RP001: DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement

1. Additional Packaging and Marking Requirements: 

a. Prohibited cushioning and wrapping materials: Use of asbestos, excelsior, newspaper,
6 

shred paper (all types, including wax paper and computer paper), and similar hygroscopic or 

non-neutral materials and all types of loose-fill materials, including polystyrene, is prohibited for 

application such as cushioning, fill, stuffing, and dunnage. In addition, the use of yellow 

wrapping or packaging material is prohibited, except where used for the containment of 

radioactive material.

b. MIL-STD-129R establishes requirements for contractors that ship packaged materiel to 

the Government to provide both linear bar codes and two-dimensional (2D) symbols on 

shipping labels. Shipping labels with 2D symbols are referred to as Military Shipping Labels 

(MSL) and are required on all CONUS and OCONUS shipments with the following

exceptions: 

1) Subsistence items procured through full-line food distributors (prime contractors), 

“market ready” type items shipped within the Continental United States (CONUS) tocustomers 

within CONUS.

2) Any item for which ownership remains with the contractor until the item is placed in 

designated locations at the customer location prior to issuance to the customer. Government 

control begins upon placement of the item by the contractor into the designated location or 

issuance from the designated location by contractor personnel (i.e., the contractor is required to 

stock bins at the customer location and/or issue parts from a contractor-controlled parts room).

3) Bulk petroleum, oil and lubricant products delivered by pipeline; or tank car, tanker 

and tank trailer for which the container has a capacity greater than 450 L (119 gallons) as a 

receptacle for a liquid; a maximum net mass greater than 400 kg (882 pounds) and a capacity 

greater than 450139 L (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a solid; or a water capacity greaterthan 

454 kg (1000140 pounds) as a receptacle for a gas.

4) Medical items procured through Customer Direct suppliers or prime contractors that 

do not enter the Defense Transportation System. 

5) Delivery orders when the basic contract has not been modified to require MIL-STD129R. 

c. MIL-STD-129R provides numerous illustrations of what should be bar-coded and the 

recommended placement of the bar code. Further information is available on the DLA Packaging 

Web Site at: https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations.Packaging/

d. PIID and MIL-STD-129R label marking requirements. The FAR has been amended to 

implement a uniform award identification system. This uniform numbering system is referred to 

as the Procurement Instrument Identification (PIID). For current DFARS compliant DOD 

contracts, cite the 13-character PIID (e.g., SPE8EJ16F0001) on the MIL-STD-129R label as the 

contract marking. For legacy contracts, cite the PIIN (contract number or purchase order number 

(e.g., SPE8EJ14D0002)) including four-digit delivery order or call number ((e.g., 959U) if 

applicable) and lot number. 

2. Requirements for Treatment of Wood Packaging Material (WPM)
