Special Bulletin to MIL-STD-129P:
NOTICE TO DLA SUPPLIERS: The clause at DLAD 52.211-9010 implements marking requirements in MIL-STD-129P, which apply to shipments of packaged material to DoD. Significant revisions to the DLA implementation of MIL-STD-129P were issued by PROCLTR 05-09 in December 2005. As an interim measure, until such time as corresponding changes to automated procurement systems could be implemented, the instructions in DLAD 52.211-9010 took precedence over any inconsistencies with the language on the schedule page of the solicitation or contract. The clause was entitled "Shipping Documentation - MIL-STD-129P - TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER SCHEDULE - (DEC 2005) - DLAD (FARS DEV 05-03)." (FARS DEV 05-03 was issued to authorize this deviation from the FAR order of precedence.) This notice is to advise that the systems changes were implemented in May 2006 to bring the schedule page language in line with DLAD clause 52.211-9010, which is now entitled "Shipping Documentation - MIL-STD-129P" and is dated May 2006. FARS DEV 05-03 was cancelled. Changes were made to update the DLAD and the DLA Auto Master. Questions about this clause may be directed to, HQ DLA, Acquisition Policy Branch, (703) 767-1358.
