Real Government employee here. The contract was issued in Fiscal Year 1984. Contract period of perfomance generally do not exceed 5 years. THus the item was produced between 1 Oct 84 and 30 Sep 1989.
The first part of the contract Number DLA400 is the DoDAAC sort of a zip code. With out looking any further into it I can tell you it was issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). DLA contracts for consumable items. So No HMMMWVs but bolts, tents and so on.
See DoD Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS) for a complete explaination of what which character means in every contract number. Like wise NSNs all have specific meanings for each number, much like a VIN on a vehicle.
Edit, I saw one of these in the dumpster a few months ago. I passed on it.

Wow. Thanks for the info, guys. I'm kinda glad its not as old as i thought. I'll clean it up and
use it. The plastic was throwing me off too.
Too bad some are missing. But not bad for the price. It was 15 bucks. Toymeister-- you must see a cool stuff in the dumpster. If you come across a bunch of the bins, let me know. Thanks again, guys.

Another way to tell it's newer is the "00" in the NSN. Older NSN's do not have this it was added later so they could increase the size of the NSN numbering system without duplicating numbers. Older stuff became "00" and newer stuff being added to the NSN system had "01" there. As they need more NSN's they can make it 02 all the way up to 99.

I would guess Vietnam era or newer. There was no plastic bins in WWII.
There were no Federal stock numbers, or even the term "avionics" in WWII.

Lol, good catch, 00 and 01 are assigned to USA, but several of the others are assigned to other NATO counties. NSNs with out the NCB code were FSMs. Toymeister hit it right on the head with the contract number.

Thats funny, but not correct. 00 and 01 both mean made in USA. 00 means not NATO suitable (say a SAE wrench) 01 is USA made and NATO compliant.
00 and 01 both started in 'existance' at the same time.

Federal Stock numbers were the predicesors to National Stock Numbers. FSNs were arround early in the Veitnam war

You would cry if you saw what is shredded and sent for scrap. Entire MRAPs are cut for scrap. It cost 90,000 just to cut it up in small enough pieces, or so I am told. My 3/4 ton 4X4 ford (2011) was shredded, why? Bad starter, we are leaving anyways was the logic.
