D.1.1.2 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.2 Marking:

D.2.1 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). The contractor is responsible for application of special markings as discussed in the Military Standard regardless of whether specified in the contract/order 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.

D.2.1 When an item is assigned a Unique Item Identifier (UII) as indicated by the inclusion of contract clause DFARS 252.211-7003, refer to the DoD Guide to Uniquely Identifying Items (available at: https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/uid/guides.html) for development of the

UII and MIL-STD-129 for UII package marking requirements. Contractors must verify the RFID and UII clauses cited above are included in this solicitation/contract.

D.3 Heat Treatment and Marking of Wood Packaging Materials (WPM):

D.3.1 In accordance with DOD 4140.65-M and the requirements of the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures 15 (ISPM), "Regulation of Wood Packaging Material in International Trade," current edition, (hereinafter "ISPM 15"), the following commercial heat treatment and marking process has been approved by the American Lumber Standards Committee (ALSC) and is required for all Wood Packaging

Material (WPM). Foreign manufacturers shall comply with ISPM 15, and have the WPM heat treatment and marking verified in accordance with their National Plant Protection Organization's compliance program.

D.3.1.2 Boxes/pallets and any wood used as inner packaging made of non-manufactured wood shall be heat-treated. All WPM using a conventional steam or dry kiln heat chamber (treatment code for the mark: HT) shall be heat treated to a minimum core temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 30 minutes, and certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging

Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL: http://www.alsc.org). WPM heat treated wood using dielectric heating (treatment code for the mark: DH) shall follow the requirements in ISPM 15, and shall be certified by an agency accredited by the ALSC in accordance with Wood Packaging Material Policy and Wood Packaging Material Enforcement Regulations (see URL:

http://www.alsc.org). The box/pallet manufacturer and the manufacturer of wood used as inner packaging shall ensure the materials used in manufacture can be traced to the original source of heat treatment, and that the original source of the heat treatment obtained the necessary certifications.

D.3.1.3 Marking: Each box/pallet shall be marked to show the conformance to the International Plant Protection Convention Standard. The

ALS approved quality mark shall be placed on both ends of the outer packaging, between the end cleats or end battens. Pallet markings shall be applied to the side of the stringer or end of the block on diagonally opposite sides and ends of the pallet and be 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 ALSC

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.5 SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS:
