Contractor's Requirements Regarding Packaging Data Development

I. Packaging Requirements. The Contractor shall develop Packaging Requirements Codes for all new items as follows:

- Personnel Requirements. As a prerequisite to performing the tasks listed, the Contractor's packaging personnel must be qualified military packaging specialists and must be thoroughly indoctrinated by the Government prior to development/submission of packaging data. The Contractor shall contact the TPOC (as defined in the contract) to schedule an indoctrination meeting.

- Packaging Requirements Data. The Contractor shall develop packaging requirements data for all new "P" source coded Depot Level Repairables (DLRs), Field Level Repairables (FLRs) and Maintenance Significant Consumables (MSCs), which are identified in the LSA with an Item Category Code (ICC) of “X”, “Z” or “AB”. Packaging data shall be available to the Government for review during item selection, along with detailed engineering data as required by the SOW. Packaging data shall be developed in accordance with the LMI Performance Specification (MIL-PRF-49506) and the guidelines of MIL-STD-2073-1C and with the criteria provided by the Government at the Contractor's indoctrination meeting. The Contractor shall assign existing reusable, multi-application containers for packaging of DLRs for avionics, electronic and fragile items to the maximum extent possible.

The Government will review (and recommend revisions, if necessary) all submitted data. In addition, the Government will develop and provide the Contractor with packaging data pertaining to those items requiring new specialized container design. The Contractor shall then provide all packaging data products as required in the LMI Performance Specification, Data Products Worksheet.

- Reusable Container Design. The contractor and the Government will jointly determine candidates for new specialized containers. The Government will maintain technical cognizance of all containers requiring development including design specification development as well as first article approval or rejection.

II. Shelf Life. The contractor shall identify, the material composition (i.e., applicable Military Specification, material name, etc.) of all new "P" source coded items containing material having a shelf life of five (5) years or less, regardless of the activity retaining inventory management responsibility for the item (i.e., NAVICP, DLA etc.).

III. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). The contractor shall prepare in accordance with FED-STD-313 and submit to the Government, MSDSs for all items containing hazardous materials, regardless of the activity retaining inventory management responsibility for the item (i.e., NAVICP, DLA etc.).
