3.9 Limited Refurbishment: Localized mechanical repair of damage. Minor welding repairs are allowable on the container rim and rings. Refinish by localized preparation and touch-up of some container surfaces. This may result in a nonuniform finish thickness or a nonuniform cosmetic appearance, which is acceptable. Paint may be applied up to and including the entire container surface. No field markings or labels are allowed on the container or cover. Obliterate markings not applicable to new production. Finish: IAW MIL-STD-171, finish no 5.2 (wash primer spec DOD-P-15328), for bare metal surfaces only, and finish no. 20.2 (MIL-DTL-11195) color green no. 34079 (FED-STD-595).

4.4 Explosive Residue: The government shall certify that containers are explosive free before being turned over to the contractor, and the contractor shall certify that containers are explosive free prior to any being disposed. The first step in the refurbishment process shall include the removal of all container covers and the internal inspection of containers for foreign debris. If a live rocket or any explosive item is discovered during this screening and inspection process, the contractor shall segregate it from the other reusable containers with no handling of the potentially explosive item. The container shall be closed and transported to temporary secure storage. The procuring contracting officer shall be notified within 48 hours. The Government will be responsible for disposition.

II. Pallets

1.0 FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE / STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

1.1 Each pallet shall provide a sufficiently level and stable base for safely palletizing pallet adapters and rocket containers, and for safely stacking fastpacks. Upon stacking of a bottom pallet adapter on top of a pallet, the four pin-sockets in the deck of the pallet shall provide engagement with the pins of the bottom pallet adapter. Upon stacking of a pallet on top of a top pallet adapter, the four pin-sockets in the skids of the pallet shall provide engagement with the pins of the top adapter. The pallet shall not exhibit material deformation that causes a lack of engagement with the pallet adapter pins. Pin engagement shall be 1/8 inch minimum pin protrusion through the skid when the Pallet is in the unitized configuration, consisting of two

Adapters, twelve empty Containers w/dunnage (no rockets) and one Pallet.

1.4 The pallet may exhibit minor surface damage that does not affect form, fit, function or safe handling, including damage to those pallet surfaces where a forklift normally makes contact with the pallet while handling fastpacks. Allowable surface damage consists of scrapes and scratches with minor removal of parent material, and dents with minor localized parent material deformation that do not affect the palletization of pallet adapters and containers.

1.5 Pallet deformation shall not compromise safe handling of the pallet. The pallet shall exhibit no hanging burrs or sharp edges.

2.1 The pallet may exhibit rust on the bottom surface of the skids and on the pallet surfaces where a forklift normally makes contact with the pallet while handling fastpacks. Rust is also allowable on all other pallet surfaces provided the total cumulative area of rust on these other surfaces does not exceed four inches square (16 square inches). The diameter of any single rust spot or blister on any pallet surface other than the bottom of a skid shall not exceed a maximum diameter of one-half inch. Pallets that do not meet these criteria shall be refurbished to the degree necessary to meet the criteria.

3.0 PAINT/FINISH

3.1 All pallet surfaces shall be clean, with no deposits of dirt, sand, gravel or mud. Pallets may exhibit dried water-spots or a light film of residue that is residual from a cleaning operation.

The four pins of a palletized bottom adapter shall engage the sockets (pin holes) in the deck of the pallet. The palletized bottom adapter shall properly engage the stacking rims and rings on the rocket containers so that the containers are properly aligned to form the bottom layer of a fastpack. The bottom pallet adapter shall not exhibit deformation that causes lack of engagement with the sockets (pin holes) in the deck of the pallet or with the stacking rims of palletized containers.

1.2 The top pallet adapter shall provide a means to retain the top layer of palletized rocket containers prior to final banding. The three sockets of a top pallet adapter shall engage the lugs

(one per container) of three rocket containers that are properly aligned to form the top container layer of a fastpack. The top pallet adapter shall not exhibit deformation that causes lack of engagement with the stacking lugs of palletized containers.

1.3 The top pallet adapter shall provide interface between the rocket containers and the pallet for stacking of fastpacks. The four pins of a top pallet adapter shall engage the sockets in the pallet skids of a stacked fastpack.

1.5 Top and bottom pallet adapters shall not exhibit structural damage that compromises safe:

Handling of packed out fastpacks with a forklift truck or lifting sling or

Stacking of packed out fastpacks (up to three high) for long-term rocket storage

All welds shall show no evidence of cracking, all parent material shall show no evidence of shear or yielding, and welding repairs are allowable.

1.6 Pallet adapters may exhibit minor surface damage that does not affect form, fit, function or safe handling, including damage to those adapter surfaces where fastpacks normally make contact when stacked and stored side-by-side. Allowable surface damage consists of scrapes and scratches with minor removal of parent material, and dents with minor, localized parent material deformation that does not affect the stacking of the containers, pallets or pallet adapters when being palletized into a unit load.

1.7 Pallet adapters shall not exhibit deformation that causes a lack of engagement with the pin-sockets of the pallets or with the stacking lug-sockets and stacking lugs of the rocket containers.

1.8 Pallet adapter deformation shall not compromise safe handling of the pallet adapter. Top and bottom pallet adapters shall exhibit no hanging burrs or sharp edges.

2.1 Pallet adapters shall not exhibit rust on any surface that contacts a palletized rocket container. Rust is allowable provided:

It exists only on pallet adapter surfaces that do not contact a palletized container.

The total cumulative area of rust does not exceed four inches square (16 square inches).

The diameter of any single rust spot or blister does not exceed a maximum diameter of one-half inch. Acceptance of rust beyond this requirement is permitted on the top adapter lugs and contact/mating surfaces of both adapters when assembled or stacked.

Pallet adapters that do not meet these criteria shall be refurbished to the degree necessary to meet the criteria.
