EDRM - Enhanced Drogue Rocket Motor

Solicitation FA8213-26-R-3036 is a firm fixed price requirement issued by the Department of the Air Force, AFLCMC EBHK, for the procurement of Enhanced Drogue Rocket Motors (NSN 1377-01-591-8912 ES, DODIC JN19). These critical safety items, constructed from machined metal and plastic with energetic propellant, are used in ejection seats to provide necessary thrust for altitude gain. The procurement is designated as unrestricted, though Rockwell Collins Inc. has been identified as the sole source. The current requirement specifies 33 units for Lot 1, with delivery schedules set at 20 months after receipt of order for Lot 1 and 26 months for Lot 2. The contract mandates stringent quality and safety standards, requiring certification to ISO 9001-2015 and compliance with DoD 5100.76-M for safeguarding arms, ammunition, and explosives. Key deliverables include a comprehensive set of eleven Contract Data Requirements List items, such as Ammunition Data Cards and Lot Acceptance Test Plans. Due to the hazardous nature of the material, the contractor must adhere to rigorous packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1, MIL-STD-129, and specific hazardous material shipping regulations for UN0186. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the origin, with mandatory source inspection and the use of Wide Area WorkFlow for invoicing and receiving reports.
