Action-Pak’s Core Competence is Packaging & Packing in accordance with DOD Military Standards. Bidding can be confusing when it comes to packing. Doing business with the DOD requires the seller to comply with special packaging requirements. Below is a typical example of what you’ll find when bidding. The government uses Mil- Std- 20173, which is the standard code or format. Our job is deciphering these codes and providing you with a unit price to package each part or product you sell.
