ADC 1313

Allocation of Additional Air Force RIC Series

(DoDAAD)

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION:

a. Technical POC: U.S. Air Force, A4, Logistics Readiness Division, Colquitt 

Lawrence, at 703-692-2348, email: Colquitt.lawrence.civ@mail.mil. 

b. Functional POC: Enterprise Business Standards Office, DoDAAD PRC Chair, Tad 

DeLaney, at 703-767-6885, email: DoDAADHQ@dla.mil. 

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA:

a. Primary/Secondary Functional Area: DoDAAD

b. Primary/Secondary Functional Process: DoDAAD

3. REFERENCE:

a. DLM 4000.25, Defense Logistics Management Standards (DLMS), Volume 6, 

Chapter 2, Department of Defense Activity Address Directory

b. DLM 4000.25.1, Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP)

4. APPROVED Change: This change allocates the use of DoDAAD Series “J” for use in

routing identifier codes (RIC) for the U.S. Air Force. Substantive revision subsequent to staffing 

are highlighted in yellow.

a. Background: Several of the DOD Components are depleting their current authorized 

RIC series, because they are using the RIC for purposes beyond the original intent of the RIC as 

shorthand version of the communication routing identifier (COMMRI). The most prolific of 

these additional uses is using the RIC as a plant code identifier in certain commercial, off-theshelf (COTS) enterprise resource planning (ERP) software applications (e.g., SAP). There are 

not enough permutations of the three character RIC to support using them for this purpose. The 

allocation of this additional RIC series for Air Force will not solve this issue and only serves as a 

temporary stop gap to permit the Air Force more time to develop the means to eliminate using 

the very limited RIC altogether. The intended long-term solution is to use the DoDAAC for 

purposes that rely upon the RIC today – an effort that is currently being undertaken by Enterprise 

Business Standards Office (EBSO) on behalf of DOD. NOTE: The allocation of the J series is 

the last code available for Air Force. 

b. Requested Change in Detail: Allocate additional RIC series “J” for Air Force

Contractors. This will require changes to the DoDAAD, DAASINQ, eDAASINQ, and the 

DoDAAD Update Application. 
Attachment, ADC 1313

c. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals:

(1) Update to DLMS Volume 6, Chapter 2. Update the DoDAAD Series Table

and Central Service Point (CSP) list accordingly.

(2) Update to MILSTRIP Appendix 2.2. See Enclosure 1, updates in red, bold,

italic.

d. Alternatives: None

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: Air Force stated they need more RICs for Contractor use. This 

change allocates the remaining J series RICs to solve a near term requirement. Long term, 

Components will need to adopt the DoDAAC for processing currently reliant upon the RIC.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Provide Air Force with additional RICs as an interim solution. 

b. Disadvantages: Not a permanent solution.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Authorized for immediate 

implementation when this DLMS change is released as an ADC. Target timeline for DAAS

updates to the DoDAAD is 60 days from the publication of this ADC.

8. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: The cost savings is unknown. The point of this 

change is to provide a stop gap for the Air Force until they can adopt the DoDAAC for processes 

currently reliant upon the RIC.

9. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: LOGDRMS must update DLMS Qualifier Table 

71 (Service and Agency Code).

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS):

(1) Documented in paragraph 4.c. above, and in paragraph 9.d. below. 

(2) There may be an impact to WebSDR. Possible areas for review are:

(a) Routing transactions addressed to these activities (how, where, etc.)

(b) Email distribution(s) to each (if designated as an option by Air Force

for special conditions)
Attachment, ADC 1313

Page 3

(c) Any inclusion of new activities in existing (or new) scheduled reports 

for Air Force (e.g., Weekly Air Force WebSDR Listing for Suspended Material, Weekly Air 

Force WebSDR Listing for POF)

(d) Certificate registration of individual or group emails for any encrypted 

emails (distribution, reports, etc.)

(e) Activity categorization updates for metrics

(3) Possible impact to LMARS, if measurement and reporting of the logistics 

response time is based on RICs.

d. DAAS: Air Force currently has access to RICs D, E, and F. Add “J” to the list 

allocated to the Air Force and add “J” to the dropdown lists for eDAASINQ and the DoDAAD 

Update application.

e. Army and Air Force. Army and Air Force are expected to make the necessary 

changes to their respective DoDAAC applications to mirror these changes to the DoDAAD.

f. Non-DLM 4000.25 Series Publications: The changes identified herein will need to 

be incorporated into the relevant Service/Agency-level DoDAAD management publications, 

including (but not limited to) the following: 

(1) U.S. Army: AR 725-50 

(2) U.S. Air Force: AFI 24-230

(3) U.S. Marine Corps: MCO 4400.201

(4) U.S. Coast Guard: COMDTINST M4000.2

(5) Defense Information Systems Agency: DISA Instruction 270-50-10

(6) Federal Property Management Regulations

SERVICE AND AGENCY CODES1

MILSTRIP SERVICE CODES

NUMBER OF 

CHARACTERS: One or two

TYPE OF CODE: Alpha

EXPLANATION: Services/Agency (S/A) codes are designed to accommodate S/A identity in 

Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP) 

documentation. For this purpose, these codes are used in conjunction with 

other codes to identify the parent S/A of requisitioners and other addressees. 

The S/A codes will be used in rp 4, 30, 31, 45, 46, 67, and 74 of the DD Form 

1348 series of documents according to the following MILSTRIP record 

position key:

4 First position of the Routing Identifier Code (RIC)

30 First position of the Document Number

31 Second position of the Document Number

45 First position of Supplementary Address

46 Second position of Supplementary Address

67 First position of RIC for U.S. storage activity preparing the

DD Form 1348-1A or DD Form 1348-2

74 First position of the RIC

By exception, two position combination codes using the authorized S/A code 

and a specified second position are authorized to identify contractor 

DoDAACs. 2 FEDSTRIP provides for the use of the two position codes,

defined as civil Agency codes, to be entered in rp 30-31 and 45-46 of the 

Government Services Administration (GSA) Form 1348 series of documents. 

The MILSTRIP Service codes 3 and the Federal Standard Requisitioning and 

Issue Procedure (FEDSTRIP) Agency codes4 are listed below:
