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 official DoD adoption or a replacement for contractual requirements, specifications, or regulations. The guide compiles information from various government packaging documents and technical manuals for instructional use.

This guide is relevant to bidders as it outlines 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 requirements for packaging hazardous materials for different modes of transport (Land, Water, Air).
• Commercial vs. Military Packaging: Explains ASTM D-3951 for commercial packaging and MIL-STD-2073 for military packaging, including criteria for deciding which to use.
• Military Preservation Methods: Details five basic methods of military preservation (Methods 10-50) and specific packing methods (Levels A and B, minimal packing).
• Packaging Codes: Introduces the Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC) system used in MIL-STD-2073-1E(1) to specify detailed packaging requirements.
• Markings: Covers identification markings, bar codes, address markings, and special markings (e.g., hazardous materials, fragile, shelf-life, ESD sensitive).

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the purchase of Non-Metallic Strip Seal, NSN 5330-12-384-4173, Part # XP58420400009. This item is a component of the 154' Fast Response Cutters Main Diesel Engine System.

This justification indicates that the U.S. Coast Guard intends to procure this item from specific contractors (Central Power, Stewart & Stevenson, FDDA, LLC, and Pacific Power Group) because the item is essential to the Government's requirements and is peculiar to one manufacturer. The rationale states that the item is the standard configuration installed on the cutters, and any attempt to manufacture it without proper specifications, drawings, and technical data could lead to equipment failure, fire, and potential loss of life and property. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is Rolls Royce, and their manufacturing data is proprietary and not for sale. Vendors other than the OEM must provide documentation certifying that their parts meet OEM specifications and standards.
