Part 12 Clauses (CONTINUED)

A. For the purposes of Inspection/Acceptance and Shipment/Delivery, a manufacturer's “lot” shall be considered no greater than a single shift's production.

Note: When product is being delivered to Tracy Depot in California, lot numbers will not be mixed on the same pallet.

B. OPTIONAL CONTRACTOR TESTING is provided by the alternate inspection requirements of DLAD 52.246-9024, Alternative Inspection Requirements for Selected Items.

2. TRACEABILITY

In order to facilitate an effective traceability for the Unitized Group Ration Program, the contractor shall ensure that each primary container (unit pack) and intermediate container, if required, has a lot number and Date of Pack (DOP).

These package codes shall be permanent and legible.

Use of the Julian Date for the lot number and a time stamp (hour and minute of filling/sealing) is preferred. For example (20296 12:15), 20296 = October 23, 2020 and 12:15 representing the time of filling/sealing. When not required by specification, the contractor's lot identification may be of their own coding, i.e. a closed code, but the contractor shall provide the coding information for the primary containers and the contract data markings upon delivery. Package codes (to include time per case lot number shall be identified on the appropriate accompanying WAWF report upon delivery.)

Additionally, the contractor shall ensure that traceability records include identifying ALL ingredients and ALL sources for those ingredients. This shall be accomplished for each item, brand and component that is shipped to the Defense Depot (Assembler) for the Unitized Group Ration Programs. This information shall be made available within 24 hours.

This requirement applies to all GFM and CFM Operational Ration Food Components and to all Operational Ration types.

(5) When the Military Medical Service or other Federal agency acceptable to the Military Medical Service determines the levels of food safety and food defense of the establishment or its products have or may lead to product contamination or adulteration, the Contracting Officer will suspend the work until such conditions are remedied to the satisfaction of the appropriate inspection agency.

Part 12 Clauses (CONTINUED) prescribed temperature. The delivery conveyances shall be subject to inspection by the government at all reasonable times and places.

4. MARKING OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS AND MARKING OF UNIT LOADS

All Shipping Containers and Unit Loads shall be clearly marked, in accordance with DLA Troop Support Form 3556 entitled “Marking Instructions for Boxes, Sacks, and Unit Loads of Perishable and Semi-perishable Subsistence, dated April 2014, with the following information on two adjacent sides of the load with the largest characters possible as follows:

Unitized Ration Component National Stock Number Item Name Date of Pack and Lot Number Number of Shipping Containers per Pallet Contract Number Contractor's name and Address Inspection Test Date (ITD)

Note: For the Inspection Test Date, the expected shelf life is found in the applicable solicitation/contract. To calculate the ITD, add the shelf life value to the month/year date of pack.

Example, if the Date of Pack is June 2019, and the shelf life is 36 months (3 years), then the ITD is computed as follows: 6/19 + 3 years = 6/22. If labels are used, they shall be permanently affixed with water-resistant adhesive tape.

Shipments without the appropriate Shipping Container and Unit Load Markings will be rejected and returned to origin, or at the Contracting Officers discretion, reworked at a labor rate determined by the destination activity (not DLA Troop Support).

5. UNITIZATION

Unit loads shall have the shipping containers arranged on a 40 inch by 48 inch commercial wood or plywood four-way entry pallet, or on a 48 inch by 40 inch Grocery Manufacturers of America wood four-way entry pallet. The load shall be bonded with non-metallic strapping, shrink or stretch film, or others means that comply with carrier rules and regulations applicable to the mode of transportation (adhesive bonding is not acceptable).

Bonding material shall secure the load to the pallet to form a consolidated, stable cargo which can be handled as a unit. For example, when strapping is used to secure the load, the straps shall pass under the top deck boards of the pallet. When stretch or shrink film is used, it must be applied low enough on the pallet to secure the load to the pallet.

The unit load height shall not exceed 50 inches.

Inspection of unit loads shall be in accordance with classification Type III, Class G of DLA Troop Support Form 3507 of April 2014 entitled “Loads, Unit: Preparation of Semi-perishable Subsistence Items.”
