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.

PALLET LOADS CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE NSN SHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED TO LIST ALL THE NSN'S CONTAINED IN THE LOAD. NO CARTON SHALL HAVE MORE THAN ONE NSN. AT THE END OF A SIZE RUN, NO MORE THAN ONE CARTON PER NSN MAY BE SHORT OR OVER THE SPECIFIED QUANTITY.

SAID CARTON SHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED "SHORT" OR "OVER".

"3.3.2. Contractor Furnished Material (CFM). DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles contracts require source sampling of CFM at finishing plants. The following provisions apply to sample selection and lot acceptance.

(a) The samples shall be randomly selected by the Supplier's Source Sampling Representative.

(b) Upon presentation of a lot, the Supplier's Source Sampling Representative will draw samples and forward the samples to the contractor's laboratory specified in the contract for testing.

(c) Shipment of Component Lots from the source to the prime contractor need not be deferred except for Government Acceptance Testing (i.e., shade evaluation).

Commencement of production prior to receipt of a passing test report from the contractor's authorized laboratory is solely at the contractor's risk.

(d) The contractor will provide copies of Certificates of Compliance to the QAS.

(e) The contractor is required to ensure that a complete test report for all lots is furnished to the source's QAS and the appropriate DLA-PTC representative."

Pages 24, 25, 36 add to block 16: "By signing in box 15, I certify that the samples referenced above were randomly selected and represent the lot identified above."

**Special note: Contractors shall ensure that blocks 2 and 15 of the form DD1222 are updated to reflect the correct information. Historically, both blocks contained the information of the DCMA QAR and their stamp/signature. When contractor's representative samples, these blocks shall include the contractor's representative's information. Block 17 shall still include the DCMA QAR to receive the results of the report even though they may not be sampling the material to be tested.

[End of interim changes.] This modification will eliminate the requirement for DCMA to go to mills solely to pull swatches for routine Source Sampling (for Shade, Physical Testing, or nIR testing).

This places the responsibility for routine sampling of swatches on the fabric suppliers. This change will allow DCMA to continue to administer C&T Contracts with Delivery Order values above the $300,000 threshold, even if the contracts contain Shade or other Source Sampling requirements.

The Prime Contractors will still have the ultimate responsibility for conformance to Shade and other requirements in the end items they produce and furnish under DLA contracts.
