Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document provides guidance on Military Standard 129 (MIL-STD-129R) marking and shipping label requirements. It serves as a reference for vendors to ensure compliance with government shipping standards for various container types (unit, intermediate, and exterior).

• Marking Requirements: Details the specific information required on labels for unit, intermediate, and exterior containers, including NSN/NATO stock number, CAGE code, part number, quantity, contract/purchase order number, preservation method, shelf life, and serial numbers.
• Military Shipping Label (MSL): Explains the format and content of the MSL, which is mandatory for deliveries to domestic military activities and export locations. It includes information such as Transportation Control Number (TCN), Transportation Account Code (TAC), ship-to address, and ultimate consignee.
• Bar Code Requirements: Outlines the specifications for linear (Code 39) and 2D (PDF417) bar codes, including the data elements they must contain.
• Packaging Guidance: Briefly touches upon packaging requirements, referencing GSAM clauses and ASTM standards for commercial packaging, hazardous materials, and wood packaging.

Vendors must understand and adhere to these marking and labeling requirements to ensure their shipments are accepted by the government. Failure to comply can lead to shipping delays and other logistical issues. This document is crucial for preparing accurate shipping labels and packaging that meet military standards.
