About this file
This document is a Minimal Acceptable Standards specification for grocery store shelving gondolas, initiated by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA). The document details comprehensive technical requirements for grocery store shelving systems, including multiple configuration types such as island displays, wall displays, end platform displays, and specialized configurations for health and beauty aids and bakery products. Key specifications include precise dimensional requirements, load capacities (ranging from 150 to 2,000 pounds depending on shelf type), shelf depths of 22-26 inches, height ranges of 48-90 inches, and specific design features like adjustable shelving, perforated surfaces, and mandatory accessories like kickplates and base load supports.
The specification covers 14 different sub-configurations (2G14-A through 2G14-S), each with unique characteristics for different store layout needs. Standard requirements include a one-year warranty, beige color specification, and 120V electrical requirements, with special provisions for Pacific Theater stores. Contractor requirements mandate ready-to-assemble shelving, factory-trained installation teams, de-installation of old equipment, and a standard installation period of 2-4 hours. The document emphasizes a knockdown shelving system that can be easily assembled without special tools, designed for rapid installation with a snap-together approach that minimizes complex assembly.
