(c) THE REQUIRED SPECIAL PACKAGING INSTRUCTION (SPI) IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEB AT THE FOLLOWING URL: N/A (Note: You must have the Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your PC to view the SPI. See Adobe’s website (http://get.adobe.com/reader/) for information on obtaining the latest version of the reader. If you're experiencing problems opening the Special Packaging Instructions in Adobe .PDF images using Internet Explorer, try the following: Go to "Tools," then "Internet Options." Click on the "Advanced" tab. Scroll down to the "Security" section. Uncheck "Do not save encrypted pages to disk." Click "Apply." Click "OK.")

(b) Unitization: Shipments of identical items going to the same destination shall be palletized if they have a total cubic displacement of 50 cubic feet or more unless skids or other forklift handling features are included on the containers. Pallet loads must be stable, and to the greatest extent possible, provide a level top for ease of stacking. A palletized load shall be of a size to allow for placement of two loads high and wide in a conveyance. The weight capacity of the pallet must be adequate for the load. The preferred pallet is a 40 x 48 inch, 4-way entry pallet although variations may be permitted as dictated by the characteristics of the items being unitized. The load shall be contained in a manner that will permit safe handling during shipment and storage.

(c) Marking:

(1) In addition to any special markings called out on the SPI, all unit packages, intermediate packs, exterior shipping containers, and, as applicable, unitized loads shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129). The contractor is responsible for application of special markings as discussed in the Military Standard regardless of whether specified in the contract/order or not. Special markings include, but are not limited to, Shelf-life markings, structural markings, and transportation special handling markings. The marking of pilferable and sensitive materiel will not identify the nature of the materiel.

(2) Passive RFID tagging is required in all contracts that contain DFARS clause 252.211-7006. For details and most recent information, see http://www.acq.osd.mil/log/sci/ait.html (best viewed with Internet Explorer 11 or higher) for the current DoD Suppliers’ Passive RFID Information Guide. When an item is assigned a Unique Item Identifier (UII) as indicated by the inclusion of contract clause DFARS 252.211-7003, refer to the DoD Guide to Uniquely Identifying Items (available at http://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/page/unique-id/tools ) for development of the UII and MIL-STD-129 for UII package marking requirements. Contractors must verify the RFID and UII clauses cited above are included in this solicitation/contract.

(d) Heat Treatment and Marking of Wood Packaging Materials (WPM):

(1) In accordance with DOD 4140.65-M and the requirements of the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures 15 (ISPM), “Regulation of Wood Packaging Material in International Trade,” current edition, (hereinafter “ISPM 15”), the following commercial heat treatment and marking process has been approved by the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) and is required for all Wood Packaging Material (WPM). Foreign manufacturers shall comply with ISPM 15, and have the WPM heat treatment and marking verified in accordance with their National Plant Protection Organization’s compliance program.

(2) Boxes/pallets and any wood used as inner packaging made of non-manufactured wood shall be heat-treated. All WPM using a conventional steam or dry kiln heat chamber (treatment code for the mark: HT) shall be heat treated to a minimum core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 30 minutes, and certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL: http://www.alsc.org). WPM heat treated wood using dielectric heating (treatment code for the mark: DH) shall follow the requirements in ISPM 15, and shall be certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL: http://www.alsc.org). The box/pallet manufacturer and the manufacturer of wood used as inner packaging shall ensure the materials used in manufacture can be traced to the original source of heat treatment, and that the original source of the heat treatment obtained the necessary certifications.

(3) Marking: Each box/pallet shall be marked to show the conformance to the International Plant Protection Convention Standard. The ALS approved quality mark shall be placed on both ends of the outer packaging, between the end cleats or end battens. Pallet markings shall be applied to the side of the stringer or end of the block on diagonally opposite sides and ends of the pallet and be contrasting and clearly visible. All dunnage used in configuring and/or securing the load shall also comply with ISPM 15 and be marked with an ALSC approved DUNNAGE stamp. Foreign manufacturers shall comply with ISPM -15 and shall have the marking of WPM verified in accordance with their National Plant Protection Organization’s compliance program.

(e) Hazardous Materials (As applicable):

(1) Hazardous Materials is defined as a substance, or waste which has been determined by the Secretary of Transportation to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce and which has been so designated. (This includes all items listed as hazardous in Titles 29, 40 and 49 CFR and other applicable modal regulations effective at the time of shipment.)

(2) Unless otherwise specified, packaging and marking for hazardous material shall comply with the requirements herein for the mode of transport and the applicable performance packaging contained in the following documents:

- International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations

- International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG)

- Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 29, Title 40 and Title 49

- Joint Service Regulation AFJMAN24-204(I)/TM38-250/NAVSUPPUB 505/MCO P4030.19(I)/DLAM 4145.3(I) (for military air shipments).

(3) If the shipment originates from outside the continental United States, the shipment shall be prepared in accordance with the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods in a manner acceptable to the Competent Authority of the nation of origin and in accordance with regulations of all applicable carriers. A Product Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) is required to be included with every unit pack and intermediate container and shall be included with the packing list inside the sealed pouch attached to the outside of the package.

(f) This SPI has been validated and the method of preservation/packing has proven successful in meeting the needs of the military distribution system, including indeterminate storage and shipment throughout the world. Special instructions and/or tailoring of the SPI is detailed in the Supplemental Instructions below. A prototype package is required to validate the sizes and fit requirements of the SPI. Minor dimensional and size changes are acceptable provided contractor provides the PCO and ACO with notification 60 days prior to delivery. Any design changes or changes in the method of preservation that provide a cost savings without degrading the method of preservation or packing or affecting the serviceability of the item will be considered and responded to within 10 days of submission to PCO and ACO. Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, alternate blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing.
