C. Unitization: Shipments of identical items going to the same destination shall be palletized if they have a total cubic displacement of 50 cubic feet or more unless skids or other forklift handling features are included on the containers. Pallet loads must be stable, and to the greatest extent possible, provide a level top for ease of stacking. A palletized load shall be of a size to allow for placement of two loads high and wide in a conveyance. The weight capacity of the pallet must be adequate for the load. The pallet shall be a 40 x 48 inch, 4-way entry pallet although variations may be permitted as dictated by the characteristics of the items being unitized. The load shall be contained in a manner that will permit safe handling during shipment and storage.

D. Marking: In addition to any special marking called out above;

D.1. All unit packages, intermediate packs, exterior shipping containers, and, as applicable, unitized loads shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-129, including bar coding and a MSL label.

The contractor is responsible for application of special markings as discussed in the Military

Standard regardless of whether specified in the contract or not. Special markings include, but are not limited to, Shelf-life markings, structural markings, and transportation special handling markings. The marking of pilferable and sensitive materiel will not identify the nature of the materiel. Passive RFID tagging is required in all contracts that contain DFARS clause 252.211-

7006. Contractors must check the solicitation and/or contract for this clause. For details and most recent information, see http://www.acq.osd.mil/log/sci/ait.html for the current DoD Suppliers’

Passive RFID Information Guide and Supplier Implementation Plan. If the item has Unique Item

Identifier (UII) markings then the concatenated UII needs to be 2D bar coded and applied on the unit package, intermediate and exterior containers, and the palletized unit load.

E. Heat Treatment and Marking of Wood Packaging Materials: All non-manufactured wood used in packaging shall be heat treated to a core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 30 minutes. The box/pallet manufacturer and the manufacturer of wood used as inner packaging shall be affiliated with an inspection agency accredited by the board of review of the American Lumber

Standard Committee. The box/pallet manufacturer and the manufacturer of wood used as inner packaging shall ensure tractability to the original source of heat treatment. Each box/pallet shall be marked to show the conformance to the International Plant Protection Convention Standard.

Boxes/pallets and any wood used as inner packaging made of non-manufactured wood shall be heat-treated. The quality mark shall be placed on both ends of the outer packaging, between the end cleats or end battens; on two sides of the pallet. Foreign manufacturers shall have the heat treatment of non-manufactured wood products verified in accordance with their National Plant

Protection Organization’s compliance program. In addition, wood used as dunnage for blocking and bracing, to include ISO containers, shall be ordered with ALSC certified marking for dunnage or the markings may be applied locally at two foot intervals.

F. These packaging requirements are intended to provide protection against environmentally induced corrosion and deterioration, physical and mechanical damage, and other forms of degradation during storage, multiple handling, and shipment associated with the military distribution system.

The Government encourages contractors to submit requests for changes that will result in savings or improve the packaging. Please submit request for changes in accordance with the RFD/RFW clause of the contract. Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing at contractor’s expense.
