The document titled "Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD" serves as an informational resource for military packaging requirements, specifically authored for use by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). It outlines the key regulations and standards related to the packaging and marking of Department of Defense (DoD) items, referencing various specifications, including MIL-STD-2073-1 and ASTM D3951.
The guide covers critical aspects such as hazardous materials regulations, military preservation methods, and the importance of proper labeling based on the mode of transportation. It defines different levels of military packing designed to protect items during transport and storage, emphasizing inspections and quality assurance processes that contractors must adhere to.
Additionally, it provides a detailed breakdown of packaging requirement codes (PRC), which are essential for translating packaging needs from contracts or orders. Appendices offer supplementary guidance on military packaging requirements, design validation, and compliance measures. The document ultimately aims to establish standards to ensure the integrity of DoD items and facilitate effective logistics within the defense supply chain.
The document outlines the overhaul requirements for a Turbo Supercharger (non-aircraft) with the stock number 2950-01-118-7979, specifically used in the 270 WMEC A & B Class main diesel engines. It mandates that items delivered must match the designated part number and any discrepancies should be reported to the Coast Guard Contracting Officer. The turbocharger needs to be overhauled per SFLC specifications, with a warranty ensuring protection against defects for up to two years after delivery. Government acceptance will occur at the destination, verified by a representative. Each unit must be individually packaged in a protective wooden box and marked appropriately with necessary details. The document identifies Fairbanks Morse Defense as a recommended source for this item, with a maximum overhaul cost estimate of $189,148.78. This file signifies the federal government's standards for equipment maintenance and procurement processes in defense contracting within the Coast Guard context.
