SIGNIFICANT NOTE - "PALLETIZATION IS REQUIRED FOR THESE SUPPLIES".

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ALL NON-MANUFACTURED WOOD PACKAGING MATERIALS:

"All Wood Packaging Material (WPM) acquired by DOD must meet requirements of International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) 15, "Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Materials in International Trade." DOD shipments inside and outside of the United States must meet ISPM 15 whenever WPM is used to ship DOD cargo, or when wood is being acquired by DLA for future use as packaging material. WPM is defined as wood pallets, skids, load boards, pallet collars, wooden boxes, reels, dunnage, crates, frame and cleats. Packaging materials exempt from the requirements are materials that have undergone a manufacturing process, such as corrugated fiberboard, plywood, particleboard, veneer, and oriented strand board (OSD). All WPM shall comply with one of the following official quality control programs:

Heat Treatment (HT) or Kiln Dried Heat Treatment (KD HT) in accordance with American Lumber Standard Committee, Incorporated (ALSC) Wood Packaging Material Program and WPM Enforcement Regulations (see http://www.alsc.org/; or All WPM shall include certification/quality markings in accordance with the ALSC or NWPCA standards, as applicable. Markings shall be placed in an unobstructed area that will be readily visible to inspectors. Pallet markings shall be applied to the stringer or block on diagonally opposite sides of the pallet and be contrasting and clearly visible.

All containers shall be marked on a side other than the top or bottom, contrasting and clearly visible. All dunnage used in configuring and/or securing the load shall also comply with ISPM 15 and be marked with an ASLC approved DUNNAGE stamp. Failure to comply with the requirements of this restriction may result in refusal, destruction, or treatment of materials at the point of entry. The Agency reserves the right to recoup from the Contractor any remediation costs incurred by the Government."

PALLET SHALL BE 4 WAY ENTRY, WINGED TYPE. PALLETIZED LOAD DIMENSIONS SHALL NOT EXCEED 43 INCHES IN

LENGTH, 52 INCHES IN WIDTH, AND 54 INCHES IN HEIGHT (INCLUDING THE PALLET).

THE PALLETIZED LOAD SHALL BE BONDED USING APPROVED COMMERCIAL BONDING MATERIALS. THE USE OF METAL BANDING, IN SECURING BOXES TO PALLETS, IS DISCOURAGED. PALLET LOADS SHALL CONTAIN THE SAME NUMBER OF

CARTONS, OF IDENTICAL QUANTITIES, OF ONE NSN, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE.
