Packaging must strictly comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E and be palletized per DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement, while marking must adhere to MIL-STD-129 including the special marking code -32 indicating Type I shelf life. All hazardous material containers must be labeled in accordance with the revised OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), which requires submission of Safety Data Sheets and compliant hazard communication labels for review and approval prior to award. Suppliers must also train employees on these new SDS and labeling requirements.

Failure to provide the required SDS and labels before award renders an offeror nonresponsible and ineligible for contract award. The contract also incorporates requirements for safeguarding covered defense information and compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses governing representations, certifications, and acquisition procedures, including potential application of HUBZone price evaluation preferences.
