§ 101-27.206-2 Identification and shipping requirements.
Manufacturers shall, whenever practicable, be required to mark the unit or container with the month and year of manufacture or production and the batch number on all shelf-life items (60 months or less) procured from other than GSA sources. Whenever practical, the supplier shall be required to ship or deliver material within a given number of months from the date of manufacture or production. These “age on delivery” requirements should not be imposed in such a manner as to unduly restrict competition at any trade level. The following guidelines are suggested as appropriate for most shelf-life items:
Shelf-life period Age on delivery 25 mos. or more 6 mos. 19 to 24 mos 4 mos. 13 to 18 mos 3 mos. 7 to 12 mos 2 mos. 6 mos. or less 1 mo. or less. [40 FR 59595, Dec. 29, 1975]
