This document, "Attachment 3 ES7035 Description Sheets," outlines the requirements for preparing Energetic Material Description Sheets and Propellant Loading Authorization Sheets. It specifies that these documents must be prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-1171B when required by the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL).

• Standard Compliance: Adherence to MIL-STD-1171B is mandatory.
• Data Repository: The Worldwide Ammunition-data Repository Program (WARP) must be used for storing the data sheets.
• Access to WARP: Access to WARP is through the Munitions History Program (MHP) network at https://mhp.redstone.army.mil/.
• Flow-Down Requirement: The MIL-STD-1171B requirement applies to contractors and their suppliers, vendors, or subcontractors.
• Data Entry: Contractors are responsible for on-screen entry of data sheets into the WARP system.
• Electronic Signature: A typed signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature and certifies the accuracy of the information.

Bidders must understand that if this attachment is part of the CDRL, they will be required to prepare and submit specific energetic material and propellant loading data sheets according to MIL-STD-1171B, utilizing the WARP system. This requirement extends to any subcontractors involved. Familiarity with MIL-STD-1171B and the WARP system will be necessary for compliance.
