(f) This SPI has been validated and the method of preservation/packing has proven successful in meeting the needs of the military distribution system, including indeterminate storage and shipment throughout the world. Special instructions and/or tailoring of the SPI is detailed in the Supplemental Instructions below. A prototype package is required to validate the sizes and fit requirements of the

SPI. Minor dimensional and size changes are acceptable provided contractor provides the PCO and ACO with notification 60 days prior to delivery. Any design changes or changes in the method of preservation that provide a cost savings without degrading the method of preservation or packing or affecting the serviceability of the item will be considered and responded to within 10 days of submission to

PCO and ACO. Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, alternate blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing.
