Shipping Procedure Brass Shells

This document is an attachment outlining the procedural requirements for the collection, handling, and destruction of expended brass shell casings for Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and Yakima Training Center.

The contractor must deliver collection containers (10-yard roll-off or 4x4 scrap containers with lockable lids) to brass pickup locations at JBLM's Ammo Supply Point, McChord Field Ammo Supply Point, and Yakima Training Center Ammo Supply Point. Upon receipt of containers holding non-deformed brass shell casings, the contractor must sign paperwork acknowledging the load and note the shipping seal number for all subsequent documentation. The contractor is required to store containers in a secured area until a government representative arrives to witness the deforming process at the contractor's location or at a contracting officer-approved site. The government representative will coordinate with the contractor to establish a witnessing date as soon as possible after the containers are delivered. The contractor must deform all non-deformed brass shell casings using approved methods including crushing, shredding, granulation, ordnance deformation, hammer mill shredding, rotary blade granulation, heating, flame treatment, smelting, or other contracting officer-approved methods that render the casings permanently unusable for restoration. A certificate of destruction must be provided for each batch of deformed brass. Following verification of deformation, the contractor generates an invoice to JBLM for payment, with monthly invoices following standard contract processes.

Attachment 04 – Shipping Procedure Brass Shells

Shipping Procedure Brass Shells

1. Contractor is required to drop off collection containers at locations at Joint Base Lewis McChord and Yakima Training Center. Containers will be 10 yard roll off or 4x4 scrap collection containers. All containers will have lids and will be lockable to prevent any access to the container.

2. Contractor will be required to sign paperwork acknowledging receipt of containers holding brass shell casings that have not been deformed. The containers will have a shipping seal identifying the load. The seal number will be used by the Contractor and the JBLM on all paperwork generated for the load.

3. The Contractor is required to store the container, in a secured area, until a government representative arrives to watch the deforming of the brass shell casings at the Contractor’s location or at a location approved by the contracting officer or contracting officer’s representative.

4. The government representative assigned to witness the deforming of the brass shells will work with the Contractor to establish a date to witness the deforming as soon as possible after the buyer hauls the containers to the Contractor’s location.

5. Contractor is required to deform all non-deformed brass shell casings and is defined as follows: expended brass casings must be properly crushed, shredded, granulated, or deformed using an ordnance deformer, hammer mill shredder, rotary blade granulator, heating, flame treatment or other approved methods, to include smelting of brass, provided the end result renders the casings useless beyond the possibility of restoration for use as a cartridge or shell casing. A certificate of destruction will be provided for each batch of deformed brass.

6. After the load of expended brass shell casings have been deformed and verified an invoice will be generated by the Contractor and sent to JBLM for the payment of the load. Monthly invoices will follow the process of the contract.
