A. Military preservation, packing, and marking for the item identified above shall be accomplished in accordance with the specific requirements identified below, all the applicable requirements of, MIL-STD-2073-1 and the Special Packaging Instruction (SPI) contained in the TDP.

PRESERVATION: MILITARY

LEVEL OF PACKING: B

QUANTITY PER UNIT PACKAGE: 001

SPI NUMBER: P17-1-5790-1, DATED 22 MAY 2023, REV B

B. 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.

C. Marking: In addition to any special markings called out on the SPI;

C.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

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

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
