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-STD129. 

(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 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

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 MIL-STD 2073-1 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
