MIL-PRF-61002B
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in
the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house
contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain
packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's
packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service's
system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's
or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the
responsible packaging activity.
