The item is classified as a commercial item, and no Unique Item Identification is required per customer direction. Packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1E using Unit packaging code U, with outer packaging marked per MIL-STD-129, including a 2D Data Matrix barcode for traceability. Preservation follows method 41 (Clinging/Dry), with no additional preservation, wrap, or cushioning materials specified.
