About this file
This document provides special packaging instructions for an Air Force solicitation seeking thermal battery products. Key details include requirements for heat-treated, debarked wood used in all wooden packaging materials to prevent the spread of invasive species. Wooden pallets, boxes and other containers must be certified by an accredited agency under the American Lumber Standards Committee in accordance with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures regarding wood packaging material in international trade. The solicitation number and agency are provided for an opportunity from the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center to supply ALCM thermal batteries. Precise handling, storage and shipping instructions are outlined to cushion and secure items to prevent damage in transit while meeting plant health regulations.
