This document outlines the detailed specifications for hot weather, flame-resistant, coyote combat boots, intended for DLA Troop Support. It covers inspection, acceptance, and packaging requirements, including DLA packaging, quality, and traceability standards. Key requirements include barcoding with NSN and UPC, strict quality assurance for defects like variations in height, stains, or faulty stitching, and component material testing for the first three lots. Packaging instructions specify unit packaging in one-piece boxes, with six pairs per fiberboard shipping container. Palletized loads must adhere to specific dimensions, contain only one NSN and UPC where possible, and be clearly marked, including for mixed loads. All wood packaging materials must comply with WPM requirements. Marking on unit packs and exterior containers must include item name, NSN, UPC with barcode, contract number, and "MADE FOR DLA TROOP SUPPORT" for exterior containers, with RFID identification for depot shipments. This ensures quality, traceability, and proper handling throughout the supply chain.
