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 intended to replace contractual requirements, specifications, or regulations. The guide details various aspects of military packaging and marking, including:

• Locations of Packaging Requirements: Identifies where packaging and marking requirements are typically found within solicitations and contracts (e.g., Sections A through J).
• Hazardous Materials Packaging: Outlines modal regulations (Land, Water, Air) for packaging hazardous materials and specifies marking requirements per MIL-STD-129.
• Commercial Packaging (ASTM D-3951): Describes when commercial packaging may be appropriate and its relation to MIL-STD-129 marking.
• Military Packaging (MIL-STD-2073-1E): Details standard practices for military packaging, including its application to items for wartime deployment, reusable containers, delivery-at-sea, and long-term storage. It outlines various appendices covering requirements, containers, data forms, and codes.
• Preservation Methods: Describes five basic methods of military preservation (Methods 10, 20, 30, 40, 50) and provides detailed illustrations for specific methods (e.g., Method 10 Physical Protection, Method 20 with Preservative, Method 31 Waterproof Bag, Method 41 Watervaporproof Bag, Method 51 Watervaporproof Bag with Desiccant).
• Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC): Explains the coding system used to specify packaging requirements, including quantity per unit pack (QUP), intermediate container quantity (ICQ), preservation, cleaning, preservative material, wraps, cushioning, and container types.
• Quality Assurance Provisions: Outlines preservation and packing inspections, including visual examinations and leakage/heat-sealed seam tests.
• Package Markings: Details four types of basic markings: Identification, Identification Bar Code, Address Markings, and Special Markings, with examples provided.
• Specific Standards: References key specifications such as MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-147, MIL-DTL-117, MIL-DTL-6060, and ASTM standards.

This guide is highly relevant to bidders as it provides a comprehensive overview of the Department of Defense's (DoD) packaging and marking standards. Understanding these requirements is crucial for:

• Accurate Proposal Preparation: Bidders can anticipate and incorporate the necessary packaging and marking costs and procedures into their proposals.
• Compliance: Ensures that awarded contracts can be fulfilled according to DoD specifications, avoiding potential delays or penalties.
• Understanding Technical Requirements: Provides clarity on the expected methods of preservation, packing, and marking for items being procured by the DoD.
• Identifying Key Standards: Helps bidders identify the specific military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-2073, MIL-STD-129) that will likely be referenced in solicitations and contracts.
