RA001 TECHNICAL AND QUALITY REQUIREMENT DOCUMENTATION

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

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

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

revision of the master in effect on the solicitation issue date controls. For large acquisitions, the revision 

of the master in effect on the RFP issue data applies unless a solicitation amendment incorporates a 

follow-on revision, in which case the amendment data controls.

(End of TQ Requirement)

RD002, COVERED DEFENSE INFORMATION APPLIES:

This item and/or associated data has been determined to contain, utilize, or generate covered defense information 

(CDI). CDI is unclassified controlled technical information or other information, as described in the controlled 

unclassified information registry that requires safeguarding pursuant to DFARS 252.204-7012.

(End of TQ Requirement)

RD003, COVERED DEFENSE INFORMATION MAY APPLY:

At the time of award conditions may not exist which would indicate this item and/or associated data are subject 

to DFARS 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information (CDI). However, should conditions arise 

after award which generate CDI, the contractor shall contact the contracting officer to reassess the conditions. 

CDI is defined as unclassified controlled technical information or other information as described in the 

controlled unclassified information registry that requires safeguarding pursuant to DFARS 252.204-7012.

RP001: DLA PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS FOR PROCUREMENT

1) Additional Packaging and Marking Requirements:

(a) Prohibited cushioning and wrapping materials: Use of asbestos, excelsior, newspaper,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-129 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) to customers 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 greater than 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-STD-129.

(c) MIL-STD-129 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-129 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 
6

the 13 character PIID (e.g. SPE8EJ16F0001) on the MIL-STD-129 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)

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

dunnage, crates, frames, and cleats must comply with the Heat Treatment (HT) or Heat 

Treatment/Kiln Dried(HT/KD) (continuous at 56 degrees Centigrade for 30 minutes) standard in 

DOD Manual 4140.65-M"Compliance for Defense Packaging: Phytosanitary Requirements for 

Wood Packaging Material(WPM)". WPM must be stamped or branded with the appropriate 

certification markings as detailed in DOD 4140.65-M and be certified by an accredited American 

Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC)-recognized agency. The WPM certification markings must 

be easily visible, especially in pallet loads, to inspectors.

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

https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Packaging/. Among the required pallet’s characteristics are 

winged slides and four way entrance. Complete specification of the acceptable pallets can be found in Part 9 of 

ANSI MH1. 

 

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

which the packaging requirements in the contract reflect ASTM-D3951 and do not reflect MI-SD 2072 

Military ESD packaging (i.2. Method of Preservation GX, etc.) requirement, then the vendor contractor 

must contact the contract issuing agency (i.e. DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Aviation, DLA Troop 

Support) to seek clarification for the proper packaging requirements. 

(5) DLA Troop Support-Subsistence FSG 89 National Stock Numbers establishes special requirements for 

Packaging (Preservation Method and Preservative Material). For all Packaging, Packing, Labeling, 

Unitization, and Marking (PPLUM)-Use DLA Troop Support Form 3556 for PPLUM 

https://www.dla.mil/Portals/104/Documents/TroopSupport/Subsistence/Rations/forms/3556.pdf

unwrapped, one ticket shall be attached to each piece and one additional ticket shall be attached to

the roll. 

(d) Where permitted, when two or more pieces are put up on the same roll and the roll is shipped

wrapped, one ticket shall be attached to each piece and two additional tickets shall be attached to the

roll. One of the additional tickets shall be inserted in the paper tube and the other such additional

ticket so positioned that, though covered by the wrapping, it can be readily located and drawn. An

Gauges and other measuring and testing equipment used for product acceptance shall conform 

to specified technical requirements and shall be calibrated in accordance with International

Organization for Standardization (ISO) 10012: Latest Revision -“Requirements for the 

Measurement Processes and Measuring Equipment,” excluding paragraph 7.3.1 of ISO 10012-

Latest Revision, and adding the requirements that “The collective uncertainty of the 

measurement standards shall not exceed 25 percent of the acceptable tolerance for each 

characteristic being calibrated. The contractor’s calibration system description may include 

provisions for deviating from the uncertainty requirements, provided the adequacy of the 

calibration is not degraded. The contractor shall be responsible for assuring that the sources 

providing calibration services, other than U.S. National Bureau of Standards (NBS) or DOD

laboratories, are capable of performing the required service to the satisfaction of this ISO 

standard. Certificates or reports from other than the U.S National Bureau of Standards or DOD

Laboratory shall attest to the fact that the measurement standards used in obtaining the results 

are traceable.”
