MIL-STD-130 Item Unique Identification (IUID) Marking

Each valve must be permanently marked with a two-dimensional Data Matrix barcode that complies with MIL-STD-130 standards for Item Unique Identification, ensuring the mark is durable, legible, and permanently affixed to the component. The marking must contain the correct data structure as defined by the Department of Defense, including the required elements such as the enterprise identifier, item identifier, and serial number, all encoded using the proper symbology and format specifications. The marked data must be accurately registered in the DoD IUID Registry to ensure traceability and compliance throughout the asset lifecycle. This requirement applies to all valves delivered under this subcontract, which is governed by the Defense Logistics Agency under the Department of Defense, with the North American Industry Classification System code 339999 for other miscellaneous manufacturing.
