The "Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD" produced by the Defense Contract Management Agency serves as an informational resource for military packaging practices, though it has not been officially adopted by the Department of Defense (DoD). The guide outlines essential packaging requirements for both solicitations and contracts and encompasses topics such as hazardous material regulations, specifications for military and commercial packaging, and visual inspection protocols. Key standards referenced include MIL-STD-2073-1E for military packaging and ASTM D3951 for commercial standards. The document advises that packaging must comply with various modal regulations based on the means of transport, and delineates levels of protection for different items based on their sensitivity to shipping conditions. The structure includes sections on packaging requirements, preservation methods, and comprehensive appendices detailing specific guidelines for container development and quality assurance. Detailed information aims to ensure that materials are adequately protected during transportation and storage, thus supporting operational readiness for military supplies. Overall, the guide is a crucial tool for contractors and government entities involved in the procurement and handling of defense materials.
