A. The following wording concerning Pallet HT Certification requirements which includes language to accommodate “hardwood and mixed (hardwood/coniferous wood) pallet” concerns, is hereby incorporated into subject solicitation:

“All wooden pallets and wood containers produced entirely or in part of non-manufactured softwood species shall be constructed from Heat Treated (HT to 56 degrees Centigrade for 30 minutes) coniferous material and certified accordingly by an accredited agency recognized by the American Lumber Standard Committee, Incorporated (ALSC) in accordance with the latest revision of ALSC Non-manufactured Wood Packing Policy, and Non-manufactured Wood Packing Enforcement Regulations (see URL: http://www.alsc.org/.) All wooden pallets and containers produced entirely of non-manufactured hardwood species shall be identified by a permanent marking of “NC-US,” 1.25 inches or greater in height, accompanied by the Cage code of the pallet/container manufacturer and the month and year of the contract. On pallets, the marking shall be applied to the stringer or block on diagonally opposite sides of the pallet and be contrasting and clearly visible. On containers, the marking shall be applied on a side other than the top or bottom, contrasting and clearly visible.”

NOTE: Pallet suppliers who are in need of a commercial and government Entity (CAGE) code, in order to meet the above cited marking requirement, must submit the following information to the appropriate DSCP-H Contract Administrator through the prime Contractor:

(5) Complete Company (Pallet Manufacturer’s) Name

(6) Pallet manufacturer’s Full Address

(7) Pallet manufacturer’s Point of Contact (POC)

(8) Pallet manufacturer’s phone number

DSCP-H will advise the Prime Contractor of the Pallet Manufacturer’s assigned code.

II. If the contractor incurs increased or decreased costs as a result of this modification the changed costs must be submitted to the ACO within 30 days. If nothing is submitted within 30 days, this modification will be considered finalized at no increased or decreased cost to the Government or the contractor. This does not waive any right of the ACO to review this mod and proceed with a formal finalization of this modification.

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 19^th day of SEP 2003, by and between the United States Government through its agency, the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), an operational component of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), by its authorized agent, the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) (hereinafter referred to as the “Government”) and The Wornick Company (hereinafter called the contractor.)

WITNESSETH THAT,

1. The Government and the Contractor hereby agree to the following terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, for the use of the personal-property listed in paragraph 2 hereof.

2. ASSETS.

This agreement authorizes the Contractor to take possession of and retain on the premises described below (the approved premises) the Multivac R530 Horizontal Form Fill and Seal Machines, serial number 640 (the equipment or the property) for the period specified in paragraph 9 below. The approved premises shall be the Contractor’s plant located at: The Wornick Company, Processed Products Division, 10825 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

3. INSTALLATION:

If installation is needed, the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs to install the equipment and prepare for its operation.

4. Upon commencement of the term of this agreement, the Contractor shall retain possession of the equipment “as is” without warranty, express or implied, on the part of the Government as to condition or fitness for any purpose. Accountability of the property shall be established by execution of this agreement. Spares support of the machinery shall be in accordance with Paragraph 7 of this agreement.

5. USAGE.

a. Government Use. Approval for the use of the equipment on Government contracts will be freely granted, but the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) must authorize such use in any supply contract on which the equipment will be used (See FAR 45.402). Unless the use of the equipment is authorized by a clause in the supply contract, the contractor desiring to use the equipment must request written authorization by the contracting officer cognizant of the equipment (the equipment contracting officer). If authorization is granted, it will be implemented by a modification to the supply contract.

b. Commercial Use Up To 25%.

Commercial use is also encouraged and Is hereby authorized, but for a total period of use not to exceed thirteen weeks (25%) of the contractor’s normal work schedule in any fiscal year (See DFARS 245.407). That is, for a contractor running five eight-hour shifts per week, the use here authorized should not exceed sixty-five eight-hour shifts in a fiscal year (Any portion of a shift shall be counted as a whole shift for the purpose of calculating this limitation. A fiscal year is 365 days from the inception of the agreement, including day one (or 366 days if the fiscal year includes a February 29^th). The contractor shall keep an accurate record of all use. Any questions about the computation of the 25% limitation should be directed to the equipment Contracting Officer either before the commencement of this agreement or as soon as possible thereafter.

c. Commercial Use Exceeding 25%.

DSCP has been delegated the approval for commercial use. DSCP must approve commercial use exceeding 25% of the time available for use, as determined in accordance with DFARS 245.407. A contractor desiring to exceed that limit should therefore request from the PCO permission to do so, and such requests should comply with the requirements of DFARS 245.407, should specify the duration of use exceeding 25% requested and should be submitted at least six weeks before the projected use.

6. RESTRICTIONS.

a. The property shall be restricted to the limitations of the applicable Multivac R530 Technical Manuals and applicable FDA and USDA regulations.

b. Qualified operators and technicians shall be the only persons permitted to operate or make repairs on this property.

c. The Contractor is not authorized to effect any nonstandard modifications to the property without the written consent of the Contracting Officer.

7. SPARES AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT.

The contract by which the Government purchased this property includes spare parts to maintain this property. In the event a manufacturer furnished spare part is either damaged or consumed during this agreement; the Contractor shall repair or replace that item at no cost to the Government. Attachment 1 lists the parts furnished by the Government or the equipment manufacturer and delivered to the contractor. The Contractor shall provide a list of all spare parts being returned to the Government upon the return of such property.

8. RIGHT OF PREEMPTIVE USE.

The equipment’s primary purpose is to augment the surge capacity available to the Government. Since the government expects to authorize use of the equipment for commercial contracts, the Government reserves the right to preempt such use whenever, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, exigent circumstances require that the equipment be reserved solely for Government contracts. In such instances, the Contracting Officer will provide two weeks written notice to the Contractor that the Government is exercising it’s right of preemptive use. At the end of that two-week period; use of the equipment for commercial contracts shall cease and it may be used only as directed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor should consider this right of preemptive use and must provide for it in any commercial contract for which it intends to use the equipment. A shared production agreement or some similar arrangement is recommended.

9. PERIOD OF AGREEMENT.

This agreement shall be for a term of one year from its effective date, which shall be the date the Contractor’s offer (this document signed by the Contractor) is executed by the PCO, which shall be not more than 30 days after the offer is submitted to the Government. The agreement shall be terminable at any time during the year by either party giving to the other two weeks (fourteen calendar days) written notice of termination. The notice period will begin when it is received; day one will be the day after receipt; and the agreement will expire at the end of the fourteenth calendar day after receipt. In the absence of such notice, the agreement shall renew for an additional period of one year, and so on from year to year, until either party shall give the other two weeks written notice of termination. This agreement constitutes general authorization for the contractor to have possession of the equipment on the approved premises. Authorization for use must be specifically requested and granted as provided in paragraph 5, Usage, above, except to the extent authorization is specifically granted in that paragraph.

10. RENTAL CHARGES.

a. The Contractor shall pay the Government a rental fee (rent) based on the use of the equipment in any non-government work. The usage fee shall be $195.00 for any 8-hour shift or part thereof, or $243.75 for any 10-hour shift or part thereof. The rental fee shall be calculated as follows:

Monthly Rent:		Number of 8 hour shifts X $195.00 = Rental Fee.
		Number of 10 hour shifts X $243.75 = Rental Fee.

b. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining usage records and providing such records, which are certified by the resident USDA Inspector or designated DCMC official, to the PCO (Attn: Paul Ferrante) with a statement describing the rental fee due, and a certified check in accordance with Paragraph 10 f. This

documentation and payment shall be provided to the Government on or before the 10^th day after each calendar month. For any month in which the contractor has no non-government use, the contractor shall forward a notarized statement of non-usage no later than the 10^th day after each such month.

c. This rental assessment does not limit the Government’s right to reassess a higher rental fee if subsequent information demonstrates that a higher rental fee was due in accordance with calculation in Paragraph 10.a.

d. The rental accrued at the expiration, termination or revocation of this agreement, shall be paid to the Government on or before the 10^th day thereafter.

e. Failure of the Contractor to provide the information required by paragraph b, above, to the PCO (Attn: Paul Ferrante) by the 10^th of each succeeding month shall result in a rental charge for the month not reported on, of $3,750.00, which equals 1% of the purchase price.

f. Payment of rent for the equipment and spare parts will be made by check in the following manner:

(i). For the Multivac R530 use cost under paragraph 5 above submit to:

	THRU	Defense Supply Center Philadelphia
		700 Robbins Avenue, Building 6B,
		Attn: Mr. Paul Ferrante

The Contractor shall maintain the property in accordance with the appropriate Multivac Technical Manuals. The Contractor shall not cause any loss of coverage under the manufacturer’s warranty. Should coverage under the warranty be lost, the Contractor shall be responsible for replacing any part that would be otherwise covered under the warranty. If replacement of a Multivac R530 component is required to maintain the Multivac R530 in usable condition, the warranty provisions from the manufacturer will be used to effect replacement. In the event that the warranty has expired or does not cover the damaged part and the damage is not caused by the negligence of the Contractor or his agents or employees, the Contractor is authorized to purchase the required part and deduct the amount of that part from the above monthly rate once the part has been delivered. If there are no commercial charges for that month, the Contractor shall carry over the amount until there is a month that has commercial charges. The replacement cost may be used as a credit only to offset rental costs. In no case will the spare part replacement be reimbursable, The Government will not provide replacement components. The determination as to the cause of the part’s damage or failure is the responsibility of the Contracting Officer or designee.

13. CONDITIONS FOR RETURN OF MULTIVAC R530 TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

WITNESSETH THAT,

1. The Government and the Contractor hereby agree to the following terms and conditions hereinafter, set forth, for the use of the personal property listed in paragraph 2 hereof.

2. ASSETS.

This agreement authorizes the Contractor to take possession of and retain on the premises described below (the approved premises) the Multivac R530 Horizontal Form Fill and Seal Machines, serial number 636 (the equipment or the property) for the period specified in paragraph 9 below. The approved premises shall be the Contractor’s plant located at: The Wornick Company, Processed Products Division, 10825 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

3. INSTALLATION:

If Installation is needed, the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs to install the equipment and prepare for its operation.

5. USAGE.

a. Government Use. Approval for the use of the equipment on Government contracts will be freely granted, but the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) must authorize such use in any supply contract on which the equipment will be used (See FAR 45.402). Unless the use of the equipment is authorized by a clause in the supply contract, the contractor desiring to use the equipment must request written authorization by the contracting officer cognizant of the equipment (the equipment contracting officer). If authorization is granted, it will be implemented by a modification to the supply contract.


SP0300-03-DZ107 P00011
The Wornick Company

b. Commercial Use Up To 25%.

Commercial use is also encouraged and is hereby authorized, but for a total period of use not to exceed thirteen weeks (25%) of the contractor’s normal work schedule in any fiscal year (See DFARS 245.407). That is, for a contractor running five eight-hour shifts per week, the use here authorized should not exceed sixty-five eight-hour shifts in a fiscal year (Any portion of a shift shall be counted as a whole shift for the purpose of calculating this limitation. A fiscal year is 365 days from the inception of the agreement, including day one (or 366 days if the fiscal year includes a February 29^th). The contractor shall keep an accurate record of all use. Any questions about the computation of the 25% limitation should be directed to the equipment Contracting Officer either before the commencement of this agreement or as soon as possible thereafter.

c. Commercial Use Exceeding 25%.

6. RESTRICTIONS.

a. The property shall be restricted to the limitations of the applicable Multivac R530 Technical Manuals and applicable FDA and USDA regulations.

b. Qualified operators and technicians shall be the only persons permitted to operate or make repairs on this property.

c. The Contractor is not authorized to effect any nonstandard modifications to the property without the written consent of the Contracting Officer.

7. SPARES AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT.


SP0300-03-DZ107 P00011
The Wornick Company
Right Away Division

8. RIGHT OF PREEMPTIVE USE.

The equipment’s primary purpose is to augment the surge capacity available to the Government. Since the government expects to authorize use of the equipment for commercial contracts, the Government reserves the right to preempt such use whenever, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, exigent circumstances require that the equipment be reserved solely for Government contracts. In such instances, the Contracting Officer will provide two weeks written notice to the Contractor that the Government is exercising it’s right of preemptive use. At the end of that two-week period, use of the equipment for commercial contracts shall cease and it may be used only as directed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor should consider this right of preemptive use and must provide for it in any commercial contract for which it intends to use the equipment. A shared production agreement or some similar arrangement is recommended.

9. PERIOD OF AGREEMENT.

10. RENTAL CHARGES

Monthly Rent: Number of 8 hour shifts X $195.00 = Rental Fee.

Number of 10 hour shifts X $243.75 = Rental Fee.


SP0300-03-DZ107 P00011

c. documentation and payment shall be provided to the Government on or before the 10^th day after each calendar month. For any month in which the contractor has no non-government use, the contractor shall forward a notarized statement of non-usage no later than the 10^th day after each such month.

d. This rental assessment does not limit the Government’s right to reassess a higher rental fee if subsequent information demonstrates that a higher rental fee was due in accordance with calculation in Paragraph 10.a.

e. The rental accrued at the expiration, termination or revocation of this agreement, shall be paid to the Government on or before the 10^th day thereafter.

f. Failure of the Contractor to provide the information required by paragraph b, above, to the PCO (Attn: Paul Ferrante) by the 10^th of each succeeding month shall result in a rental charge for the month not reported on, of $3,750.00, which equals 1% of the purchase price.

g. Payment of rent for the equipment and spare parts will be made by check in the following manner:

(i). For the Multivac R530 use cost under paragraph 5 above submit to:

THRU		Defense Supply Center Philadelphia
		700 Robbins Avenue, Building 6B,

12. MAINTENANCE OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.

The Contractor shall maintain the property in accordance with the appropriate Multivac Technical Manuals. The Contractor shall not cause any loss of coverage under the manufacturer’s warranty. Should coverage under the warranty be lost, the Contractor shall be responsible for replacing any part that would be otherwise covered under the warranty. If replacement of a Multivac R530 component is required to maintain the Multivac R530 in usable condition, the warranty provisions from the manufacturer will be used to effect replacement. In the event that the warranty has expired or does not cover the damaged part and the damage is not caused by the negligence of the Contractor or his agents or employees, the Contractor is authorized to purchase the required part and deduct the amount of that part from the above monthly rate once the part has been delivered. If there are no commercial charges for that month, the Contractor shall carry over the amount until there is a month that has commercial charges. The replacement cost may be used as a credit only to offset rental costs. In no case will the spare part replacement be reimbursable. The Government will not provide replacement components. The determination as to the cause of the part’s damage or failure is the responsibility of the Contracting Officer or designee.

13. CONDITIONS FOR RETURN OF MULTIVAC R530 TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

14. The Contractor will provide operators, additional parts and maintenance at no cost to the Government.

failing to meet a seal strength of 3 pounds per inch of width shall be scored as a major defect. Any average seal strength of less than 3.5 pounds per inch of width shall be cause for rejection of the lot. Alternatively, the internal pressure resistance shall be determined by pressurizing the pouches while they are restrained between two rigid plates. The sample size shall be the number of pouches indicated by inspection level S-l. If a three seal tester (one that pressurizes the pouch through an open end) is used, the closure seal shall be cut off for testing the side and bottom seals of the pouch. For testing the closure seal, the bottom seal shall be cut off. The pouches shall be emptied prior to testing. If a four-seal tester (designed to pressurize filled pouches by use of a hypodermic needle through the pouch wall) is used, all four seals can be tested simultaneously. The distance between rigid restraining plates on the four-seal tester shall be equal to the thickness of the product +1/16 inch. Pressure shall be applied at the approximate uniform rate of 1 pound per square inch gage (psig) per second until 14 psig pressure is reached. The 14 psig pressure shall be held constant for 30 seconds and then released. The pouches shall then be examined for separation or yield of the heat seals. Any rupture of the pouch or evidence of seal separation greater than 1/16 inch in the pouch manufacturer’s seal shall be considered a test failure. Any seal separation that reduces the effective closure seal width to less than 1/16 inch (see table IV, footnote (2) shall be considered a test failure. Any test failure shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

b. Unfilled meal bag. The seals of the unfilled meal bags shall be tested for seal strength in accordance with ASTM F 88. The lot size shall be expressed in bags. The sample unit shall be one bag. The sample size shall be the number of bags indicated by inspection level S-1. Three specimens shall be cut from the sealed end of each bag in the sample. Samples shall not be taken from the inverted “V” peel initiation. Any specimen with a seal strength less than 4 pounds per inch of width or greater than 10 pounds per inch of width shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

c. Subassembly packet/accessory packet pouch closure. The closure seals of the pouches for the subassembly packet/accessory packet shall be tested for seal strength in accordance with ASTM F 88. The lot size shall be expressed in pouches. The sample unit shall be one pouch. The inspection level shall be S-1 and the AQL, expressed in defects per hundred units, shall be 10.0. For the closure seal on preformed pouches, three adjacent specimens shall be cut from the closure seal of each pouch in the sample. For the form-fill-seal pouches, three specimens shall be cut from each side and each end of each pouch in the sample. The average seal strength of any side, end or closure shall be calculated by averaging the three specimens cut from that side, end or closure. Any test specimen failing to meet a seal strength of 3 pounds per inch of width shall be scored as a major defect. Any average seal strength of less than 3.5 pounds per inch of width shall be cause for rejection of the lot. Alternatively, the internal pressure resistance shall be determined by pressurizing the pouches while they are restrained between two rigid plates. The sample size shall be the number of pouches indicated by inspection level S-1, If a three seal tester (one that pressurizes the pouch through an open end) is used, the closure seal shall be cut off for testing the side and bottom seals of the pouch. For testing the closure seal, the bottom seal shall be cut off. The pouches shall be emptied prior to testing. If a four-seal tester (designed to pressurize filled pouches by use of a hypodermic needle through the pouch wall) is used, all four seals can be tested simultaneously. The distance between rigid restraining plates on the four-seal tester shall be equal to the thickness of the product +1/16 inch. Pressure shall be applied at the approximate uniform rate of 1 pound per square inch gage (psig) per second until 14 psig pressure is reached. The 14 psig pressure shall be held constant for 30 seconds and then released. The pouches shall then be examined for separation or yield of the heat seals. Any rupture of the pouch or evidence of seal separation greater than 1/16 inch in the pouch manufacturer’s seal shall be considered a test failure. Any seal separation that reduces the effective closure seal width to less than 1/16 inch (see table IV, footnote (2)) shall be considered a test failure. Any test failure shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

General Requirements

Pallets. Unless otherwise specified herein, or by contract, pallets shall conform to Part 3 and Part 9 of ASME MH1b-2000. Pallets shall be Class 1, Type 2, Style 6, Size 2. For pallet loads under 1500 pounds, ref. Part 9, Table 4, ASME Part No. MH1/9-02SW4048. For pallet loads 1501 to 3000 pounds, ref. Part 9, Table 4, ASME Part No. MH1/9-O5SW4048.

Note: When unitizing individual field meals (MRE, MCW, LRP) and humanitarian ration (HDR), the top deck surface area “footprint” of the specified double wing pallet may be increased to reduce load overhang. Maximum top deck dimensions of (L)43”x(W)51.5” may be used. This option only applies to top deck board and stringer (length) dimensions.

Pads. When specified in specification sheets, top and bottom pads shall be fabricated from fiberboard conforming to class weather-resistant of ASTM D4727. Alternatively, in lieu of a bottom fiberboard pad, a moisture barrier material fabricated from 4 mil or thicker commercial polyethylene film may be used. The pad or barrier material shall be approximately the same size as the load base, except the top fiberboard pad shall not extend beyond sides and ends of the load.

Consolidation box. Boxes shall be triple wall fiberboard. The contents shall fit snugly in the box; the maximum void space shall be not more than five percent of the capacity. The maximum dimensions of the boxes, maximum net weight of contents and size shall be as specified in Table I.

TABLE I. Maximum dimensions and net weight of contents of consolidation box

Maximum outside dimensions in inches
Length	Width	Height including base	Maximum net weight of contents (pounds)	Box Material

49	41	43	2600	Fiberboard

Strapping. Strapping shall be nonmetallic as specified herein.

Nonmetallic strapping. Nonmetallic strapping shall conform to type II or III or IV of ASTM D3950, having a minimum breaking strength of 900 pounds. Buckles shall not be used. When specified in the contract, the strapping on the end item load shall be tested for seal (joint) strength, and shall meet the requirement specified in ASTM D3950, when tested as specified under “Strapping Seal (joint) testing” below.

Formation of load. Shipping containers in each palletized unit load shall be uniformly arranged in a pallet pattern that results in the utilization of at least 80% of the pallets surface area. Pallet pattern guidelines can be found in MIL-HDBK-774. If the contractor cannot achieve required surface area efficiencies, a proposed unit load configuration plan shall be submitted to the contracting officer for approval. Unless otherwise specified, the overall dimensions of the palletized loads shall not exceed 43 inches in length, 52 inches in width, and 43 inches in height (including pallet and cap when required),. (See Table I for consolidation box dimensions). A plus tolerance of 1 inch will be allowed for the height only. The shipping container shall be stacked to form a compact squared load centered on the load base and shall be squared with all corners of the pallet with minimum overhang. The overhang or underhang shall be equalized with the sides and/or ends of the pallets. The shipping containers of each pallet load shall be interlocked by reversing the pattern in each course, except when the containers are of such dimensions as to prohibit interlocking patterns.

Marking. All unit loads shall be marked on two sides in accordance with DSCP Form 3556 or as specified in the contract. Alternatively, when the required markings on one or more individual shipping containers are exposed on two sides of the unit load, a minimum 3 by 5-inch white label shall be applied on the same two sides of the load. The label shall be marked (letter size not less than 1/2 inch) with the quantity (number of units per load), and when required, gross weight, and cube. The values marked for gross weight and cube shall have a tolerance of + 3 percent when tested as specified herein under Gross Weight and Cube Testing.

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS

Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth in this specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.

Responsibility for compliance. All items shall meet the requirements of this document. The inspection set forth in this specification shall become a part of the contractor’s overall inspection system or quality program. The absence of any inspection requirements in the specification shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of ensuring that all products or supplies submitted to the Government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. Sampling inspection, as part of manufacturing operations, is an acceptable practice to ascertain conformance to requirements, however, this does not authorize submission of known defective material, either indicated or actual, nor does it commit the Government to accept defective material.

Quality conformance inspection. Unless otherwise specified, sampling for inspection shall be performed in accordance with ANSI/ASQC Z-1.4.

Component and material inspection. Components and materials shall be inspected in accordance with all the requirements of reference documents unless otherwise excluded, amended, modified, or qualified in this specification or applicable purchase document.

Unit load visual examination. The unit loads shall be examined for the defects listed in Table II. The lot size shall be expressed in units of unitized or containerized unit loads. The sample unit shall be one unitized or containerized unit load. The inspection level shall be S-4 and the AQL, expressed in terms of defects per hundred units, shall be 4.0. In the event that the lot size is less than three, 100 percent inspection shall be performed.

Unit Load Testing.

Strapping Seal (joint) Testing. When specified, the seal (joint) strength of nonmetallic strapping seals shall be tested in accordance with the breaking strength procedure of ASTM D3950. The sample shall be three seal (joint) specimens taken from the strapping on one unit load selected at random from the lot. Each strapping specimen shall be 48 inches in length with the seal (joint) located at the specimen midpoint. When the average breaking strength of the specimens is less than the requirement, it shall be cause for rejection of the lot.

Gross Weight and Cube testing. The unit load gross weight and cube may be established on an average basis, for marking purposes. The weight and cube average shall be based on a minimum of 5 unit loads. Loads should be stacked (not more than three high) to permit normal compression and settling prior to measurement of cube determination. The lot shall be unacceptable if the average unit load weight and cube marked on the load is less than or exceeds 3.0 percent tolerance.

NOTE: Contracting Officer must specify the following in the solicitation/contract:

1. Title, Number and Date of this Form.

2. Type and Class.

(6) The label should be designed so that two bar codes and/or symbols are not in the same linear plane unless the label is wide enough to reduce the possibility of interference with successful bar code and/or symbol scanning.

(7) The quality of the printed bar code shall meet a grade requirement of 2.5(B) at the point of production when measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 15416 with a measurement aperture of 0.25 mm and an inspection wavelength of 660 +/- 10nm.

2. 2D(PDF417) symbol. For technical details, see Table IV of MIL-STD-129.

Human readable interpretation (HR1). The HRI of the TCN, piece number, and consignee DoDAAC should appear above, below, or in line with the linear code. When in line, a 0.25-inch quiet zone shall be provided.

H. PLACEMENT OF IDENTIFICATION AND ADDRESS MARKINGS

a. The exact location of the identification markings may vary slightly. They shall be applied to the upper left two-thirds of the end or side of the container having the greatest overall, usable marking surface. Specific requirements for the placement of the identification markings on various containers/units are illustrated in figures 1,3,4. Cleats, strapping or closure tape shall not obscure the required marking.

b. Required address markings shall be placed on the identification-marked side of exterior shipping containers. If a container is too small to accommodate the address on the identification-marked side, the address markings/label shall be applied on an adjacent/opposite side or on a marking board/panel. When the surface of the shipping container does not lend itself to direct application of the MSL, or the MSL obscures other required markings on a shipping container or unit, the label shall be displayed by means of a marking board or marking panel. Separate marking boards or panels shall be used for identification and address markings.

c. Paper shipping sacks, bags, and textile/laminated textile bags.

When a label is used, it shall be applied below the identification markings.

d. Unit load (see figure 3). When a palletized unit load is formed, the individual containers comprising the unit load shall already be marked with the appropriate identification information. The palletized unit load shall have the exterior container identification and address markings applied as specified herein and as shown in Figure 3. When a fiberboard container such as a triple-wall fiberboard box is used for unitizing a load in lieu of palletization, all required markings, including the address label, may be placed directly on the flat fiberboard surface. The gross weight for palletized/containerized unit loads shall include the weight of the pallet or container base. Because palletized loads are often stacked two or three high when shipped or stored, the markings shall be large enough to be read from a distance.

The size of the lettering shall be proportionate to the overall size of the unitized load but shall be not less than three-fourths of an inch in height.

Address markings shall be placed on a marking board/panel by using a label.

When a palletized load is covered with stretch-wrap film, pressure-sensitive labels containing the address markings may be placed on the outermost layer of wrap on either side of the load in addition to other marking requirements. Variations are authorized based on local operations and capabilities (e.g., a marking board/panel positioned on the pallet before the last layer of wrap is applied).

e. Commercial- or Government-owned (or -leased) shipping containers (SEAVANs) and military-owned demountable containers (MILVANs)

Exterior container identification markings shall not be placed on the outside of a SEAVAN/MILVAN. A completed MSL shall be attached to the seal on the SEAVAN/MILVAN or shall be attached at the rear of each SEAVAN/MILVAN. Shipping containers, consolidation containers, and palletized unit loads, do not require individual address/bar code markings if they have not been assigned an individual TCN and if they arc consolidated by the shipper of origin into a full SEAVAN/MILVAN load for delivery as a single shipment unit to the ultimate consignee. As per DTR direction, all individual shipment units documented with a TCN, including those inside a consolidation container, must be marked with an MSL to facilitate DTS movement, in-transit visibility, and in-check/receipt processing. Activities that receive shipments for consolidation are not required to obliterate address labels applied by the shipper of origin or to relable the consolidated shipment units.

f. Full carload and full truckload shipments. Full carload and full truckload shipments moving as a single shipment unit from a single consignor to a single consignee require at least one completed MSL attached to the container or palletized load located closest to the door. Additional MSLs may be placed on other containers or palletized unit loads in the shipment.

g. Less than carload and less than truckload (LTD) shipments. A MSL is required on all loose shipping containers, or if palletized, unit loads, for less than carload and LTL lots. Exterior container markings are not required on the train car or truck.

Direct vendor delivery (DVD).

Contractor- or vendor-originated DVD shipments require identification marking and address marking with bar codes. DVD shipment documentation must also be marked with additional bar codes.

All CLINS on existing delivery orders generated prior to 30 April 2004 will be renumbered (i.e. CLIN 0001AA, will be 3001, CLIN 0001AB, will be 3002) beginning with a “3”. You will only see these renumbered “3XXX” CLINS on modifications.

Since there will be no sub-clins used in SAP any; new orders/new clins on existing orders will be numbered sequentially (i.e. CLIN 0001AA, is now 0001, CLIN 0001AB, is now 0002). Therefore, any new delivery orders or new CLINS on exiting delivery orders generated after May 3^rd 2004 will have the new CLIN structure. Below is an example of the new structure:
