NOTE: Extended to March 11, 2004; 4pm Local Philadelphia Time This solicitation is being amended to incorporate the latest revision for DOD Barcoding. 1. The latest revision of the DOD Bar Code Marking, Rev P dated December 15, 2002 is required for this procurement. Therefore, the following shall apply: For all shipments of packages material to the government, which includes either depot DLA-direct or DVD (customer-direct) shipments, both DOD linear and 2-D bar code markings are required on military shipping labels in accordance with MIL-STD-129, Revision P, dated December 15, 2002. 2-D bar coding shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 15438, ISO/IEC 15434 (ANSI MHLO.8.3) and DOD 4500.9-R. MSL linear (code 3 of 9 or code 39) bar coding shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 16388. MSL label stock quality shall meet MIL-PRF-61002. MSL bar code print quality shall meet ANSI MHLO.8-2000 or ANSI X3.182-1990 (R2000) for applicable 2-D and/or linear bar codes. All DVD shipments shall meet additional linear bar coding requirements in DLAD 52.211-9008. When the contract/order omits any data element required to be bar-coded, the field shall be zero-filled. These requirements do not apply to delivery orders when the basic contract has not been modified to require MIL-STD-129P. If there are inconsistencies between the schedule and MIL-STD-129P, the schedule takes precedence. 2. The following Clause is hereby added to the Addendum to FAR 52.212-4: DLAD 52.211-9010 Military Shipping Label (MSL) Requirements- MIL-STD-129P (Feb 2004) (a) MIL-STD-129, Revision P, dated December 15, 2002, establishes the requirement for Contractors that ship packaged materiel to the Government to provide both linear and two-dimensional (2-D) bar coding on military shipping labels (MSLs) (but see exceptions in paragraph (d)). The new requirements apply to all shipments, which includes either depot (DLA-Direct) or DVD (Customer-Direct) shipments. Linear (Code 3 of 9 or Code 39) bar codes continue to be required on interior packages (unit and intermediate packages) for the National Stock Number (NSN) and, when applicable, the serial number; and on shipping containers and palletized unit loads for the NSN, Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, contract number and, when applicable, the serial number. The new requirements do not apply to delivery orders when the basic contract has not been modified to require MIL-STD-129P. (b) The new MSL replaces former DD Form 1387 and is illustrated in Figures 2a and 2b of MIL-STD-129P. The MSL requires Code 3 of 9 or Code 39 linear bar codes for the Transportation Control Number (TCN), piece number and DoDAAC for the ultimate consignee or mark-for address. The 2-D bar code on the MSL must contain the document (requisition) number, NSN, Routing Identifier Code (RIC), Unit of Issue, Quantity, Condition Code, and Unit Price, which are ordinarily included on the DD Form 250 or the DD Form 1348-1A. MIL-STD-129P provides numerous illustrations of what must be bar-coded and the recommended placement of the bar code. When the contract omits any data element required to be bar-coded, the field should be zero-filled.
