Ammonium Perchlorate

Active

Contract Opportunity

The Government is seeking to acquire the following:

The Ammonium Perchlorate (AP), white granular, crystalline solid having a minimum

purity of 98.0%, a normal content of 0.2% tricalcium phosphate (TCP) as a

conditioner, and a nominal particle size of 200 microns.

AP shall be virgin material and meet the requirements of MIL-DTL-32103, and

Weapon Specification (WS) 18485A Material Specification Ammonium

Perchlorate (For use in PBX Explosives). Within this MILSPEC, AP shall

conform to all references made to MIL-DTL-32103, WS 18485A, and AFX-757.

Ammonium Perchlorate shall be packaged in 500-pound containers.

Due to the importance of the particle size distribution of AP, and the material’s

natural tendencies to absorb moisture, causing clumping/caking/deliquescence,

the AP shall be subjected to granulation requirements of WS 18485A, Table II, and

MIL-DTL-32103, for each lot of material provided to the Government. For

purposes of inspection, a lot of material shall consist of material manufactured in

one contiguous operation unless the material has been homogeneously blended

together. All material blended together during one batch of blending shall be

deemed one lot. Guaranteed Minimum: 36,000 pounds. ALL DELIVERIES

SHALL INCLUDE A PACKING LIST; CERTIFICATE OF

CONFORMANCE; CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS; MSDS; AND

HAZARDOUS WARING LABEL.
