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 for instructional use.

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., Sections A through J, CID's, Military/Federal Specifications, FAR/DFARS clauses).
• Hazardous Materials Packaging: Requirements for packaging hazardous materials in accordance with modal regulations (Land, Water, Air).
• Packaging Methods: Descriptions of various military preservation and packing methods (e.g., Level A, Level B, Method 10 through 52), including specific techniques for waterproofing, using desiccants, and container types.
• Markings: Types of basic markings required on packages, including identification, bar codes, address markings, and special markings (e.g., hazardous materials, fragile, shelf-life).
• Standards and Specifications: References to key military standards and specifications such as MIL-STD-2073, MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-147, and ASTM standards.
• Quality Assurance: Provisions for preservation and packing inspections.

Bidders should consult this guide to understand the potential packaging and marking requirements that may be specified in a contract or solicitation, which can impact product preparation, shipping, and overall compliance.
