used against the United States.

2. Utilizing HWAD demil facilities, the contractor shall properly demil and dispose of any assets of conventional ammunition, including missiles, energetic/inert components, and all packaging material as identified by each demil task order. Assets may be in storage in the Army Resource Recovery and Disposition Account (B5A) at HWAD or shipped into HWAD by the DOD. The contractor shall have overall responsibility for demil, disposition, and disposal. The contractor shall provide qualified, trained, and experienced personnel to perform all demil activities.

2.1. The contractor shall maintain all demil locations to the maximum Net Explosive

Weight (NEW) and capacity at all times, in accordance with the approved explosive site safety plans.

2.2. The contractor shall comply with all existing and pertinent International, Federal (i.e. DoD, DOT, etc.), State, and Local statutes, laws, and regulations for the safeguarding, handling, processing, storage, transportation, disposition and disposal of ammunition and explosives in accordance with DoDM 4145.26, “DOD Contractor’s Safety Manual for Ammunition and Explosives”, DoD Manual 4140.72, "Management of Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard", DoDI 4140.62, “Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard (MPPEH)”, and DESR 6055.09 Defense Explosives Safety Regulation, and MPPEH”, 49 CFR Hazardous Materials Transportation Regulations and DA Pam 385-64 “Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards”. In the event of any conflict, the most stringent document shall apply.

2.3. The contractor shall provide information and support for all Demilitarization taskers received from higher headquarters. In addition, the HWAD Government Demil Staff will set internal suspense dates for submission of taskers.

3.2. The assets to be demilitarized are unserviceable, excess, and/or obsolete munitions and therefore complete Technical Data Packages (TDPs) may not be available. The government will assist, to the maximum extent possible, in making a reasonable and prudent search of all available technical databases and historical archives to obtain the end item drawings, any major component drawings, and any associated characterization data. The contractor shall ensure that they have adequate technical information that is needed to safely demil each item. When in doubt, the contractor shall contact the Government QASAS prior to demil.

3.3. Items to be demilitarized may include classified information or components. The contractor shall comply with FAR 52.204-2, Security Requirements. This clause involves access to information classified “Confidential” or “Secret” and requires the contractor to comply with— (1) The Security Agreement (DD Form 441) and (2) the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (DoDM 5220.22).

Classified TDPs, if available, shall only be released to authorized individuals with the appropriate security clearance and the need to know. The contractor shall collaborate closely with Government QASAS for all items that are classified.

3.4. When performing operations on classified material, all personnel within or having access to the facility/operation shall have a security clearance equal to or higher than the classification of the material being processed.

3.5. The contractor shall maintain an up-to-date listing of all ammunition personnel and their associated security clearance; and make the listing available to government staff upon request.

4. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): The contractor shall prepare and submit

SOPs to the PCO or ACO for review and concurrence. The contractor shall maintain SOPs for demil for each item to be demilitarized IAW Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA PAM) R 700-107, Preparation of Standard Operating Procedures for Ammunition Operations and a Demil Process Plan in accordance with DoDM 4160.28, Volume 1 “Defense Demilitarization: Program Administration,” DoDM 4160.28, Volume 2 “Defense Demilitarization: Demilitarization Procedures, DoD Manual 4140.72, "Management of Material Potentially Presenting an Explosive Hazard", DoDI 4140.62 MPPEH, DESR 6055.09 Defense Explosives Safety Regulation, DI-SAFT-81640, DA PAM 385-64 “Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards” and CDRL B001. SOPs are a step-by-step documentation describing the demilitarization, disposition, disposal, destruction, recycling processes, procedures, facilities, and special tools and equipment to be used by the contractor from start to finish in accordance with AMC R 700-107. SOPs shall include a completed Deliberate Risk Assessment (using DD Form 2977), as well as a process map and time-phased demil plan for the entire end item and associated component parts. SOPs shall also address any line rejects or expected anomalies. The contractor shall not begin demil of any items until the ESSP, Demil Process Plan, and SOPs are reviewed and concurred by the Government.

The Government shall be given a minimum of 10 business days to review and concur with SOPs and/or other documents. The Government expects unlimited rights to all SOPs created under this contract.

4.1. Prior to the start of each contractor demil process verification period, the contractor shall submit SOPs with the process map and demil plan(s) to the Government QASAS for review. The process map and plan will address from start to finish (storage to billing) what is going to be demilled as well as where, how and when. Example: Move 81MM mortars from magazine X to line Y on Z1 date. The 81MM mortar are to be disassembled on line Y on Z1 date. The disassembled fuzes are to be moved to location A for final demil on Z2 date; the 81MM loaded bodies are to be transferred to location B for final demil on Z2 date;

packing boxes are to be moved to location C for final disposal on Z3 date; and fines with primers are to be transferred to location D for final disposal on Z3 date, etc. The intent is to ensure long lapse times do not exist between disassembly and demil, creating the need for additional storage space and extra handling.

(CDRL B002)

4.2. SOPs shall be standalone documents for the operator and should not need to refer to other documents for consideration during specific operations.

5. Process Verification. The contractor shall perform demil process verification (dry run) of each new process/item to include inert materials in accordance with AMC R 700-107. This process/period is a limited time to verify that all equipment function properly, the required SOP is complete, and the operators receive the necessary training prior to the Government walk-through or a “pilot trial run”. Minimal ammunition is expected to be run during the contractor’s demil process verification period. Any process verification requiring more than 100 rounds to prove/validate the operation will need the Government QASAS approval prior to exceeding the 100 rounds limit.

5.1. SOPs shall be provided to government staff for review at least 10 business days prior to performing a government operational walk-through. The contractor shall not perform demil operations on any item(s), inert or energetic, until after the government walk-through has been successfully completed. Successful completion shall be determined by the government. The contractor shall incorporate all SOP changes discovered during the government walk-through into the SOP prior to start-up of full production.

5.2. Demil operations are not considered Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) or Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) operations. Every aspect of the process/operation shall have a clear and detailed SOP procedure to include line rejects.

6. Donor Material. The contractor shall perform OD operations with donor material.

Donor material may consist of a combination of the contractor's recovered explosive and/or the government furnished material (such as TNT). For pricing purposes, the contractor is required to provide the complete unit price for the OD operations, excluding the cost of the donor material. Donor material will be priced separately and negotiated at the time of task order as a separate cost.

7. The contractor shall completely demilitarize the assets, to include ensuring proper disposition, treatment, or disposal of all materials IAW DoDM 4160.28, Volume 1 “Defense Demilitarization: Program Administration,” and DoDM 4160.28, Volume 2 “Defense Demilitarization: Demilitarization Procedures.”

The contractor shall dispose of all components and by-products of the ammunition being demilitarized in an environmentally safe manner in accordance with the associated demil code, at the contractor’s expense.

7.1. All propellants, explosives, Pyrotechnics, and hazardous materials that can be successfully recovered and recycled may be recovered by the contractor. The contractor shall provide a legible copy of the end use, MDAS, and Demil certifications in accordance with CDRLs B003, B004, B005 and B006 to the Government QASAS; and maintain all certifications through the life of the contract for any demilitarized components for re-sale. The contractor’s prices shall reflect any estimated or anticipated proceeds from recovered materials/components and from scrap.
