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 compiles information from various government packaging documents, pamphlets, and technical manuals for instructional use.

This guide is relevant to bidders as it outlines the standard practices and requirements for military packaging and marking within the Department of Defense (DoD). It details:

• Locations of Packaging Requirements: Identifies where packaging and marking requirements are typically found within solicitations and contracts (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section J - Attachments).
• Hazardous Materials Packaging: Specifies modal regulations (Land, Water, Commercial Air, Military Air) and marking requirements (MIL-STD-129) for hazardous materials.
• Military Preservation Methods: Describes five basic methods (Method 10-50) for preserving items, including physical protection, preservative coatings, and waterproof/watervaporproof protection.
• Military Packing Levels: Details Level A and Level B packing requirements for severe and moderate worldwide shipment conditions, respectively, as well as minimal packing requirements.
• Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC): Explains the coding system used to specify packaging requirements, including quantity, preservation, cleaning, wrapping, cushioning, and container types.
• Inspection Provisions: Outlines preservation and packing inspections, including visual examinations, leakage tests, and heat-sealed seam tests.
• Package Markings: Details the four types of basic markings (Identification, Bar Code, Address, Special) required on unit, intermediate, and exterior containers.
• Key Specifications and Websites: Lists relevant military standards (MIL-STD) and ASTM standards, along with useful websites for packaging code look-up and defense specifications.
