MIL-STD-904A, MILITARY STANDARD: GUIDELINES FOR DETECTION, EVALUATION, AND PREVENTION OF PEST INFESTATION OF SUBSISTENCE (13 JAN 1984)., Purchasing agencies within the Department of Defense strive to purchase the highest quality subsistence available, but because of the world-wide mission and the severe conditions that some subsistence must withstand, food pest problems are inherent. This standard establishes actions to be taken for subsistence that has been discovered to be infested or contaminated by insects, rodents, birds, or other animals before or after final acceptance by an element of the Department of Defense. It provides a list of inspection and insect collection equipment, references, inspection procedures, sampling techniques, and insect collecting procedures.
