D.1 PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS (SPECIAL PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS)

D.1.1 Military preservation, packing, and marking for this contract/order 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, see below.

(1) LEVEL OF PRESERVATION: Military

(2) LEVEL OF PACKING: B

(3) QUANTITY PER UNIT PACKAGE: 001

(4) SPECIAL PACKAGING INSTRUCTION NUMBER. 12599175

(a) REVISION C

(b) DATE OF REVISION 14 July 2022

(c) THE REQUIRED SPECIAL PACKAGING INSTRUCTION (SPI) IS AVAILABLE ON THE WEB AT THE FOLLOWING URL: N/A

(Note: You must have the Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your PC to view the SPI. See Adobe's website (http://get.adobe.com/reader/) for information on obtaining the latest version of the reader. If you're experiencing problems opening the Special Packaging

Instructions in Adobe .PDF images using Internet Explorer, try the following: Go to "Tools," then "Internet Options." Click on the

"Advanced" tab. Scroll down to the "Security" section. Uncheck "Do not save encrypted pages to disk." Click "Apply." Click "OK.")

D.1.2 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 preferred pallet is 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.1.3 Marking:

D.1.3.1 In addition to any special markings called out on the SPI, 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.

D.1.4 Heat Treatment and Marking of Wood Packaging Materials (WPM):

D.1.4.1 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.

D.1.4.2 This SPI has been validated, and the method of preservation/packing has proven successful in meeting the needs of the military distribution system, including indeterminate storage and shipment throughout the world. Special instructions and/or tailoring of the

SPI is detailed in the Supplemental Instructions below. A prototype package is required to validate the sizes and fit requirements of the SPI. Minor dimensional and size changes are acceptable provided contractor provides the PCO and ACO with notification 60 days prior to delivery. Any design changes or changes in the method of preservation that provide a cost savings without degrading the method of

preservation or packing or affecting the serviceability of the item will be considered and responded to within 10 days of submission to

PCO and ACO. Government reserves the right to require testing to validate alternate industrial preservation methods, materials, alternate blocking, bracing, cushioning, and packing.

D.1.4.3 Hazardous Materials (as applicable): Hazardous Materials is defined as a substance, or waste which has been determined by the

Secretary of Transportation to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce and which has been so designated.
