FOREWORD

1. This standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.

2. This standard is to be cited only for military marking for shipment and storage.

3. This standard incorporates MIL-HDBK-129.

4. This revision has resulted in numerous changes to MIL-STD-129 Revision P, Change 4, but the most significant ones are:

a. If a single two-dimension (PDF417) bar code cannot accommodate all the information for the included item information, a set of Macro PDF417 bar codes can be used to encode the identification information and the UII information. See Appendix A.

b. A marking exception is provided for DoD originated shipments overpacked for convenience of handling.

c. Palletized unit loads are specifically called out for identification and bar code marking.

d. The military shipping label (MSL) format includes a transportation tracking number

(TTN) as a conditional data element that is only included if the system can generate and encode it.

e. The 2D (PDF417) bar code is recommended for use in all packaging identification marking and some figures are modified to remove the linear (Code 39) bar codes.

f. Packing list requirements are defined to be one of two types: 1) a content packing list for package contents not marked on the packaging, to include sets, kits, and assemblies; 2) a shipment packing list for a single-piece or multi-piece shipment units to include applicable shipping information.

g. The 2D (PDF417) bar code content for unit pack and container marking was modified to include data qualifiers for the part number (DI ‘1P’) and for the quantity and unit of issue (DI ‘7Q’).

h. The ammunition and explosives section (see 5.14) is completely rewritten to include a new ammunition/explosive packaging label. Most of the existing paragraphs are revised;

however, a large portion of the text is moved to different paragraphs and not changed.

i. The shipment term “customer direct” replaces “direct vendor delivery (DVD)” to align with DoD distribution definitions.

iii

j. Many of the changes were required to align with DoD transitioning to life cycle management of serialized items through programs for item unique identification (IUID) and serialized item management (see Table III for term definitions). To further enable the IUID requirement, the unique identification marking in this standard is changed to include the following:

(1) The end-item/product serialized numbers marked on each unit pack, container, or palletized unit load include all of the unique item identifiers (UII) and assigned serial numbers. Exceptions apply for more than five serial numbers and for assorted-item packs.

(2) ISO/IEC 15434 Format 06 envelopes are used to associate line item specific data (e.g., document number, NSN, quantity, serial number, UII, etc.). The Format 06 envelopes may be used for military shipping label data associations and the Format 06 envelopes are used for serialized item number associations.

(3) For other than assorted item packs, serial number lists and UII number lists are required for the end-item/product NSN if more than five serialized items are included in the package.

5. Change Notice 1 to MIL-STD-129R adds new language to accommodate the new Procurement Instrument Identifier (PIID). Subpart 4.16 – Unique Procurement Instrument Identifiers of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Subpart 204.16 – Uniform Procurement Instrument Identifiers, of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR) defines a change to the way “Contract Numbers” are constructed. The proponent of this change was the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy Program Development and Implementation (OUSD AT&L/DPAP/PDI), now the OUSD (Acquisition and Sustainment (A&S) Office. PIIDs are all unique and consist of a combination of thirteen to seventeen alpha and/or numeric characters sequenced to convey certain information.

6. Change Notice 2 to MIL-STD-129R aligns information provided in the text addressing the Ammunition and Explosives Palletization/Packaging Label (AEPPL) to correspond exactly to the detailed data furnished in Table A-V, Ammunition and Explosives Palletization/Packaging Label.

7. Comments, suggestions, or questions on this document should be addressed to Chief, U.S.

2.4 Order of precedence. Unless otherwise noted herein or in the contract, in the event of a conflict between the text of this document and the references cited herein, the text of this document takes precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specific exemption has been obtained.

3. DEFINITIONS

General packaging definitions may be found in ASTM D996 and other referenced documents.

Hazardous materials definitions are listed in Title 49 CFR, Parts 171 and 173, and in other related publications.

3.1 Abbreviations and acronyms. The following abbreviations and acronyms are used in this standard or are commonly associated with marking. Bar code abbreviations will be in accordance with the standards or documents cited for use.

a. Unit of issue (UI) or unit of measure (UM) abbreviations. Table I contains the recommended abbreviations for the human-readable translations of three different code sets used to describe the “quantity or basis for measurement” characteristic for an item. The three code sets (DLMS UI, DLMS UM, or ANSI ASC X12.3 Unit or Basis for Measurement) do not always use the same code for the same measured characteristic; therefore, the code must first be translated to the human-readable term which may then be printed using a Table I abbreviation.

An abbreviation for package marking identified in a contract or purchase order takes precedence over the Table I list. Some of the abbreviations in Table I are for terms in addition to those listed in DoDM 4100.39, Volume 10, Table 53 (UI) and Table 81 (UM) and in ANSI ASC X12.3 Data Element 355 (Unit or Basis for Measurement). In this standard, also see the Table III UI and UM definitions for DLMS conversion guide information.

3.2 Term definitions. See Table III.

TABLE III. Term definitions.

463L System. Aircraft pallets, nets, tie down and coupling devices, facilities, handling equipment, procedures, and other components designed to interface with military and civilian aircraft cargo restraint systems. Though designed for airlift, system components may have to move intermodally via surface to support geographic combatant commander objectives. A loaded 463L System pallet is not considered to be a palletized unit load for marking of identification information in accordance with this standard.

Ammo package. For ordnance or materiel treated as ordnance, the term describes a unit load/palletized unit load, an exterior container within a unit load/palletized unit load, or it is an individual shipping container.

Ammunition and Explosives Palletization/Packaging Label (AEPPL). The AEPPL is used to identify storage, and accountability information associated with containerized, unitized or palletized ammunition and explosives. The AEPPL is affixed to the specific configuration, container, unitized or palletized load as applicable. The label includes both mandatory and optional data elements. The label includes both Human Readable Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI). The MRI is displayed as PDF417 or Data Matrix Two Dimensional Bar Codes.

Assembled date. See Shelf life.

Assembly. An item of supply, composed of two or more related parts that is capable of disassembly (for example, carburetor, powerpack, and intermediate frequency circuit amplifier).

TABLE III. Term definitions – Continued.

Bar code. An array of rectangular bars and spaces in a predetermined pattern representing coded elements of data that can be automatically read and interpreted by automatic bar code reading devices.

Case. It is either an exterior container within a palletized unit load or it is an individual shipping container.

Classified items. See Protected cargo.

Cognizant activity. The activity having responsibility for a contract or jurisdiction over it. At a contractor’s facility, the cognizant activity is the administrative contracting officer or the procuring contracting officer. Contractor personnel do not qualify as the cognizant activity. At DoD installations, this is the head of the agency, bureau, command, or Service that is responsible for storage and shipment.

Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code. A five-position alpha-numeric code applicable to all activities that have produced or are producing items used by the Federal Government and to Government activities which control design or are responsible for development of certain specifications, drawings, or standards. This is the US version of the NATO CAGE code (NCAGE).

Common-user transportation. Transportation and transportation services provided on a common basis for two or more Department of Defense (DoD) agencies, and authorized non-DoD agencies. Common-user assets are under the combatant command (command authority) of the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM), excluding Service-unique or theater-assigned assets.

Consignee (receiver). Party to whom materiel is shipped and whose name and address appear in the “ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE OR MARK FOR” block of the shipping label.

Consignor (shipper). Party who ships materiel and whose name and address appear in the “FROM” block of the shipping label.

Consolidated shipment unit. A shipment unit with multiple line items, or a shipment unit containing other shipment units, or a shipment unit with a mix of line items and other shipment units.

Consolidation container. A container used to consolidate more than one line item into a single shipping container to be shipped to one destination, but not necessarily to one addressee.

Content Level Detail. Content level detail includes those data elements that describe the asset or item being shipped plus the data elements necessary to minimally identify each level of a complete shipment entity. The most basic entity is a single box or unpacked item governed by a shipment unit identifier. The data elements are specifically described in DTR 4500.9-R, Defense Transportation Regulation.

Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). A four character number (six for Sub-CLIN) used to identify specific items being procured (quantity of product A, quantity of product B, labor hours for services, etc.) within a contract and provide for traceable accounting classification.

Contract number, or purchase order number, or procurement instrument identifier (PIID). The acquisition instrument identification number appearing on the acquisition document. For current DFARS compliant DoD contracts, this is a 13 character PIID. Use the 13 character PIID delivery or call order number (identified by F or M in the 9th position) without reference to the base contract when an order is issued under a base contract (since the call order PIID is treated as an independent contractual document). Ordering instruments are identified by a “A”, “D”, or “G” in the 9th position and should not be cited. For legacy DoD contracts refer to the contract or purchase order number and include the 4-digit delivery order/call order number when applicable.

(Also see PIID.)

Controlled items. See Protected cargo.

Consolidated shipment unit. See Shipment unit.

Cured date. See Shelf life.

Customer direct. Customer direct (formerly direct vendor delivery (DVD)) is a streamlined distribution method that requires vendor delivery directly to a customer or Defense Transportation System (DTS) transshipment point. Many customer direct efforts include a customer-transparent interface with military standard requisitioning and issue procedures

(MILSTRIP).

Data area/field title. See Human-readable information.

Defense Transportation System (DTS). That portion of the nation’s transportation infrastructure that supports DoD transportation common-user transportation needs across the range of military operations. It consists of those common-user military and commercial assets, services, and systems organic to, contracted for, or controlled by the DoD.

Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC). A distinct six-position alphanumeric code assigned to identify specific units, activities, or organizations as found in the Department of Defense Activity Address Directory.

Definitive UI. See Unit of issue (UI).

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Electrical and electronic devices that are susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge (static electricity). These devices include, but are not limited to, integrated circuits and discrete devices (e.g., resistors, transistors, and other semiconductor devices).

Expiration date. See Shelf life.

Exterior container. A container, bundle, or assembly that is sufficient by reason of material, design, and construction to protect unit packs and intermediate containers and their contents during shipment and storage. It can be a unit pack or a container with a combination of unit packs or intermediate containers. An exterior container may or may not be used as a shipping container.

Field titles. See Human-readable information.

Free text. See Human-readable information.

Generic military shipping label (MSL). A term used to identify the MSL used for cargo other than unit move cargo documented in accordance with DTR 4500.9-R Part III, or other than personal property cargo documented in accordance with DTR, Part IV. Generic MSL use procedures are in DTR, Part II.

Government Bill of Lading (GBL). A Government document used to procure transportation and related services from commercial carriers.

Hardness critical item (HCI).
