• ADC Preparation: ADCs shall be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-1168 (current revision) and the WARP format. Specific requirements are tailored from MIL-STD-962 for the CAD/PAD program.

• Energetic Materials: Lot numbers for energetic materials (pyrotechnics, propellants, explosives) must follow MIL-STD-1168. ADCs must include common name, original manufacturer's part number & revision, lot number, and date of manufacture. Traceability is required via original manufacturer's documentation (COC, COA, QAR, etc.). Contractor's internal part numbers may be used if the original manufacturer's details are included in parentheses and searchable in WARP. GFM/GFP must retain government-provided part/lot numbers.

• Hardware Components: All hardware components must be fully traceable with original manufacturer's lot identification information or qualified distributor's documentation. Date of manufacture is not required for non-age degradable materials. Organic materials (epoxies, sealants, etc.) require full traceability to OEM with DOM.

• Exclusions: Materials or components that do not affect the reliability or safety of the end item (e.g., solvents, paints, labels) do not need to be listed on the ADC.

• WARP System: ADCs are entered into the WARP system. A "sample" ADC is generated first for approval, followed by a final version for each production lot. Approved ADCs are uploaded for iRAPT (formerly WAWF) prior to shipment.

• Hard Copy: A hard copy of the applicable ADC(s) must be included with each shipment.

• Traceability: Ensuring positive traceability for all materials and components is a key requirement.

• Compliance: Adherence to MIL-STD-1168 and WARP format requirements.

• Submission: ADCs must be submitted through WARP for government review and approval.

Not specified in the SOW text.

• WARP Access: Procedures for accessing the WARP system are provided, including requirements for CAC/AKO accounts or DoD-approved digital certificates (ECA). Contractors are responsible for the cost of ECA certificates.
• Information Updates: Contractors must notify WARP system administrators of new contracts within 30 days, providing contract number, item, GARA, manufacturer's symbol, and input personnel names. New producers must obtain a manufacturer's identification symbol.
• Conflict Resolution: Contractors must propose resolutions for any unique situations that conflict with compliance requirements prior to contract award.
