The delivery is scheduled for 197 days after order placement, and both inspection and acceptance will occur at the origin. Packaging and labeling requirements must comply with stringent military and defense logistics standards, including MIL-STD-129 for marking, ASTM D3951 for commercial packaging unless overridden by DLA Master List technical standards, and specific hazardous material packaging protocols if applicable.
