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 materiel 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. The CWU-43/P drawers and the CWU-44/P undershirts covered by this
specification are intended to be worn as the undergarments for cold weather and an anti-exposure
protective assembly intended for continuous wear and protection of the wearer from exposure to
cold water, wind, and spray as a result of emergency water immersion at sea.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number and date of this specification.
b. Sizes required (see 1.2.).
c. When first article inspection is required, (see 3.1) the
item will be tested and should be a first article sample.
The contracting officer should include specific
instructions in acquisition documents regarding
arrangement for examinations, quantity, and testing and
approval.
d. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6. 3 Patterns. The patterns, for the drawers or undershirts, as applicable, will be furnished by the
contracting officer, to the contractor, for use in cutting working patterns (see 3.4.1). The
undershirt and drawers patterns were developed to accommodate the physical properties and
behavior of the MIL-C-85038 knit cloth and the garment construction methods described in this
document. The finished drawers and undershirt garments made from these patterns will meet the
finished dimensions cited under Table II of this document. Note: due to the inherent stretch of
the cloth, it is recommended that cutting lays be limited to a maximum of 48 plies for the
purpose of ensuring proper component dimensions.
6.3.1 Standard and guide samples. For access to standard guide samples, address the acquiring
office issuing invitation for bids.
