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, including sections like "Packaging & Marking" (Section D) and "Attachments" (Section J). It details various packaging methods (e.g., Level A, Level B, MIL-STD-2073-1E methods), hazardous materials packaging, commercial packaging standards (ASTM D-3951), and specific marking requirements (Identification, Bar Code, Address, and Special Markings). Understanding these requirements is crucial for bidders to accurately propose and comply with contract terms related to the packaging and shipment of goods.
