Identification markings on unit packs, intermediate containers, and unpacked items.

The following minimum identification information shall be marked on all unit packs,

intermediate containers, and unpacked items in the order listed. This requirement

applies to all unit packs and intermediate containers repacked for shipment by military

installations. Any additional identification markings required by the contract shall be

placed either below these markings or in a conspicuous location on the identification -

marked side of the container.   


a.  NSN/NATO stock number (to include spaces or dashes and any prefix or suffix

      shown in contract or requisition), in-the-clear and bar coded. If no NSN is assigned,

      then this line may be omitted. For ammunition, when a DoD Identification Code

      (DoDIC) is specified, it shall be placed on the same lime as the NSN/NATO stock

      number.

b.  Part number (PN). The part number cited in the contract shall be shown (except for

      ammunition items with NSN/DoDIC designations). If the item has no PN assigned

      to it or if no PN is required, then nothing is shown.

c.  Quantity and UI.  A nondefinitive UI shall be accompanied by a quantitative

      expression such as "1 RO (100 FT)."

d.  Contract number or purchase order number including four-digit delivery order or

      call number.

e.  Military method and date of unit preservation (e.g., "M41-4/97" - method 41, from

      MIL-STD-2073, was provided in April 1997).  Use of the letter M in the first

      position indicates that the pack is a military preservation method; "41" is the method

      number; "4/97" indicates the date of preservation.

f.  Serial Number, when required.

g.  The following additional marking instructions shall be used for packaged

      ammunition with DoDICs (if aligned) and lot numbers, in accordance with

      MIL-STD-1168.


         (1)  The ends of each box shall be marked with the DoDIC and lot number. The

      word "LOT" will not be marked on the box ends.


         (2)  The lot number shall be marked on the lower position of the identification -

      marked side with the word "LOT", and the lot number will be underlined with a

      1/8 inch solid line.


NOTE:   When lot numbering in accordance with MIL-STD-1168 is specified, the

               contract number and date preservation are not required to be marked.
