61--Replenishment Spares for Test Launch Batteries to support MM III

The contract involves the production and delivery of test launch batteries to support the MM III program, with specific adjustments made to the original scope to comply with range safety requirements. The First Article units previously planned have been re-designated as Design Re-Qualification units, with the quantity increased to eight units. This change is necessary because any item that has not been produced for over a year requires design re-qualification. Of these eight units, four will undergo a 60-day wet life test, while the remaining four will be subject to a 120-day wet life test. In addition to these, six units previously categorized as Production Articles are now reclassified as Engineering units, allowing for earlier delivery to meet customer demands. These Engineering units will be produced alongside the re-qualification units. In total, there will be 48 units produced and delivered under this contract. This comprises 42 Production Article units and 6 Engineering units intended for earlier delivery, while the 8 Re-Qualification units will be used exclusively for testing purposes and not delivered. The contract is identified by solicitation number FA8206-13-R-01178 and falls under NAICS code 336419, concerning aircraft parts and accessories manufacturing. The point of contact for the contract is Jocelyn K Nance, reachable via email or phone. The contract aims to ensure the availability and compliance of the replenishment spares for test launch batteries within the MM III system.
