This document is the Department of Defense Standard Practice for Military Packaging (MIL-STD-2073-1E, w/Change 4, dated April 22, 2019). It establishes standardized military packaging processes designed to protect materiel against environmentally induced corrosion, deterioration, physical damage, and other forms of degradation during storage, multiple handling, and shipment within the Defense Transportation System (DTS). The standard applies to all DoD departments and agencies, particularly for items entering the DTS that are intended for wartime deployment, depot-level repairables, reusable containers, deliveries at sea, and Security Assistance or Foreign Military Sales. It details a comprehensive, twelve-digit position-sensitive coding system used to define precise packaging and preservation specifications. Key provisions covered include: * **Decision Logic and Categorization:** A structured decision chart to evaluate items by chemical, physical, and fragility characteristics to determine the appropriate packaging category (common, selective, or special). * **Preservation Methods:** Detailed requirements for five basic methods of military preservation ranging from physical protection (Method 10) and preservative coatings (Method 20) to waterproof and watervaporproof barriers with or without desiccants (Methods 30, 40, and 50). * **Packaging and Packing Levels:** Guidelines for Level A (severe conditions) and Level B (moderate conditions) packing, reusable container selection (long-life and short-life), and electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) item controls. * **Appendices and Forms:** Detailed instructions on quantity per unit pack (QUP) formulas, container selection, development of modification kits, packaging design validation, quality assurance provisions, and the Container Design Retrieval System (CDRS).

This federal contract document incorporates several Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses by reference and details compliance requirements for commercial products and commercial services. Key incorporated clauses include instructions to offerors, commercial item evaluations, and representations regarding covered telecommunications and video surveillance equipment. The core of the document is FAR Clause 52.212-5, "Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders—Commercial Products and Commercial Services." Under this clause, contractors must comply with several mandatory FAR provisions, such as prohibitions on contracting with Kaspersky Lab covered entities, restrictions on ByteDance applications, and protections for small business subcontractors. It also includes placeholder lists for the Contracting Officer to select applicable clauses regarding set-asides, labor standards, environmental standards, and foreign trade restrictions. Additionally, the document outlines the Comptroller General's authority to audit and examine the contractor's records for three years post-payment. Finally, it specifies the strict flow-down requirements, listing the limited set of FAR clauses that the prime contractor is required to cascade to subcontractors for commercial items.
