- Description
- This is to advise that effective February 17, 2004, solicitations issued by the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will include the requirements of MIL-STD-129, Revision P, dated December 5, 2002. Revision P is the latest version of MIL-STD-129 and establishes significant new requirements for DoD contractors that ship packaged material to the Government to provide both linear and two-dimensional (2-D) bar coding on Military Shipping Labels (MSLs). Linear Code 3 of 9 or Code 39 bar codes will continue to be required on interior packages (unit and intermediate packages) for the National Stock Number (NSN) and, when applicable, the serial number; and on shipping containers for the NSN, Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, contract number and, when applicable, the serial number. The new requirements will not apply to delivery orders when the basic contract has not been modified to require MIL-STD-129P. The MSL requires 3 of 9 or Code 39 linear bar codes for the Transportation Control Number (TCN), piece number, and DoD Activity Address Code (DODAAC) for the ultimate consignee or mark-for address. The 2-D bar code on the MSL must contain the document (requisition) number, NSN, Routing Indicator Code (RIC), Unit of Issue, Quantity, Condition Code, and Unit Price, which are ordinarily included on the DD Form 250 or the DD Form 1348-1A. MIL-STD-129P provides numerous illustrations of what must be bar-coded and the recommended placement of the bar code. When a contract omits any data element required to be bar-coded, the field shall be zero-filled. The DLA Packaging Web Site (http://www.dscc.dla.mil/offices/packaging/specstdslist.html#STDs) provides links to MIL-STD-129P, sources for conforming labels, and related information. Questions about these new requirements may be directed to Ralph McDermott, DSCP-OPP, (215) 737-2677, e-mail: Ralph.McDermott@dla.mil.
