D.2 PRESERVATION, PACKING, AND MARKING

The Contractor must provide transportation services to include vehicles with liftgates and inside delivery, as needed by equipment configuration (size/weight). Items received by the Government that are noncompliant with preservation and packaging (especially ESD protection) are subject to be returned at no cost to the Government and the Contractor must expeditiously send compliant replacements to the Government. In the event of an urgent need, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may exercise the following action: The noncompliant packaged items will be retained and repackaged to specification at the FAA location. The FAA will deduct packaging charges from the Delivery Order. Noncompliant ESD packages WILL be returned.

Unless otherwise directed by the Program Office, the Contractor must prepare Quantity per Unit Pack (QUP) in accordance with ASTM D3951-15. If the packages of this standard will not provide the protection required for the type of material being shipped, the Contractor must use other materials, containers, or processes provided they meet or exceed the applicable container requirements as specified in ASTM D3951-10.

The Contractor must package Exchange and Repair (E&R) items in reusable type containers to facilitate round-trip shipments between the Government and the repair source.
