PACKAGING AND MARKING

D.1 PACKAGING, HANDLING, STORAGE, AND TRANSPORTATION

All items must be marked in accordance with (IAW) MIL- STD-129R “Marking for Shipment and Storage”. Bar coding is required, 2D (PDF417) is preferred; however, Code 39 is acceptable. Each DCE Part/Assembly/Kit must be appropriately packaged in a static-free bag contained in a foam cushioned, cardboard, shipping container such as Fast Pack XC7 (NSN: 8115-01-019-4085). The Contractor must label the packaging with the information specified in D.2 (f).

D.2 PROVISION 61 - PRESERVATION/PACKAGING, PACKING, AND MARKING

(a) All items, unless otherwise specified, must be individually packaged in accordance with

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D 3951(packaging). Standard practices for commercial packaging are encouraged unless it is shown that commercial packaging practices cannot provide adequate protection and preservation. MIL-STD-2073- 1 is applied only when commercial packaging cannot meet known distribution and environmental requirements. Details and decision logic for the use of this standard are described in 1.1, 1.2, figure 1, and 6.10. The link for this information can be found at:

(c) ESD intermediate and exterior containers must be marked with yellow and black ESD labels IAW MIL-STD-129, “Marking for Shipment and Storage.”

(d) Common hardware items must be packaged in multiple unit pack quantities compatible with the unit of issue or quantity per unit pack. Bulk quantities are not acceptable.

(e) Assemblies, modules, and equipment must be marked with a serial number to serve as a unique identifier.

(1) NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER

(2) MANUFACTURER’S NAME

(3) NOMENCLATURE (NOUN): DCE Modernization Kits

(g) The Government will return items received that are noncompliant with preservation and packaging (especially ESD protection) to the Contractor at no cost to the Government. In the event of an urgent need, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may retain noncompliant items and repackage them to specification at the FAA location. The FAA may deduct packaging charges from the Purchase Order.

(h) The following paragraph concerns only FAA items shipped to a contractor for repair. The FAA will endeavor to ship all items in reusable containers. All items must be returned to the FAA in the same or equal containers (see a. above). In instances where material is shipped in specialized containers (e.g., plastic/fiberglass shipping cases, metal crates, etc.), that material must be returned in the original container.

Questions regarding packaging, packing and marking requirements must be addressed to the Contracting Officer.
