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 officially adopted DoD document. It compiles information from various government packaging documents, pamphlets, and technical manuals.

This guide is relevant to bidders as it outlines the general principles and specific methods for military packaging and marking. It details:

• Locations of Packaging Requirements: Where to find packaging and marking requirements within solicitations and contracts (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section J - Attachments).
• Hazardous Materials Packaging: Regulations and modal requirements (Land, Water, Air) for packaging hazardous materials.
• Commercial vs. Military Packaging: Guidance on when commercial packaging (ASTM D-3951) may be appropriate versus military packaging (MIL-STD-2073).
• Military Preservation Methods: Five basic methods (10-50) for preserving items.
• Military Packing Levels: Level A and Level B packing requirements for different environmental conditions.
• Packaging Requirement Codes: An introduction to the codes used in MIL-STD-2073-1E for specifying packaging requirements.
• Inspection Provisions: Details on preservation and leakage/heat-sealed seam tests.
• Package Markings: Types of markings required on unit, intermediate, and exterior containers, including identification, bar codes, address, and special markings.
• Key Specifications: A list of relevant military standards and ASTM standards for packaging.

Bidders should consult this guide to understand the potential packaging and marking requirements that may be specified in a contract or solicitation, particularly for items requiring military preservation and packing.
