Packaging and Marking Compliance for Defense Shipments

All drums and shipping containers must be clearly and accurately marked with the contract and delivery order numbers using block text as mandated by the Defense Logistics Agency to ensure full compliance with federal shipping standards. This requirement is critical for traceability, inventory management, and seamless logistics processing across the Department of Defense supply chain. The contract falls under the NAICS code 561910 and is classified as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency’s broader procurement framework, with performance governed by DLA’s packaging and labeling directives. Although no specific location or point of contact is detailed, compliance must be met regardless of shipment origin or destination to meet DLA’s operational and audit requirements.
