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 locations of packaging requirements within solicitations and contracts (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section J - Attachments). It details various packaging and marking standards, including:

• Hazardous Materials: Requirements for packaging and marking hazardous materials according to modal regulations (Land, Water, Commercial Air, Military Air).
• Commercial Packaging: Guidance on ASTM D-3951 for commercial packaging.
• Military Packaging: Detailed information on MIL-STD-2073-1E, including five basic methods of military preservation (Methods 10, 20, 30, 40, 50) and various levels of military packing (Level A, Level B, Minimal).
• Packaging Codes: Explanation of the MIL-STD-20731E(1) Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC) used to translate packaging requirements.
• Quality Assurance: Provisions for preservation and packing inspections.
• Markings: Types of basic markings (Identification, Bar Code, Address, Special) and examples of unit, intermediate, and exterior container labels.
• Specific Standards: References to key specifications such as MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-147, MIL-DTL-117, MIL-DTL-6060, and various ASTM standards.
