Packaging, Marking, and Logistics Support

The contract requires full compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, including the application of 2D data matrix barcodes to ensure traceability and uniformity across all delivered items. All packaging must be designed to protect contents during handling and transit while meeting military standards for durability, labeling, and environmental resistance. Markings must be legible, durable, and accurately reflect item information as defined by the standards, with barcodes readable under field conditions to support logistics operations.

Deliveries are to be made directly to DLA Distribution, where destination inspection will be conducted to verify compliance with all contractual and standard requirements. Any failures in packaging, marking, or documentation may result in rejection or costly rework. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 484220, with a response deadline of July 2, 2026, and the place of performance is specified as New Cumberland, PA, 17070-5002.
