PALLETIZATION: The shipping (transport) containers shall be palletized. The pallets shall be 48-inch length x 40-inch width, general purpose, four-way entry, flush stringer, and double-face non-reversible pallets. The palletized load shall not exceed 2500 pounds in weight for shipments to the Eastern Distribution Center (Burlington).

STACKING: A load-stacking test shall be performed once, at the beginning of the contract, for each different unitized or palletized load configuration. A fully palletized load shall be tested utilizing a total stack of three palletized loads, with all the proper bracing and/or reinforcement necessary to perform the test. There shall be no evidence of damage to the pallets, shipping containers or products when stack is tested on the rigid surface for a minimum of 24 hours, in compliance with all the National and Local Safety Regulations.

Shipments should be considered for unitization where appropriate or specified.

UNITIZATION OF PALLET LOAD: The palletized load shall be unitized and secured to the pallet to insure that the load arrives intact without product damage. The containers or items shall be placed in a suitable pattern to form a stable and balanced load. Vertical, horizontal or filler reinforcement shall be added as necessary to meet the stacking strength requirements. A palletized load shall be secured to the pallet by shrink or stretch wrapping, and/or, by steel or nonmetallic strapping. When steel or nonmetallic strapping is used, edge protectors shall be provided to prevent damage to the cartons when tensioning the strapping. As a minimum, two straps shall run lengthwise, two straps shall run widthwise, and two straps shall run around the girth of the palletized load. A palletized load shall be capable of protecting the products against damage in a multiple handling, transportation, and storage environment having distribution warehouses with rack systems that support the load/s overhead of warehouse personnel.

SCHEDULING OF DELIVERIES TO GSA FACILITIES (FEB 2005)

(a) General: This clause sets forth the scheduling requirements regarding deliveries to the General Services Administration (GSA) facilities listed below. When the advance scheduling of delivery time is required or desired, the Contractor is advised that there may be an interval of up to 5 workdays between the time the consignee is contacted for a delivery date and the date the consignee is able to receive the shipment. Consequently, to allow for the establishment of a delivery date and the time that is agreeable to both the consignee and the carrier, the carrier should be urged to communicate with the consignee as soon as practicable after it is known when the shipment will be available for pickup. For all Distribution Center shipments and in the interest of effective and efficient deliveries, information such as National Stock Numbers (NSN), Delivery/Purchase Order numbers, quantity of cartons/pallets, and Uniform Product Codes are required when pre-scheduling deliveries. Deliveries are not accepted on weekends or Federal holidays (except when scheduled in advance during national emergencies). All times specified in this clause are local times.

(b) Eastern Distribution Center:

(1) Large-Load Shipments: For the purpose of this clause, a shipment consisting of ten or more palletized unit loads, or, if the supplies are not palletized, a shipment weighing 10,000 pounds or more, or measuring 1,000 cubic feet or more, when transported by a single conveyance, is regarded as a "large-load" shipment. The Contractor is required to notify the carrier on the bill of lading that a scheduled unloading date and time, during normal business hours, must be obtained by the consignee prior to the delivery of a "large-load" shipment.

(2) Small-Load Shipments: For the purpose of this clause, a shipment consisting of less than ten palletized unit loads, or if the supplies are not palletized, a shipment weighing less than 10,000 pounds and measuring less than 1,000 cubic feet, when transported by a single conveyance, is regarded as a "small-load" shipment. The delivery of a "small-load" shipment need not be scheduled in advance of arrival at the facility. However, the consignee may refuse to accept delivery if the truck arrives later in the afternoon than the time specified below for the receipt of unscheduled small loads. The carrier should and is encouraged to communicate with the GSA facility (consignee) regarding all impending deliveries.

(c) Western Distribution Center: Carrier appointments are required to facilitate GSA clearance of the arriving carriers through site Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) security. The Contractor is required to notify the carrier on the bill of lading that a scheduled unloading date and time must be obtained from the consignee prior to delivery.
