All DOD activities engaged in the development or procurement of specialized containers will send a search request using the format prescribed in MIL-STD-2073–1 to CDRS/MO before initiating a new design or production program. A search request should be submitted for items that can be packed to meet stated protection requirements in wood, plywood, fiberboard, or fast pack containers. c.
Any new design, development, or procurement of specialized packaging and containers for Army-developed ammunition will be coordinated with the Army’s Defense Logistics Activity (SALA, AMSTA-AR-AL, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806–5000. This coordination should take placed after CDRS search described in paragraph b, above. d. All DOD activities that acquire a new container design will forward a dimensional drawing and/or design data of the container to CDRS/MO using the format prescribed in MIL-STD-2073–1. This data will be entered into the CDRS database files. e.
Designs of excess and surplus containers that meet technical packaging requirements specified by the develop- ment activity will be used whenever it is cost-effective. f. Cost savings achieved from the reuse of existing containers or container designs will be documented by the development of procurement activity. A copy of the documentation will be sent to CDRS/MO not later than 30 days after validation. g .

CDRS.MO will evaluate and determine their potential use in other programs. h.
CDRS will ensure that an in-house container design and development capability exists. 5–4. CDRS administration a. The Air Force is responsible for providing the resources and instructions necessary to ensure effective operation of CDRS. (1) The Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC/YJA) executes all functions of CDRS/MO and operates the CDRS to provide a DOD-wide container documentation retrieval and container development capability. (2) The CDRS/MO maintains a computerized data record of existing reusable containers, corresponding design drawings, and information.
These are used for technical analysis and container reuse applications, thus reducing acquisition costs and increasing the options available to the procurement activity. Additionally, it acts as a central focal point for DOD container. b. Development and packaging activities will ensure that— (1) CDRS use is part of the acquisition management process, and its use is reflected in appropriate program management documents. (2) MIL–STD–2073–1 requirements are included in appropriate contracts. (3) CDRS search requests will be submitted early enough to permit adequate search and evaluation by the CDRS/ MO. The DID pertaining to CDRS/MO search request is DI–PACK–80683.
(4) Savings that are attained as a result of CDRS are documented and the CDRS/MO is informed (see para 5–3f). c. DOD activities having responsibility for maintaining reusable container drawings and related technical data must send a copy of the complete drawing package to CDRS/MO for inclusion in the CDRS database file. Test reports completed per ANSI 239.18 need not be included in the data package unless specifically requested. The DID pertaining to CDRS data input is DI–PACK 80684. Chapter 6 Lead Activities for Packaging Testing 6–1. Lead services objectives Lead services for testing and evaluating packaging materials and processes are established to attain the following objectives: a.
Eliminate duplication of effort in testing and evaluating packaging materials and processes. b. Provide package testing focal points. c. Improve skills and increase productivity through specialization. d. Standardize test equipment. 6–2. Lead service designations Lead activities are shown below along with their designated areas of responsibility for testing and evaluating materials and processes: 7 AR 700–15/NAVSUPINST 4030.28E/AFJMAN 24–206/MCO 4030.33E/DLAR 4145.7 • 12 January 2004
