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 where packaging requirements are typically located within solicitations and contracts (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section J - Attachments). It details various military preservation and packing methods (e.g., MIL-STD-2073-1E, ASTM D-3951), hazardous materials packaging, labeling requirements (including bar codes and RFID), and special markings. Understanding these requirements is crucial for bidders to accurately prepare proposals and ensure compliance with contract deliverables, especially for opportunities involving the shipment of goods.
