InternationalTrade." DOD shipments inside and outside of the United
States must meet ISPM 15 whenever WPM is used to ship DOD cargo, orwhen
wood is being acquired by DLA for future use as packaging material. WPM
is defined as wood pallets, skids, load boards, pallet collars, wooden
boxes, reels, dunnage, crates, frame and cleats. Packaging materials
exempt from the requirements are materialsthat have undergone a
manufacturing process, such as corrugated fiberboard, plywood,
particleboard, veneer, and oriented strandboard (OSD). All WPM shall
comply with one of the following official quality control programs:

Heat Treatment (HT) or Kiln DriedHeat Treatment (KD HT) in accordance
with American Lumber Standard Committee, Incorporated (ALSC) Wood
Packaging Material Programand WPM Enforcement Regulations (see
http://www.alsc.org/; or

All WPM shall include certification/quality markings in accordancewith
the ALSC or NWPCA standards, as applicable. Markings shall be placed in
an unobstructed area that will be readily visible toinspectors. Pallet
markings shall be applied to the stringer or block on diagonally
opposite sides of the pallet and be contrasting and clearly visible.
All containers shall be marked on a side other than the top or bottom,
contrasting and clearly visible. Alldunnage used in configuring and/or
securing the load shall also comply with ISPM 15 and be marked with an
ASLC approved DUNNAGEstamp. Failure to comply with the requirements of
this restriction may result in refusal, destruction, or treatment of
materials at the point of entry. The Agency reserves the right to
recoup from the Contractor any remediation costs incurred bythe
Government."

PALLET SHALL BE 4 WAY ENTRY, WINGED TYPE. PALLETIZED LOAD DIMENSIONS
SHALL NOT EXCEED 43 INCHES IN LENGTH, 52INCHES IN WIDTH, AND 54 INCHES
IN HEIGHT (INCLUDING THE PALLET).

THE PALLETIZED LOAD SHALL BE BONDED USING APPROVED COMMERCIALBONDING
MATERIALS. THE USE OF METAL BANDING, IN SECURING BOXES TO PALLETS, IS
DISCOURAGED. PALLET LOADS SHALL CONTAIN THE SAMENUMBER OF CARTONS, OF
IDENTICAL QUANTITIES, OF ONE NSN, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE.

PALLET LOADS CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE NSNSHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED TO
LIST ALL THE NSN'S CONTAINED IN THE LOAD. NO CARTON SHALL HAVE MORE THAN
ONE NSN. AT THE END OF A SIZERUN, NO MORE THAN ONE CARTON PER NSN MAY
BE SHORT OR OVER THE SPECIFIED QUANTITY. SAID CARTON SHALL BE CLEARLY
