PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
9.1
Unless otherwise specified herein or in the item’s Hardware Specification, all items intended
for shipment to GD-LCS for subsequent removal from packaging and installation aboard the
LCS shall be preserved and packaged in accordance with the applicable method(s) outlined
below:
9.1.1
Method I – Preservation Coating With Greaseproof Wrap
Used for metal items of a non-critical nature that can be adequately protected by a
corrosion preventative compound where removal of the compound for operation of the
item is unnecessary, or where removal of the compound can be accomplished without
further disassembly or damage to the item.
9.1.2
Method II – Preservation Coating Applied With Waterproof Enclosure
For general use, with or without a contact preservative, to afford protection against
deterioration caused by water and water vapor (in excess of the amount of water or
water-vapor entrapped when the container is sealed) and by natural and industrial
contaminants and pollutants.
9.1.3
Method III – Wrapped or Unwrapped, Enclosed Within Coating of Strippable Compound
Used for metal items, simple or complex in construction, requiring protection against
water and water vapor. On items of complex construction, it may be necessary to wrap
the item(s) in aluminum foil prior to dipping in plastic coating. This method shall not be
used on items that are adversely affected by temperatures required for the application of
the compound.
9.1.4
Method IV – Preservative Coating Applied as Required With Waterproof Enclosure
Used for items requiring only protection from liquid water, oils, fungus growth, insects,
and decayed organisms.
9.1.5
Method V – Preservative Coating Applied As Required With Waterproof Enclosure & Desiccant
Used for critical items which cannot be fully protected by a contact preservative and
which require a high degree of protection from damage by the effects of water vapor.
9.1.6
Method VI – Packaged for Mechanical and Physical Protection Only
Used for items requiring physical and mechanical protection only.
9.1.7
Method VII – Thermoformed Packaging, Transparent, Vacuum-Formed
Used for small items requiring transparent, vacuum-formed, thermoplastic packaging.
9.2
For each item supplied by the Vendor, the proposed method of preservation and packaging
shall be identified in its proposal. Where an item is supplied to a Military Specification or
Standard that identifies a method of preservation and packaging, that method shall be
used. The Vendor is solely responsible for the satisfactory preservation and packaging of
its equipment. The following guidelines apply:
9.2.1
Non-coated metal items shall at least be preserved and packaged to Method I.
9.2.2
Mechanical equipment shall at least be preserved and packaged to Method II, III, or IV
as applicable.
9.2.3
Electrical/electronic equipment shall at least be preserved and packaged to Method V.
9.3
9.3.1
For all items intended for shipment to GD-LCS and subsequent removal from packaging for
installation aboard ship, the following applies:
All shipments must be clearly and indelibly marked both on packing and the equipment
with:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Name of Item
Vendor’s Name and Part/Model Number
GD-LCS Item/Part Number (to be obtained from the Buyer)
GD-LCS Purchase Order Number
Hull or Module Number (to be obtained from the Buyer)
9.3.2
Items not readily marked must be tagged with metal tags that indicate the information
above. One copy of the packing list and the original copy of the bill of lading shall be
mailed to the Buyer at the time the shipment is delivered to the carrier. An itemized
packing list must also accompany each shipment. If items are being shipped loose, the
additional requirements of SDRL LCS-SR-0027 apply. Shipments not containing adequate
identification and the required packing lists will be considered incomplete and may be
returned to the Vendor, at its expense, for completion.
9.3.3
All markings must be durable and colorfast.
9.4
For all items intended for shipboard or shore based stowage, the following applies:
9.4.1
Level A preservation and packaging shall be in accordance with the applicable product or
packaging procedural specifications. In the absence of such instructions, selection of the
method of preservation and packaging shall be in accordance with the applicable criteria
and guidelines specified in MIL-STD-2073, MIL-STD-794, and MIL-E-17555. Parts shall
be individually packaged, except when used in sets or quantities greater than one. Solid
state components such as diodes, thin film resistors, transistors, integrated circuits, and
equipment containing such parts, which can be damaged as a result of static electricity
or electromagnetic fields, shall be preserved, packaged, packed, marked, and handled in
accordance with NAVSEA publication NAVSEA-S-6000-AA-HBK-010/ES (Handbook of
Electrostatic Discharge Protection of Electronic Components, Assemblies, and
Equipment).
9.4.2
Transparent packaging of repair parts for reduction in size and product identification shall
be in accordance with the procedures and materials specified in MIL-STD-2073. Parts
packaged in transparent barrier materials shall be cushioned or wrapped, as applicable,
with transparent materials.
9.4.3
Except for specially designed metal or plastic type reusable shipping and storage
containers, Level C domestic type shipping containers shall be used for packing parts in
rack, bin, shelf, or drawer type stowage. For other type stowage, shipping containers
shall be either of the overseas type (Level A) or the domestic shipment and storage type
(Level B). Shipping container selection shall be in accordance with the applicable product
or packaging procedural specifications. In the absence of such specifications, MIL-STD794 shall be followed for selection of shipping (exterior) container. Container selection
shall be of the minimum weight and size consistent with anticipated storage and handling
hazards.
9.4.4
Fiberboard containers for shipboard stowage or stock storage, where used for packing
difficult loads, shall have such loads converted to either "average" or "easy" loads, as
defined in FED-STD-75, by use of liners, pads, separators, cells, trays, die cuts, or similar
media. The container closure, waterproofing, and reinforcing of fiberboard boxes shall
be in accordance with the applicable container specification and/or carrier or postal
service rules and regulations. Reinforcing of fiberboard boxes shall be accomplished by
use of pressure-sensitive reinforced tape.
9.4.5
Items shall be cushioned to prevent their damage and damage to the packaging media.
Cushioning materials, unless otherwise specified in the applicable product or general
packaging specification, shall conform to MIL-STD-2073 and the applicable carrier
regulations. Use of loose-fill polystyrene, excelsior, newspaper or shredded paper of all
