The “Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD” provides an informational overview of packaging, preservation, and marking requirements for Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. It outlines where packaging requirements are found in solicitations and contracts, including sections on supplies, services, and contract clauses. The guide details packaging standards like ASTM D-3951 for commercial packaging and MIL-STD-2073-1E for military packaging, which applies to items requiring protection for severe worldwide shipment and storage. It explains military preservation methods (e.g., physical protection, waterproof, watervaporproof with desiccant) and military packing levels (A, B, and minimal XC-5). The document also covers quality assurance provisions, various types of package markings (identification, bar codes, address, special markings), and specific requirements for hazardous materials, heat-treated wood packaging, palletization, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This guide serves as a foundational resource for contractors to understand and comply with DoD packaging regulations, though it emphasizes that contractual requirements take precedence.
