107 This document incorporates technical and/or quality requirements (identified by an “R” or an “I”

108 number) set forth in full text in the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements found on

109 the web at: http://www.dla.mil/HQ/Acquisition/Offers/eProcurement.aspx. For simplified acquisitions,

110 the revision of the master in effect on the solicitation issue date controls or the award data controls.

111 For large acquisitions, the revision of the master in effect on the RFP issue data applies, unless a

117

118 1) Additional Packaging and Marking Requirements:

119

120 (a) Prohibited cushioning and wrapping materials: Use of asbestos, excelsior, newspaper,shredded

121 paper (all types, including wax paper and computer paper), and similar hygroscopic or non-neutral

122 materials and all types of loose-fill materials, including polystyrene, is prohibited for application such

123 as cushioning, fill, stuffing, and dunnage. In addition, the use of yellow wrapping or packaging

124 material is prohibited, except where used for the containment of radioactive material.

125

126 (b) MIL-STD-129 establishes requirements for contractors that ship packaged materiel to the

127 Government to provide both linear bar codes and two-dimensional (2D) symbols on shipping labels.

128 Shipping labels with 2D symbols are referred to as Military Shipping Labels (MSL) and are required

129 on all CONUS and OCONUS shipments with the following exceptions:

130

132 type items shipped within the Continental United States (CONUS) to customers within CONUS;

133

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

135 locations at the customer location prior to issuance to the customer. Government control begins upon

136 placement of the item by the contractor into the designated location or issuance from the designated

137 location by contractor personnel (i.e., the contractor is required to stock bins at the customerlocation

138 and/or issue parts from a contractor controlled parts room).

139

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

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

142 liquid; a maximum net mass greater than 400 kg (882 pounds) and a capacity greater than 450139 L

143 (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a solid; or a water capacity greater than 454 kg (1000140 pounds) as

144 a receptacle for a gas.

146 (4) Medical items procured through Customer Direct suppliers or prime contractors that do not enter

147 the Defense Transportation System.

148

149 (5) Delivery orders when the basic contract has not been modified to require MIL-STD-129.

150

151 (c) MIL-STD-129 provides numerous illustrations of what should be bar-coded and the

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

153 Web Site at:

154 http://www.dla.mil/LandandMaritime/Offers/Services/TechnicalSupport/Logistics/Packaging.aspx

155

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

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

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

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

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

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

162 applicable) and lot number.

163

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

165

166 (a) Assets packed in or on wood pallets, skids, load boards, pallet collars, wood boxes, reels, dunnage,

170 (WPM)". WPM must be stamped or branded with the appropriate certification markings as detailed in

171 DOD 4140.65-M and be certified by an accredited American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC)-

172 recognized agency. The WPM certification markings must be easily visible, especially in pallet loads,

173 to inspectors.

174

175 (3) Palletization shall be in accordance with MD00100452, REVISION C, DATED 09/2016 found at

176 http://www.dla.mil/LandandMaritime/Offers/Services/TechnicalSupport/Logistics/Packaging/Palletiz

177 ation.aspx. Among the required pallet’s characteristics are winged sides and 4 way entrance.

178 Complete specification of the acceptable pallets can be found in Part 9 of ANSI MH1.

179

180 (4) If vendors/contractors providing Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) sensitive items encounter a situation

181 in which the packaging requirements in the contract reflect ASTM-D3951 and do not reflectMIL-STD182 2073 Military ESD packaging (i.e. Method of Preservation GX, etc.) requirements, then the

183 vendor/contractor must contact the contract issuing agency (i.e. DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Aviation,
