This document, "MILITARY STANDARD 129 MARKING AND SHIPPING LABEL REQUIREMENTS," provides guidance on compliance with MIL-STD-129R for marking and labeling shipments. It outlines requirements for unit, intermediate, and exterior containers, including specific data elements and formats for labels and bar codes. This information is crucial for vendors to ensure their shipments are correctly identified and processed, particularly for Department of Defense (DOD) and GSA (General Services Administration) orders.

• Marking Requirements: Details the specific information required on labels for unit, intermediate, and exterior containers. This includes NSN/NATO stock number, CAGE code, part number, quantity, contract/purchase order number, preservation method and date, shelf life, and serial numbers.
• Military Shipping Label (MSL): Specifies the format and content of the MSL, which is mandatory for all shipping addresses. It includes fields for Transportation Control Number (TCN), Transportation Account Code (TAC), Type of Service, Priority, Ship To/POE address, Project Code, Weight, Cube, Date Shipped, Piece Number, and Ultimate Consignee.
• Bar Code Requirements: Outlines the specifications for linear (Code 39) and 2D (PDF417) bar codes, including the data elements they must contain.
• Packaging and Packing: References relevant standards and clauses for packaging, including specific requirements for hazardous materials and wood packaging materials.
• Hazardous Materials (HM): Notes additional requirements for marking and labeling hazardous materials, referencing DOT HMR, OSHA HCS, and other relevant regulations.

Vendors must adhere to these marking and labeling requirements to avoid shipment delays and ensure compliance with government contracts. Understanding the specific data elements, label formats (especially the MSL), and bar code specifications is essential for preparing accurate shipping documentation. Failure to comply can lead to "frustrated freight" at DOD facilities. The document also highlights that MIL-STD-129R takes precedence over any conflicting guidance.
