This document is the "Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD" published by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) in March 2014. It serves as an informational guide for familiarization purposes and is not an official DoD adoption or a replacement for contractual requirements, specifications, or regulations. The guide compiles information from various government packaging documents, pamphlets, and technical manuals for instructional use.

This guide is relevant to bidders as it outlines the locations within solicitations and contracts where packaging and marking requirements are typically found (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section J - Attachments). It details various packaging methods (Level A, Level B, minimal packing), preservation methods (Methods 10-50), and specific requirements for hazardous materials, commercial packaging (ASTM D-3951), military packaging (MIL-STD-2073-1E), palletization (MIL-STD-147), and marking (MIL-STD-129). Bidders should consult this guide to understand the potential packaging and marking requirements that may be specified in a contract or solicitation, which can impact product preparation, shipping, and overall cost.
