The "Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD" provides essential information for defense contractors on packaging and marking requirements. While not officially adopted by DoD, this March 2014 guide serves as an informational resource, detailing packaging specifications found in solicitations and contracts. It covers hazardous materials, emphasizing compliance with modal regulations, and distinguishes between commercial (ASTM D-3951) and military (MIL-STD-2073-1E) packaging standards. The guide outlines various military preservation methods (e.g., physical protection, preservative coating, waterproof/watervaporproof protection) and packing levels (A and B), along with quality assurance provisions from MIL-STD-2073-1E. It also details marking requirements, including identification, bar codes, address, and special markings (e.g., shelf-life, hazardous materials). The document addresses wood packaging material (WPM) heat treatment and RFID requirements, providing useful websites and key specifications for further reference.
