WHAT'S
REQUIRED
Every government contract requires the contractor to
prepare the part(s) for delivery to the final destination. The requirements may range from
standard commercial packaging to something as complex as an export boxing with a
watervaporproof enclosure
When MIL-STD-2073 requirements are called out in a contract, the
following applies unless otherwise specified
 | All materials used must be certified to meet the applicable
government specifications. This includes tape, cartons, staples, nails, cushioning, wood,
etc
|
| All bags used must pass the requirements of table G.II. in
MIL-STD-2073 (leakage test & heat seal seam test)
|
| All parts packaged must pass inspections for cleanliness
|
| Application of preservative must be done without interruption
|
| All parts packaged per MIL-STD-2073 must be inspected per
appendix G, table G.I. of MIL-STD-2073 (approximately 31 inspections)

followed |
