the performance requirements of this specification (see 3.5). In-process controls of pipes, unrelated to lot
sizes of finished pipes, may be utilized in lieu of examination of these components in the finished pipes to

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 material 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.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Structural pipe is for use in structural application, and seamless pipe is utilized in
pressure applications. Where structural applications are required, the procuring activity should specify
structural pipe. The pipe's mechanical properties, composition, dimensions, etcetera, are the same, but
because of lower production cost, it can generally be procured at a lower price. The military unique PIN
is retained to facilitate reprocurement.
6.2 Acquisitioning requirement. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. First article contract requirements.
c. PIN (see 1.2).
d. Certificate of compliance covering materials, when required.
e. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
f. Issue of DODISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual
6.3 First article. The contracting officer should include specific instructions in acquisition documents
regarding arrangements for examinations, approval of first article test results, and disposition of first
article samples. Invitations for bids should provide that the Government reserves the right to waive the
requirement for samples for first article inspection to those bidders offering a product which has been
previously acquired or tested by the Government, and that bidders offering such products, who wish to
rely on such production or test, must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is
presently appropriate for the pending contract.
