Are contract markings required on exterior containers?
Yes, when the exterior container is not a multipack. ‘Contract data markings shall include the contract or purchase order number and delivery order or call number, modification for change order number (when used), and lot number (when used). Additional information may be required by the procurement contract or order. When more than one contract is applicable to a multipack, contract data markings are not required on the exterior container but shall be applied to each container in the multipack. Contract data markings shall be placed below the identification markings on the various exterior containers and unpacked items1.’ This file contains an illustration of the marking requirements for exterior containers2. [REFERENCES: MIL-STD-129P, paragraph 4.1.2(f)1] • Where are the markings supposed to be placed on exterior containers? ‘The identification markings shall be applied to the upper left two-thirds of the side of the container having the greatest overall, usable marking surface.
