Code Lookup - The Navy has developed a database to help you gather descriptions to the following types of codes: MIL-STD-2073 packaging requirements, special material content, hazardous materials, shelf-life, shelf-life action, and type of storage. The following illustrations are the three most common contractual packaging requirement formats used by Defense Supply Center Columbus.
