If a package deviation proposal is in line for award, TACOM will review the packaging deviation and approve or deny the package deviation design. The package deviation design must be approved by TACOM and any future changes from the approved package deviation design will require redesign and testing by the contractor and additional review and approval from TACOM.

Contractors proposing a packaging deviation need to submit the following (to be included within the contract): (1) packaging instructions including list of packaging materials with sketch for packagers; (2) picture of package design, including interior; and (3) successful test report. TACOM is requesting all requests for deviation package designs be tested in accordance with ASTM D4169, Distribution Cycle 18 to ensure full compliance with MILSTD-2073-1E requirements. Note: The International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) is an acceptable alternative test method for packaging design performance, as ISTA tests to the standards of ASTM D4169.
