CHAPTER 1

GENERAL OVERVIEW

0101 GENERAL

This Volume provides updated policy and procedures for the management of Marine Corps 

Department of Defense Activity Address Codes (DoDAACs). It ensures that the Marine Corps’ 

portion of the Department of Defense Activity Address Directory (DoDAAD) is accurately 

maintained, that systems which use DODAAC data are properly aligned, and that effective internal 

controls are in place per DoD regulations. This policy also directs the management of Marine Corps 

Routing Identifier Codes (RICs) and provides the criteria and requirements for establishing, 

updating, or deleting DoDAACs and RICs. Adherence to the provisions established in this policy 

will facilitate greater fidelity in fiduciary and pecuniary responsibilities, as well as greater accuracy 

in the accountability of equipment.

0102 TERMS

010201. General

The proper identification of a command, agency, activity, or unit is critical in the Marine 

Corps. Most often, a unit’s identity is associated with its name. Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps 

(HQMC) is the namesake for the highest echelon of command within the Marine Corps; however, in 

order to identify HQMC within various information systems, an abbreviated identifier is created and 

used to represent the organization. Each of the systems upon which we rely to conduct critical 

business operations across the Marine Corps require some means other than a unit’s name to properly 

identify Marine Corps organizations. Just as a Social Security Number (SSN) is used to identify a 

person in various systems, unit identifiers are used to identify commands, agencies, activities, and

units within various systems.

010202. Unit Identifiers

The Marine Corps uses various codes to represent the identity of a unit within Marine Corps 

information systems. There are several five and six-position unit identifiers which must not be 

confused. Each has a particular function within the system for which it was created. The following 

unit identifiers are most commonly used within the Marine Corps.

A. Unit Identification Code

Unit Identification Codes (UICs) are assigned by different agencies for different 

purposes. The following UICs are used within Marine Corps information systems to ensure proper 

execution of readiness reporting, equipment accountability, and financial management.

1. Financial UIC. A financial UIC is a five-digit numeric identifier which is 

used for financial reporting. For all units of the Department of the Navy (DON), the Navy Financial 

Management & Comptroller (FM&C) Office is responsible for assigning and maintaining a record of 

all financial UICs. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) is the executive agent who 

carries out this function on behalf of the Department of the Navy Financial Management and 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Comptroller (DON FM&C). A financial UIC is used for any Marine Corps command/activity that 

uses Navy financial management systems. Activities using Operations and Maintenance, Marine 

Corps (O&M MC) funds are designated by a Marine Corps DoDAAC. For Operations and 

Maintenance, Navy (O&M N) funds, organizations are identified by a Navy DoDAAC. Activities 

with Marine Corps DoDAACs at the Operational Budget (OPBUD) or Sub-Operating Budget 

(SUBOPBUD) levels (a.k.a. Allotment Recipient Indentifier (ARI) or Sub-Allotment Recipient 

Identifier (SRI) levels) must first be registered as financial UICs with DFAS. The Deputy 

Commandant for Installations and Logistics (DC I&L) performs this action by requesting a UIC from 

DFAS. The Marine Corps uses this five-digit, numeric identifier in its financial systems by adding 

an “M” at the beginning, which creates the DoDAAC. The DoDAAC is then loaded to Standard 

Accounting Budget and Reporting System (SABRS) by the Deputy Commandant, Programs & 

Resources (DC P&R) Accounting and Financial Systems Branch (RFA) for use as a financial UIC. 

This occurs only if the unit is planned to operate at the OPBUD (ARI) or SUBOPBUD (SRI) levels 

and will have an “M” DoDAAC. If the unit is below this level, a DoDAAC is created for the unit 

without first obtaining a five-digit UIC from DFAS. If a Marine unit requires a Navy DoDAAC, it 

must first be registered as a financial UIC with DFAS prior to the creation of the Navy DoDAAC.

2. Bureau Code Number. A Bureau Code Number (BCN) is a five-digit, 

numeric field used to identify the holder of the funds or OPBUD. The BCN for O&M MC 

appropriation will be the financial UIC code assigned to the allotment authorization (formerly 

OPBUD or SUBOPBUD) provided to commands. For example, III Marine Expeditionary Force 

(MEF’s) financial UIC “67438” appears as the BCN for the 3rd Marine Division, 3rd Marine 

Logistics Group (MLG), and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, because III MEF is the SUBOPBUD holder 

for all three major commands (MAJCOMs). For allotment holders, the first two alpha-numeric digits 

of the BCN are the budget project, and the last three numeric digits are the allotment holder. In the 

Marine Corps, a BCN is an SRI. See Appendix A for additional information.

3. Total Force Structure Management System UIC. A Total Force Structure 

Management System (TFSMS) UIC is a six-position alpha-numeric identifier which is created by the 

Deputy Commandant, Combat Development &Integration (DC CD&I), Total Force Structure 

Division (TFSD) for Navy and Marine Corps organizations (as per reference (a)). It is not the same 

as a five-digit financial UIC. The TFSMS UIC associates manpower and equipment requirements to 

the organization in accordance with the organization’s wartime (core) mission and approved unit 

Table of Organization and Equipment (TO&E).

4. Plans, Policies, and Operations, Readiness Branch UIC (PP&O POR UIC). 

A PP&O POR UIC is a six-position alpha-numeric identifier created by the Deputy Commandant, 

Plans Policies & Operations (DC PP&O) Readiness Branch (POR). Temporary units such as 

provisional units that are designated readiness-reportable in Defense Readiness Reporting System 

Marine Corps (DRRS-MC) use a DC PP&O POR UIC. Permanent units resident in TFSMS that are 

designated readiness-reportable in DRRS-MC use a TFSMS UIC. The numbers of these provisional 

units change depending upon operational requirements.

B. Reporting Unit Code

Reporting Unit Codes (RUCs), like financial UICs, are five-position, numeric 

identifiers. RUCs are created by the Deputy Commandant, Manpower and Reserve Affairs (DC 

M&RA) to identify a unit, activity, or sub-reporting unit for manpower reporting in Marine Corps 

Total Force System (MCTFS). RUCs are also assigned to identify echelons of commands that may 

not submit unit diaries (e.g., division, regiment, aircraft wing, and aircraft group). Personnel 

assignments and reporting are based not only on the RUC but also on the Monitored Command Code 

(MCC); a three-digit code used for personnel assignments.

Note: A RUC is not the same as a DoDAAC or UIC.

C. Department of Defense Activity Address Code

A DoDAAC is a six-position, alpha-numeric identifier which is created by the Marine 

Corps Central Service Point (CSP) at DC I&L and is used extensively throughout logistics and 

financial information systems. The DoDAAC is used by DC P&R as a UIC within the Marine 

Corps’ financial reporting systems (i.e., SABRS and the Programming and Budget Documentation 

Database (PBDD)). The following are some common uses of a DoDAAC:

1. Major Command Recipient Identifier. A MAJCOM Recipient Identifier 

(MRI) is a DoDAAC used in SABRS to identify a command that receives funds directly from 

HQMC. MAJCOM Recipients may pass funds to Allotment Recipients within their command. 

Examples of MAJCOM Recipients are Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Pacific; Commander, 

U.S. Marine Corps Forces Command; Commander, Marine Corps Logistics Command

(MARCORLOGCOM); and Commander, Marine Corps Combat Development Command.

2. Allotment Recipient Identifier. An ARI is a DoDAAC used in SABRS to 

identify a command that receives an allotment or OPBUD from an MRI. Examples of ARIs are 

Commander, Marine Corps Installations East, and Commander, Marine Corps Installations West. 

MRIs are also ARIs when they pass funds to themselves. An example of an MRI that passes funds to 

itself as an ARI is Commander, Marine Corps Forces Pacific.

3. Sub-allotment Recipient Identifier. An SRI is a DoDAAC used in SABRS 

to identify a subordinate command that receives a portion of an allotment or OPBUD from an ARI. 

Examples of SRIs are Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, and I 

MEF. MAJCOM Recipients are also Allotment/Sub-allotment Recipients when they pass funds to 

themselves. An SRI is the lowest level at which legal responsibility (as per reference (b)) can be 

passed. See also financial UIC above.

4. Work Center Identifier. A Work Center Identifier (WCI) is a DoDAAC 

used in SABRS to identify a subdivision of an SRI. These activities are held administratively 

responsible for funds management.

5. Major Activity Command. A Major Activity Command (MAC) is a sixposition alpha-numeric code used to identify a command that has received funds through an OPBUD 

or SUBOPBUD, or has significant administrative control and influence on the use of authorized 

funds within the command. The MAC is the same as the WCI. The MAC identifies the unit

electronically for accounting and reporting purposes and is constructed by 

using an "M" (Marine Corps) in position one, followed by the five-digit UIC.

6. Activity Address Code. An Activity Address Code (AAC) is an archaic 

term still used within certain legacy systems, as well as in SABRS. In SABRS, it is used to identify 

DoDAACs with authority code 00. The more widely used term is DoDAAC.

7. Business Partner Number. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) 

implemented the Business Partner Number (BPN) in 2003 to identify federal agencies and DoD 

activities with requisition authority that enter into agreements with one another for the purpose of 

acquiring materials and services. Activities must identify themselves with a unique BPN on all intragovernmental transactions. All BPNs for DoD activities are listed in the Federal Registry (FedReg) 

System with each BPN containing the six-character DoDAAC unique to its activity. As such, 

accurate DoDAAC assignment and management is critical as FedReg pulls information automatically 

from the DoDAAD.

8. Document Numbers. A document number is used to uniquely identify a 

specific transaction derived from a source document for recording, tracking, and management 

purposes. Per reference (d), Resource Managers are responsible for document number management 

as well as maintenance of the source documents for which the document numbers were created. 

There are three types of document numbers used: the Standard Document Number, Military 

Standard (MILS) Requisitioning and Issue Procedures (MILSTRIP) Document Number, and 

Procurement Instrument Identification Number (PIIN). See Appendix B.

D. Routing Identifier Code (RIC)

A RIC is a three-digit code used to identify an activity for the purpose of routing 

logistics transactions. Every RIC is associated to a DoDAAC, but not every DoDAAC associates to 

a RIC.

0103 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTIVITY ADDRESS DIRECTORY

The DoDAAD is a set of interactive database tables, sometimes referred to as the DoD Activity 

Address File (DoDAAF) which is managed by Defense Logistics Agency Transactions Services 

(DLA TS), formerly known as the Defense Automatic Addressing System Center (DAASC). It is the 

single authoritative data source (ADS) for address information for DoD component application 

systems’ data requirements. These data requirements are fulfilled by the use of DoDAACs. As such, 

the DoDAAD contains all DoDAACs used throughout the DoD and is the official repository for both 

DoDAACs and RICs. Policy governing the DoDAAD is published in reference (e) under the 

authority of reference (c) DLA TS is responsible for editing, routing, and electronic transmission of 

logistics transactions to the military services, federal agencies, and contractors.

010301. The DoDAAD is a collection of addresses and alpha-numeric codes which 

identify units and organizations throughout the defense establishment, along with certain 

governmental agencies and civilian contractors which requisition, contract for, ship, or receive 

materiel/services; fund/pay bills; and/or account for DoD-owned supplies and materiel under the 

Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS).
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 1 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

1-6

010302. The DoDAAD system provides identification codes, clear text addresses, and 

selected data characteristics of organizational activities needed for requisitioning, marking, shipping 

document preparation, billing, and similar applications. The DoDAAD is used by all DoD 

components and by the General Services Administration (GSA).

010303. The DoDAAD is an interactive relational database that stores identification, 

routing, address and other information for authorized use, including military components and 

agencies, participating federal agencies, authorized contractors, and authorized special program 

activities, such as state and local governments. The DoDAAD supports business application 

system’s data and interoperability requirements, including (but not limited to) supply chain, materiel 

management, distribution, transportation, maintenance, finance, and acquisition systems. Among 

other uses, DoDAAD information is used throughout the federal supply system for identification, 

requisitioning, shipping and billing.

010204. The DoDAAD is comprised of DoDAACs, which may be referentially linked 

to RICs. DoDAAC and RIC assignment is based on service and agency codes identified in reference 

(f). A unit, activity or organization may have more than one DoDAAC for different purposes.

0208 INDIVIDUAL COMMANDS AND ACTIVITIES

Every command and activity that has a DoDAAC is responsible for ensuring that the information 

within the DoDAAC is maintained accurately in order to minimize disruption to logistics and 

financial systems. All Marine Corps commands and activities will submit requests to update their 

DoDAACs to the CSP via their MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor.

0209 MAJOR COMMAND DODAAC MONITORS

For the purposes of DoDAAC management, the term “MAJCOM” has a dual meaning: the 

MAJCOM codes themselves and the commands those codes represent. Per reference (g), every 

DoDAAC has a two-digit code called a MAJCOM. This code designates the MAJCOM to which the 

unit possessing the DoDAAC belongs. There are currently 27 active MAJCOMs in the Marine 

Corps, each with a unique MAJCOM code (see Appendix C). By this structure, DoDAAD hierarchy 

is established within the Marine Corps.

020901. Each MAJCOM will appoint a primary and an alternate MAJCOM DoDAAC 

monitor through whom all requests are routed. Any changes in point of contact (POC) information, 

office symbol, and/or telephone number should be forwarded on an as-occurring basis to the CSP at 

DC I&L. In the event both MAJCOM DoDAAC monitors are unavailable for an extended period, 

the command will either appoint a new primary MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor or contact the CSP for 

assistance.

020902. Each MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor in the Marine Corps is responsible for 

managing the DoDAACs belonging to his or her MAJCOM as designated in the DoDAAD.

020903. The MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor receives, reviews, and 

approves/disapproves DoDAAC requests (additions, changes, and deletions) initiated by a unit within 

his or her MAJCOM or by the MAJCOM itself. The MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor shall review 

requests to ensure the information contained in the request is valid, is aligned to the proper authority, 

and is associated to the proper UIC per the information provided in this policy, and to ensure that the 

DoDAAC is properly enabling the intended business process for which it is being requested or 

updated. This function is also the focal point for the annual validation of all DoDAAC accounts 

within the command.

020904. MAJCOM Monitors for Contractor DoDAACs

Contractor DoDAACs are obtained primarily to enable the contractual arrangement between 

the government and the private sector for processes related to GFP or Contractor Acquired Materiel 

(CAM). Reference (h) tasks the MCAs at MARCORLOGCOM and MARCORSYSCOM with the 

responsibility of managing GFP/CAM on behalf of the Marine Corps. Accordingly, the MCAs shall 

serve as the MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor for all contractor DoDAACs. Consequently, all requests 

for contractor DoDAACs will be routed through the MCAs for screening and approval prior to final 

approval and action by DC I&L and the CSP.

0210 MARINE CORPS CONTRACTING OFFICERS

While the MCA is responsible for managing GFP/CAM, the responsibility for managing contractor 

DoDAACs lies with the Contract Administration Officer or Defense Contract Management Agency 

(DCMA) Office that has administrative oversight of the contract. Sponsors of contractors who have 

Marine Corps DoDAACs are responsible for the accuracy of the data contained in the contractor’s 

DoDAAC. All requests for contractor DoDAACS shall be forwarded to the CSP via the MAJCOM 

DoDAAC monitor. Specifically, contracting officers who have administrative oversight of contracts 

for which DoDAACs are assigned and are responsible for:

021001. Ensuring that the DoDAAC assigned by the CSP is included in the contract.

021002. Ensuring that the contract delineates how that DoDAAC is to be used 

(shipping, requisitioning, etc.).

021003. Ensuring that the contract stipulates how the GFP/CAM will be returned to 

the government prior to termination of the contract’s term, since the DoDAAC is deleted upon 

expiration of the contract.

021004. Submitting new DoDAAC requests for contractors, and ensuring that all data 

contained in the request is accurate.

021005. Initiating contractor DoDAAC change requests to include extensions of 

contract expiration dates. Contractor DoDAACs will automatically be deleted based on the 

expiration date of the contract.

021006. Monitoring contractor DoDAACs for contracts they have initiated to ensure 

any necessary modifications or extensions are submitted prior to a contract expiring.

CHAPTER 3

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTIVITY ADDRESS CODE ESTABLISHMENT

0301 UNITED STATES NAVY

030101. Systems

The Navy’s UICs and DoDAACs are the same as the Marine Corps’; however, unlike the 

Marine Corps, the Navy maintains three distinct databases for UICs in addition to their stewardship 

of Navy DoDAACs in the DoDAAD. Any command/activity that is performing a Marine Corps 

business process tied to a Navy system must be registered in the Navy’s systems as a Navy UIC and, 

as necessary, a Navy DoDAAC.

A. Navy UIC List

The Navy’s UIC list contains all five-digit UICs for Navy commands and shore 

activities that require registration and identity in Navy systems, especially financial management and 

accounting systems. The Navy’s UIC list is maintained by DFAS as the executive agent of the DON 

FM&C Office.

B. Standard Naval Distribution List

The Standard Naval Distribution List is the official listing of all established 

commands and detachments of the U.S. Navy (including homeport and permanent duty station 

assignments for fleet units). It is maintained and published by Director, Navy Staff, Director of 

Management, Organization and Management Branch (DNS-33) on behalf of the Secretary of the 

Navy and Chief of Naval Operations. It may be accessed at http://doni.documentservices.dla.mil.

C. Total Force Manpower Management System

The Navy’s Total Force Manpower Management System (TFMMS) is the Navy’s 

ADS for total force manpower requirements, active-duty manpower personnel, Navy/Reserve 

personnel, Navy manpower authorizations, and end strength. TFMMS supplies information to other 

civilian and military personnel accounting and distribution systems to assist them in their total force 

management functions. TFMMS’s approach is to track and display Navy manpower requirements 

through the use of unique Billet Identification Numbers.

030102. Navy DoDAACs

Three general categories of DoDAACs applicable to Marine Corps activities with Navy 

DoDAACs are published in reference (e), “Department of Defense Activity Address Directory”:

“N”, “R”, and “V” prefixed codes identify Marine activities which must have a Navy identifier for 

Navy systems/business processes. While the requirements to maintain Navy DoDAACs are the same 

as for maintaining Marine Corps DoDAACs, the process is slightly different. See Chapter 4 of this 

Volume.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 3 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

3-3

0302 UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

Two general categories of DoDAACs applicable to the Marine Corps are published in reference (e): 

"M" prefixed codes, identifying Marine Corps units; and "L" prefixed codes, identifying contractors 

with which the Marine Corps conducts business. The maintenance of current and accurate DoDAAC 

information is a command responsibility.

030201. Requirements

There are four primary criteria for creating a Marine Corps DoDAAC: authority, UIC, 

mission, and capability.

A. Authority

Every DoDAAC must be assigned to a commander who has overall responsibility for 

that DoDAAC and how it is used. It is the commander’s authority that directs the DoDAAC to be 

used for supply/fiscal and accounting business processes for which it is established. Applicable 

business processes that may be enabled or restricted for certain DoDAACs include the authority to 

requisition material (thereby obligating government funds), to be used as a shipping (Ship To) 

destination, to be used for billing, and to be used to account for government property and material 

within an Accountable Property System of Record (APSR).

1. The NAVMC 11718 identifies this assignment and the commander’s 

validation that the command has adequate personnel structure (i.e., supply/fiscal officer, accountable 

property officer (APO), supply chief, supply/fiscal clerks, warehousemen) to perform the 

supply/fiscal accounting business processes enabled by the DoDAAC.

2. HQMC DC I&L approves two-digit authority codes which are used to 

restrict requisitioning, shipment, and billing by DoDAAC. Authority codes identify the capabilities 

and limitations that are associated with a particular DoDAAC and are used to prevent unauthorized 

requisitioning and billing by activities that do not have the authority or that lack the capability to 

manage applicable transactions within logistics and financial systems. See Appendix D for more 

information on authority codes.

3. When a unit’s assigned Table of Organization (T/O) does not include 

adequate supply management personnel to perform the command’s supply/fiscal accounting business 

processes, the unit is assigned a Ship-To-Only DoDAAC. This designates that the unit/activity is 

authorized to receive shipments, but cannot requisition or pay bills. It also implies that the activity 

has the requisite capability in trained personnel to do proper receipt and acceptance of materials 

received. In this case, a supporting activity will be identified to fulfill supply management functions 

(e.g., requisition management, funds obligations and expenditures) on behalf of the supported 

activity/unit.

4. Separately, if the supported activity requires its own DoDAAC but 

possesses no supply management personnel, a supporting activity will be assigned an additional 

DoDAAC in order to provide the applicable supply support to the supported activity. In this 

situation, the supporting activity shall be accountable for the DoDAAC of the supported activity. In 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 3 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

3-4

either case, the NAVMC 11718 shall include a certification that supply/fiscal accounting personnel 

are in place or that supply/fiscal management functions will be performed by a supporting activity on 

behalf of the requesting activity.

B. UIC

Every DoDAAC shall be associated to a UIC. The specific DoDAAC/UIC 

association depends on the type of unit/activity.

1. Permanent Activity. If the DoDAAC is required for a standing 

unit/activity that is represented by a UIC in TFSMS, the TFSMS UIC shall be used. Marine Corps 

Bulletin (MCBUL) 5400s establish permanent units in the Marine Corps and assign UICs.

2. Task-organized Activity. See chapter 5 in this Volume on task 

organizations.

3. UICs for Contractor DoDAACs. The UIC used for contractor DoDAACs 

shall be the UIC of the sponsoring command (e.g., contractor DoDAAC L00001 associated to UIC 

M38001 for MARCORLOGCOM, and DoDAAC L00002 associated to UIC M37101 for 

MARCORSYSCOM).

C. Mission

The newly created unit/activity must have a mission requirement that includes one or 

more of the following responsibilities: to requisition, ship, receive, fund/pay bills, and/or account for 

supplies, materiel, equipment, services, and any other requirement under policy and procedures 

issued by CMC and higher headquarters.

D. Capability

In order to perform supply/fiscal management functions in support of the unit 

mission, the unit/activity must have the requisite capability in trained supply management personnel 

(i.e., supply/fiscal officer, APO, and staff). Since most supply sections are assigned by T/O at the 

battalion level, units below the battalion/separate company level will not normally have DoDAACs 

assigned unless specified by HQMC. It is the responsibility of the activity commander to ensure that 

a property and/or financial accounting capability are provided as necessary to accomplish the mission 

of the unit/activity. Units that do not have the supply/fiscal accounting personnel capability will 

require the assistance of a supporting activity/unit tasked to provide the required support.

Volume 2, Chapter 3 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

3-5

030203. DoDAAC Assignment Logic

DoDAACs are created by the CSP at DC I&L according to a specific assignment 

methodology to ensure consistency and proper alignment to other identifiers. The CSP is responsible 

for creating DoDAACs using published assignment logic rules. To facilitate this, the internal 

assignment logic in Appendix E is used for creating DoDAACs. This information is kept on file by 

DLA TS and is published by DLMSO within DoD policy as the Marine Corps’ business rules for 

DoDAAC assignment logic. HQMC is responsible for developing, maintaining, and providing this 

information to DLMS on an as-occurring basis. DoDAACs may be based on MILSTRIP RICs (e.g., 

MMR100 identifies the General Account of the Supply Management Unit (SMU), 3d Supply 

Battalion, 3d MLG (RIC MR1)). Assigned DoDAACs will be unique and will not duplicate existing 

DoDAACs published in the DoDAAD.

030204. "M"-Prefixed DoDAACs

“M”-prefixed DoDAACs are assigned for Marine Corps units as follows:

A. Sub-allotment Recipient Identifier (SRI)-Level Units

In the initial construction of the six-digit DoDAAC prescribed by reference (e), if the 

activity has an existing financial UIC assigned by DFAS, the DoDAAC will be created by adding an 

“M” prefix to the five-digit UIC. DC P&R is responsible for creating financial accounting records in 

USMC financial management systems (i.e., SABRS).

1. When the requirement for a new DoDAAC arises that could potentially 

require inclusion in the DON UIC table, in order to ensure system alignment, DFAS shall be 

contacted to obtain a financial UIC which will then be used to create the new DoDAAC. DC I&L 

requests financial UICs from the DON FM&C via DFAS.

2. These financial UICs are then used to create the “M” DoDAAC for use in 

SABRS (when it is O&M, MC appropriations) and “N”, “R”, or “V” DoDAACs for Navy Systems 

(when it is O&M, N appropriations).

B. Work Center Identifier/Battalion-level Units

When a unit is created below the BCN/SRI level (i.e., at the battalion level), if the 

unit has an existing TFSMS UIC, the CSP shall use that UIC to create the DoDAAC. If, however, no 

financial or TFSMS UIC exists, the CSP shall unilaterally create a new DoDAAC from the 

DoDAAD according to the CSP’s DoDAAC Assignment Logic for creating unique DoDAACs. 

WCIs are usually a M4XXXX series DoDAAC.

C. Requisitioning DoDAACs

DoDAACs of all units authorized to requisition against funds allotted to the 

command will be loaded to SABRS Table 208. Failure to incorporate all DoDAACs authorized to 

charge funds under the applicable MRI/ARI/SRI/WCI/AAC will result in rejected requisitions. See 

also Appendix A.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 3 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

3-6

D. Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) DoDAACs

DoDAACs for business processes which utilize Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) are 

not listed in SABRS Table 208; however, they still require authority code 00. These DoDAACs are 

listed in, and governed as per reference (j).

030205. L-Prefixed DoDAACs

Since each service component’s CSP assigns DoDAACs independent of one another for 

contractors supporting their service component, a commercial activity may be identified by different 

DoDAACs assigned by each of the services. Furthermore, since DoDAACs for contractors are 

specific to a particular address, and since contractors can have multiple addresses necessary for the 

facilitation of various contracts, a single contractor may have multiple DoDAACs for a given service. 

These L-prefixed DoDAACs are assigned for contractors supporting the Marine Corps on existing 

contracts and must include all mandatory contractor information required by the contractor fields of 

the DoDAAC (see chapter 4 of this Volume). Contractor DoDAACs are not loaded to USMC

financial management systems.

030206. All the data elements contained in the DoDAAC, and outlined on NAVMC 

Form 11718, shall be included when requesting a DoDAAC from the CSP (see Appendix F).

030207. Once loaded, DoDAACs will not be changed or deleted, except by specific 

request of the command concerned.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTIVITY ADDRESS CODE MANAGEMENT

0401 THE DODAAC MANAGEMENT PROCESS

While situations vary for requesting the creation, update, or deletion of DoDAACs, the basic process 

remains largely the same. Figure 4-1 identifies the process flow for routing of information to 

request, update, or delete DoDAACs from the DoDAAD.

Figure 4-1. DoDAAC Management Process

0402 ROLE-BASED PROCESS

While currently not enabled by information technology, the DoDAAC management process is rolebased, as depicted in Figure 4-2. There are core functions that largely apply to anyone. These 

include the ability to search, view, and request a DoDAAC. This may be done via DLA TS at

https://www.transactionservices.dla.mil/DAASINQ/default.asp. Only authorized requestors within a 

MAJCOM may request changes, updates, or deletions to existing DoDAACs.

Figure 4-2. Detailed Workflow Process

0403 DODAAC REQUESTS

All DoDAAC requests are facilitated by a completed and approved NAVMC 11718 DoDAAC 

Request Form. Requests are generated by either an existing DoDAAC-holder or potential requestor 

and are forwarded to the MAJCOM monitor for validation and approval. The request is then 

forwarded to HQMC for action. If the request requires further validation/approval, it will be 

forwarded to other stakeholders across HQMC for review before arriving at the CSP for appropriate 

action. If the request is approved, the CSP manager then creates, updates, or deletes the DoDAAC 

via the DoDAAD update application of DLA TS and notifies the MAJCOM and requestor once 

action has been completed. Completed NAVMC 11718s will then be archived electronically by the 

CSP manager at DC I&L (LPC-2).

0404 TYPES OF REQUESTS

There are four types of DoDAAC requests: new, change, delete, and unit rotations. While detailed 

instructions for each are included in the NAVMC 11718, the following additional guidance is 

provided:

040401. Request for a New DoDAAC

Every DoDAAC is tied to the authority of the commander to whom it is assigned, and each is 

given an authority code as necessary to perform the business processes for which the DoDAAC is 

being requested to enable. There are several situations for which the creation of a new DoDAAC 

may be required:

A. Marine Corps Bulletin 5400

Per as per reference (a), whenever a new unit is activated, DC CD&I publishes 

guidance concerning how the new permanent unit shall be established. This guidance is provided via 

a MCBul 5400 which details all of the requisite instructions (i.e., unit name, unit identifiers, 

readiness reporting instructions, etc.) for every stakeholder in order to facilitate the activation of the 

new organization. For the creation of a DoDAAC, the process outlined in chapter 3 of this Volume 

applies to ensure that proper system alignment for the unit identifiers is accomplished. The MCBul 

5400 and NAVMC 11718 shall be forwarded to the CSP, via the corresponding MAJCOM monitor, 

to create the new DoDAAC.

B. Contractors 

When the Marine Corps requires support from a contractor that requires them to 

perform any of the business processes outlined in chapter 3 of this Volume, the Marine Corps 

contracting officer creating the contract will request a DoDAAC through the MCA at 

MARCORLOGCOM who acts as the MAJCOM monitor for all contractors doing business with the 

Marine Corps. The contracting officer shall ensure that the NAVMC 11718 is prepared with all 

pertinent information as required by chapter 3 and appendix F of this policy. Note: Contractor 

DoDAACs are set to automatically delete on the expiration date of the contract. Figure 4-3 details 

the process for requesting contractor DoDAACs.

C. Contingency, Exercise, and Other Accounts

Whenever there is a requirement to enable requisitioning, shipping, receiving, 

funding/paying bills, and/or accounting for resources for a readiness reportable unit in DRRS-MC, a 

DoDAAC is required. Permanent units reporting readiness in DRRS-MC will use the TFSMS UIC.

Whether the DoDAAC is required in support of an exercise or real world contingency, there is a 

planning process that considers all of the factors necessary to enable the unit to carry out its core or 

assigned mission. The DoDAAC is just one of these planning factors. See Chapter 5 in this Volume 

on unit deployments.

040402. Request to Change a DoDAAC

All Marine Corps activities are responsible for ensuring that the data contained within their 

DoDAAC is maintained accurate on an as-occurring basis. Whenever it becomes necessary to 

change the information contained in a DoDAAC (i.e., change to mailing address, deployments, etc.), 

a DoDAAC change request shall be forwarded to the CSP via the MAJCOM monitor. All of the data

elements contained in the NAVMC 11718 shall be completed as part of the request (see Appendix F). 

For task organization, refer to chapter 5 in this Volume.

040403. Request to Delete a DoDAAC

Whenever it becomes necessary to delete a DoDAAC, a NAVMC 11718 shall be forwarded 

to the CSP via the MAJCOM monitor. When a DoDAAC is deleted, it remains listed in the 

DoDAAD for five years past the deletion date before being purged by DLA TS.

A. Marine Corps Bulletin 5400

Per as per reference (a), when a unit is to be deactivated, DC CD&I publishes 

guidance for executing the deactivation. This guidance is provided via a MCBul 5400 which details 

all requisite instructions for every stakeholder. The MAJCOM monitor shall forward the NAVMC 

11718 request to delete the DoDAAC, along with the corresponding MCBul 5400, to the CSP. The 

CSP manager at DC I&L will then delete the DoDAAC and forward the information to the requisite 

business process owners (i.e., SASSY, GCSS-MC, SABRS, etc.). This action, however, shall be 

conducted only after supply and financial system records for the DoDAAC have been properly 

closed out by the unit/MAJCOM.

B. Contractors

When a contract reaches its expiration date without being renewed, the DoDAAC 

created for that contract will automatically be deleted. For contractor DoDAACs that were not set to 

automatically expire, the CSP manager shall periodically review the DoDAAD and delete any 

contractor DoDAACs whose contract expiration dates have passed. If a contractor’s RIC is tied to a 

series of National Stock Number (NSNs) for direct procurement, the contracted logistics support RIC 

becomes obsolete and a logistics reassignment to Management and Productivity Branch (MPB) at 

DC P&R transferring procurement and support responsibility needs to be accomplished prior to the 

deletion of the DoDAAC and its associated RIC.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 4 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

4-6

C. Other Accounts

When a DoDAAC was created to enable a particular business process, and that 

business process has been completed (i.e., end of a deployment or exercise), the MAJCOM monitor 

shall forward the NAVMC 11718 request to delete the DoDAAC to the CSP. The CSP manager will 

then delete the DoDAAC and forward the information to the requisite business process owners (i.e., 

SASSY, GCSS-MC, SABRS, etc.). NOTE: This action shall be conducted only after all system 

records for the DoDAAC have been properly closed out by the unit/MAJCOM.

D. DoDAAC Deletion

Commands shall not initiate DoDAAC deletion action until all outstanding 

requisitions (supply and fiscal actions) using that DoDAAC have been completed or canceled 

(including cancellation confirmation). A request for deletion of a DoDAAC will not be approved 

unless the command includes the statement "All outstanding requisitions for this DoDAAC have 

been canceled/completed." The MAJCOM is responsible for archiving accountable records for ten 

years (3 years active and 7 years archived).

E. Marine Corps activities that have been assigned Navy DoDAACs shall utilize 

DFAS Form 9025 to make changes to their Navy DoDAACs. The same workflow process shall be 

followed for processing these forms (i.e., unit to MAJCOM to HQMC CSP); however, approval 

signatures are not required on this form. Instructions for completing this form are contained in 

Appendix G. For any business process that uses Navy systems, a Navy DoDAAC is required, and if 

the process also involves Navy funding (O&M N), a Navy UIC must first be obtained (see chapter 3 

in this Volume). DFAS is the CSP for Navy DoDAACs, and the Marine Corps CSP is the MAJCOM 

DoDAAC monitor to the Navy for Navy MAJCOM NB.

0405 DODAAC VALIDATION AND MAINTENANCE

The maintenance of current and accurate address information in the DoDAAD is a command 

responsibility. All Marine Corps units/activities shall ensure that their DoDAAC information is 

maintained current within the DoDAAD, in accordance with as per reference (e) and this policy.

040501. Annual Validation

In order to ensure that DoDAAC/RIC data is being properly maintained, DC I&L will task 

every MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor to validate Marine Corps DoDAACs and RICs on an annual 

basis. This annual validation will occur during the second quarter of each fiscal year. Commanders 

will review the data provided by DC I&L and submit corrections according to the instructions 

provided herein.

Volume 2, Chapter 4 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

4-7

040502. Proper Maintenance

Commanders must pay particular attention to the assignment of DoDAACs with requisition 

authority (authority code 00) and ensure that DoDAACs assigned this authority code meet the 

definition contained in this policy. In order to maintain the DoDAAD’s accuracy, all Marine Corps 

activities shall review and validate DoDAACs/RICs on a continuing basis and ensure that all address 

information is accurate and current. If required, take timely action to add, revise, or delete 

DoDAAC/RIC data per the policies outlined herein. Requests for changes shall be forwarded via 

NAVMC 11718 as outlined in chapters 4 and 5 in this Volume.

0406 DODAACS AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Reference (a) defines the Total Force Structure Process. This policy explains how the Marine Corps 

orchestrates organizational change. Once all of the planning factors are established for activating, 

deactivating, reorganizing, or relocating an existing organization, it is codified into a directive that 

lays out all the steps to be taken by all stakeholders across the Marine Corps to enable the 

organizational change. This directive is the MCBul 5400. Since DoDAACs are used to enable the 

business processes of an organization, it is critical that all equities are properly identified during the 

planning process for the following organizational changes.

040601. Unit Activations

In order to be assigned the appropriate DoDAAC, newly activated organizations must have 

the mission, authority, and capability to perform all of the business processes envisioned for the 

activity. If an organization lacks the proper capability for accountability of resources for which the 

DoDAAC is required, it shall be supported by another activity either through its own DoDAAC or 

through an additional DoDAAC managed by the supporting activity on behalf of the supported 

activity. In either case, all supported and supporting relationships will be identified within MCBul 

5400 in order to ensure the proper accountability of resources (i.e., property, materiel, services, 

funds, etc.).

040602. Unit Deactivations

Whenever an organization is scheduled to be deactivated, a MCBul 5400 will identify the 

actions required to ensure the proper close out of all systems using the DoDAAC for the activity. All 

close out actions must be accomplished prior to deleting the DoDAAC.

040603. Unit Reorganizations/Relocations

Any unit reorganizations or relocations that impact a unit’s DoDAAC must be reflected in the 

DoDAAC’s official information via the NAVMC 11718. This ensures that the DoDAAD reflects the 

current state of the organization.

CHAPTER 5

UNIT DEPLOYMENTS

0501 ORIGINATION

If it is determined that a DoDAAC is required to enable certain business operations during unit 

deployments, the MAJCOM will direct the submission of a DoDAAC Request (NAVMC 11718) and 

forward it to the CSP at DC I&L on behalf of the unit(s) affected by the deployment. For example, if 

a repair parts block must be forward-deployed to enable a maintenance detachment to perform fieldlevel maintenance, a DoDAAC will be required to enable ship-to and requisition capability for that 

parts block. The DoDAAC will be used to create the account within the requisite systems to create 

the block. In any case, the unit requiring the DoDAAC shall forward the DoDAAC request to the 

CSP, via the corresponding MAJCOM monitor.

0502 PLANNING FACTORS

The same planning factors considered during the planning process for new unit activations apply for 

the establishment of task organized units and provisional units. Key logistics planning factors 

include how the organization will conduct property accountability and control, readiness reporting, 

requisitioning, shipping, and billing. The identity of the unit within logistics and financial systems 

needs to be properly registered to ensure the successful execution of logistics business processes 

whether the deployment is a unit rotation in support of an enduring requirement, or the stand-up of a 

provisional unit. It is critical that all relevant system owners be properly notified by the initiator of 

the deployment (i.e., DC PP&O, MARFOR, MEF) to ensure that all authoritative systems are 

updated with required changes. A DoDAAC Request (NAVMC 11718) is necessary to change an 

existing DoDAAC or to create a new DoDAAC. Whatever the type of deployment, the alignment of 

the organizational UIC to the correct DoDAAC is the key event from which all subsequent system 

changes cascade ensuring uninterrupted business processes for logistics operations, financial 

management, and equipment reporting.

0503 TERMS

050301. Task Organized Unit

A temporary grouping of forces designed to accomplish a particular mission. These 

organizations are generally formed using a designated unit as the core element with augmentation of 

temporary reassigned personnel and equipment from other organizations based on the requirements 

to accomplish its assigned mission. The core unit’s TO&E, resident in TFSMS and identified by a 

UIC, serves as the baseline for logistics planning (e.g., personnel and equipment sourcing). If the 

unit’s assigned mission equipment requirements are different from their core Table of Equipment 

(T/E) captured in TFSMS, the unit will use an approved equipment density list (EDL) to capture the 

equipment requirements.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 5 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

5-3

050302. Provisional Unit

A service or combatant commander-(COCOM) directed temporary assembly of personnel 

and equipment organized for a limited period of time for accomplishment of a specific mission. 

Provisional units that are required to report readiness are identified by PP&O-provided UICs.

Examples are a SPMAGTF or a named organization approved by HQMC. Provisional Units can be 

registered in TFSMS using the PP&O-provided UIC along with the HQMC approved EDL.

0504 DODAAC/UIC DATA ALIGNMENT

050401. All Marine Corps approved APSRs will have appropriate DoDAAC/UIC 

alignment established to account for equipment and materiel at the DoDAAC level. UICs will not be 

used for accountability of equipment whether the unit is core or provisional. Within Marine Corps 

APSRs, DoDAACs are used to identify equipment sets that fill the T/E requirements of a unit. As 

such, every DoDAAC will be associated to a unit’s UIC. The specific DoDAAC/UIC association 

depends on the type of unit/activity. For example, if the DoDAAC is required for a permanent unit 

represented by a UIC in TFSMS, the DoDAAC will be associated to the UIC. A DoDAAC required 

for a provisional unit will be associated to the PP&O POR UIC assigned to the unit. The relationship 

between a UIC and DoDAAC is one of “requirements” to “resources.” Within TFSMS, a DoDAAC 

is used to identify the property account ID that satisfies the requirements represented by the T/E of a 

UIC.

050402. Maintaining the relationship between UIC and property account ID 

(DoDAAC) within TFSMS is the product of the DoDAAC update process. This relationship 

principally identifies the unit’s core mission equipment requirements and the property account 

(DoDAAC) that satisfies these requirements. A unit’s core mission structure is the TO&E resident in 

TFSMS. The DoDAAD is the ADS for the relationship between UICs and DoDAACs. Per this 

guidance, all other systems shall consume this data directly from DoDAAF to ensure data integrity 

across the Marine Corps enterprise. Procedures for establishing DoDAAC/UIC alignment in support 

of equipment accountability and reporting are provided below.

0505 TYPES OF DEPLOYMENTS

For the purposes of DoDAAC management, there are generally four types of deployment scenarios: 

training exercises, contingencies, unit rotations, and deployments afloat. Whenever a DoDAAC is 

required to account for equipment requirements in support of a task organization or a unit executing 

an assigned mission different from their wartime (core) mission, the unit will either maintain the 

same DoDAAC, request an exercise DoDAAC, or request a contingency DoDAAC via their 

appropriate chain of command (Major Subordinate Command (MSC) or MEF DoDAAC Monitor).

050501. Training Exercises

An infantry battalion may provide a company for a local training exercise. In this example, 

the company is not detached from its parent battalion as it is performing training at a temporary 

location. The DoDAAC assigned to the unit will not change.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 5 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

5-4

A. Task-Organized Exercise

A task-organized exercise involves the creation of an exercise DoDAAC to facilitate 

a newly-formed task-organized unit conducting an exercise. An exercise DoDAAC is created using 

assignment logic of “MM____” series DoDAACs already established for the applicable MEF (See 

Appendix E). The third digit of the DoDAAC will be an alpha character. Exercise DoDAACs will 

be associated to the assigned TFSMS UIC of the unit. The NAVMC 11718 will be used to request 

the DoDAAC in accordance with this policy.

B. Unit Provides a Detachment in Support of a Task-Organized Exercise

When a unit provides a detachment of personnel and/or equipment for a taskorganized exercise, the detachment is no longer under the tactical control (TACON) of their parent 

organization. For example, a battalion detaching a company of personnel and/or equipment to 

another unit for a training exercise at a deployed location would assign the company as TACON to 

the unit gaining the resources. Align the exercise DoDAAC to the UIC of the unit that gained the 

personnel and equipment.

C. Unit Conducts Training in Support of a Task-Organized Exercise

When a unit is conducting training and has personnel and/or equipment temporarily 

located away from the location of the unit, these resources still belong to the parent unit. For 

example, when a battalion provides a company for a training exercise at an alternate location from 

the unit, the unit continues to report on the resources even though they may be geographically 

separated. Align the exercise DoDAAC to the UIC of the parent unit.

050502. Contingencies

A contingency involves the creation of a contingency DoDAAC to facilitate a task-organized 

or provisional unit conducting an assigned mission within a theater under the jurisdictional control of 

one of the unified commands or in support of a national command authority. In these instances, 

create a contingency DoDAAC using the assignment logic of “MX____” series DoDAACs (See 

Appendix E). Align the contingency DoDAAC to the appropriate TFSMS or PP&O POR UIC (e.g., 

M99XXX). For example, SPMAGTF-12 CE (PP&O POR UIC M99999) receives attachments from 

other reporting units. In this instance, align the DoDAAC to the PP&O POR UIC M99999.

A. Units providing detachments to the task-organized or provisional unit will be 

assigned the contingency DoDAAC. The DoDAAC will be associated with the PP&O POR UIC.

B. For units executing an assigned mission, other than their wartime (core) 

mission, (e.g., an infantry battalion performing the assigned mission of Marine Expeditionary Unit 

(MEU) Battalion Landing Team or SPMAGTF), the DoDAAC will not change and the unit will use 

the same TFSMS UIC.

C. Supply activities attached to task organized and/or provisional units involved 

in an overseas contingency operation and geographically separated from their retail level supply 

support activity will: 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 5 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

5-5

1. Route all supply requisitions directly to the “in-theater” supporting Marine 

Corps retail activity or other service inventory activity, if available.

2. Have their source routing rules set to requisition directly to DAASC when 

not directly supported by an “in-theater” Marine Corps retail activity.

D. General Guidance

1. DoDAACs assigned to contingency task-organized units or provisional 

units will be for limited periods not to exceed two years. At the end of the two years, the organizing 

authority will determine if the DoDAAC assigned is still required for the contingency or provisional 

unit. Recommendations to permanently maintain the DoDAAC must be made through the 

appropriate channels.

2. Organizations providing equipment in support of contingency taskorganization or provisional unit property accounts is not a basis for sourcing/requisitioning military 

equipment (ME) from agencies outside the MARFOR in which the unit is organized. ME shortfalls 

will be internally sourced or will be identified to the activity which established the task-organized or 

provisional unit.

3. ME used to organize a contingency task-organization or provisional unit 

will not exceed the overall approved acquisition objective (AAO)/Table of Equipment of the 

activity/MARFOR which established the unit.

050503. Unit Rotations

A rotation of forces involves a relief in place/transfer of authority. As this transfer of 

authority affects all business processes for which each commander is responsible, it is essential that 

applicable systems be updated with correct unit information prior to the date of transfer. To facilitate 

this, updating DoDAAC/UIC associations of the units involved follows a similar process.

A. Unit Deployment Program

In order to ensure uninterrupted business processes for both organizations, DoDAAC 

updates must be performed within TFSMS, GCSS-MC, and the DoDAAD. Updates to all three 

systems must occur simultaneously. In order to ensure consistency and proper timing for updating 

DoDAAC/UIC associations for both units, the following procedures apply:

1. TFSMS Updates. In order to ensure that proper equipment allowance 

information is fed from TFSMS to GCSS-MC for accurate asset management, the permanent UIC of 

each command must be associated with the DoDAAC of the equipment set that the unit is falling in 

on. Example: A deploying unit from 2d Marine Division (MARDIV) must disassociate its UIC from 

the DoDAAC (equipment set) at Camp Lejeune and associate (align) it with the DoDAAC of a 

supply account in Okinawa. The reverse actions must occur for a unit deployment program (UDP)

unit redeploying from Okinawa to Camp Lejeune. TFSMS updates for both units will be requested 

by the MAJCOM in the Continental United States (CONUS) via naval message. The request will be 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 5 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

5-6

submitted to DC I&L (LPC-2) via the MEF G-4 and will identify the exact date for TFSMS updates 

to take effect for both commands.

2. GCSS-MC Updates. Similar updates must be performed within GCSSMC to ensure proper DoDAAC/UIC associations for requisitioning and supply processes. Updates 

for the deploying and redeploying units must be accomplished by submitting separate Abstract BR100 forms. Both units must submit their Abstract BR-100 to the MAJCOM G-4. The MAJCOM G-4 

will include both Abstract BR-100 forms as attachments to the naval message discussed above. Once 

the message is received and approved at DC I&L (LPC-2), the Abstract BR-100 forms will be 

forwarded to MARCORLOGCOM for execution. GCSS-MC updates for both commands will be 

executed on the same day as the updates within TFSMS.

3. DoDAAD Updates. Finally, updates must be performed within the 

DoDAAD to display updated DoDAAC/UIC associations for both units as they change location. 

Accordingly, each unit will submit a DoDAAC Change Request (NAVMC 11718) using the Unit 

Rotation portion of the form, and submit them to the MAJCOM G-4 in CONUS). The NAVMC 

11718 for each unit will be submitted to DC I&L (LPC-2) via the MEF G-4 as the second attachment 

to the naval message discussed. Once the NAVMC 11718 for each command has been reviewed and 

approved at DC I&L LPC-2, the forms will be passed to the CSP manager for execution. DoDAAC 

updates will be executed on the same day as the updates in TFSMS and GCSS-MC.

4. UDP Summary. As a summary, the MAJCOM for both the deploying and 

redeploying units involved in a UDP rotation will submit a naval message to DC I&L (LPC-2) via 

the MEF G-4. The body of the message will identify DoDAAC/UIC associations to be updated in 

TFSMS. The naval message will include requested GCSS-MC updates (Abstract BR-100 forms for 

each unit) as one attachment; and requested DoDAAC updates (NAVMC 11718) for both units as a 

separate attachment. DC I&L will approve and forward requested TFSMS updates to DC CD&I 

(TFSD) for execution. Requested GCSS-MC updates will be forwarded to MARCORLOGCOM for 

execution. Finally, DoDAAC updates within the DoDAAD will be executed by the CSP at I&L.

B. Overseas Contingency Operation

In the case of a RIP/TOA for an overseas contingency operation (OCO), there may be 

more than two MAJCOMs involved. As such, the Unit Rotation section of the NAVMC 11718 shall 

be used; however, the request must be properly coordinated between each MAJCOM to ensure that 

all unit DoDAACs are properly and simultaneously updated coincident with the actual transfer of 

authority. Careful attention must be given to ensuring that each DoDAAC is properly associated to 

the correct UIC.

050504. Deployments Afloat

Whenever a unit deploys aboard a naval vessel, not only does the DoDAAC need to be 

updated, but that information needs to be communicated to the Navy to ensure that its systems are 

similarly updated for cargo routing. The principal system for this information is the Cargo Routing 

Information File (CRIF). The following guidance is provided to ensure that the unit’s address 

information is correctly reflected in logistics systems.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 5 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

5-7

A. Submit NAVMC 11718

The deploying unit shall submit a completed/approved NAVMC 11718 DoDAAC 

Change Request to update the unit’s DoDAAC information. The NAVMC 11718 must be submitted 

to the MAJCOM monitor for approval and forwarding to the CSP at DC I&L. Since DoDAAC 

updates are relatively quick, this process should be communicated at least one week in advance of the 

date for requested changes.

B. Updates to the Cargo Routing Information File

Supported units shall use the CRIF for cargo routing by ensuring that their TAC-2 

freight addresses are loaded to the CRIF prior to deployment. This update is conveyed through both 

the NAVMC 11718 and notification to the Naval Supply Command via naval message sent from the 

MAJCOM. The CSP will update the TAC 2 of the unit coincident with the date requested to effect 

the change, and shall notify the Naval Supply Command of the change. The CSP will coordinate 

with the Naval Supply Systems Command Logistics Operations Center (NAVSUP LOC) to ensure 

that the consolidation and containerization point (CCP), aerial port of debarkation (APOD), water 

port of debarkation (WPOD), & break bulk point (BBP) information submitted by the unit does not 

conflict with the proper cargo routing intended for the unit. Appendix H provides additional 

guidance relative to the CRIF and deployments afloat.

CHAPTER 6

DODAAC CHARACTERISTICS AND DATA

0601 GENERAL

A DoDAAC is a six-position, alpha-numeric code that uniquely identifies a unit, activity, or 

organization in logistics and financial business systems within DoD DLMS. The first position 

designates the particular service/agency element of ownership. An alpha character in the first 

position indicates DoD, and a numeric character in the first position indicates non-DoD. The 

remaining five positions are assigned by each service’s CSP.

0602 DODAAC DATA FIELDS

While the DoDAAC itself is a six-digit, alpha-numeric identifier, this identifier contains a series of 

over 100 data fields which comprise its pedigree characteristics. The DoDAAD is the ADS for most 

of these data elements and/or their association to an activity. Since DoD information systems use 

this data during business operations, it is critical that the data fields be properly identified when new 

DoDAACs are created. It is equally vital that this information be kept current on an as-occurring 

basis by units who already have a DoDAAC. Including the DoDAAC as a data field, there are 97 

data fields currently in use by the Marine Corps. Following are the data fields which comprise a 

Marine Corps DoDAAC’s pedigree (see also Appendix F):

060201. Unit Identification Code (UIC)

The UIC data field was originally requested by United States Transportation Command 

(USTRANSCOM) for unit move purposes. For the Marine Corps, however, this field represents 

either the TFSMS UIC assigned by DC CD&I (TFSD), or the adhoc/provisional UIC assigned by DC 

PP&O POR to which the DoDAAC will be associated. Every DoDAAC shall be associated to a 

UIC. TFSMS is the ADS for TFSMS UICs assigned to permanent organizations, and DRRS-MC is 

the ADS for DC PP&O POR UICs assigned to provisional units.

060202. Authority Code

The authority code is a two-digit code used to restrict requisitioning, shipment, and billing by 

DoDAAC. It is assigned by DC I&L to identify the authority associated to a DoDAAC necessary to 

conduct the business processes for which the DoDAAC was originally established. For further 

information on the assignment of authority codes, see Appendix D. The DoDAAD is the ADS for 

this data element.

060203. Major Command Code

The MAJCOM code is a two-digit code that designates the MAJCOM to which the unit is 

subordinate within the DoDAAD. This code is used by MAJCOM DoDAAC monitors to manage 

unit DoDAACs within each MAJCOM. These codes are synonymous with Command Designator 

Codes used in supply systems for equipment stratification, and are contained in the latest version of 

reference (k). See also Appendix C. The DoDAAD is the ADS for this data element.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 6 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

6-3

060204. Combatant Commander

This is a 10-character field that denotes the COCOM to which the unit is attached (i.e., 

NORTHCOM, etc.). This field is system-generated.

060205. Last Update

This date represents the date that any data field of the DoDAAC was last changed/updated by 

the CSP.

060206. Procurement Authority Flag

The procurement authority flag is a one-digit field that, when entered with a “Y”, designates 

that a unit is authorized to write contracts against its DoDAAC. The DoDAAD is the ADS for this 

data element. Approval for this authority must be requested from, and can only be granted by DC 

I&L (LB), through the unit’s chain of command. This approval must be granted prior to submitting 

a DoDAAC request to the CSP. Units without this flag are not authorized to write contracts against 

their DoDAAC. There are currently 31 Marine Corps DoDAACs that have this authority, which is 

delegated from Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) for Acquisition, Technology and 

Logistics (AT&L) through the Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) to 

the Department of the Navy’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development 

and Acquisition. DASN, in turn, delegates this authority for the Marine Corps to DC I&L and the 

Commander of Marine Corps Systems Command . DC I&L (LB) advises the Commandant in all 

contracting matters and delegates contract authority to subordinate contracting officers. 

MARCORSYSCOM maintains separate contracting authority for purposes of systems/programs 

acquisition.

060207. Enterprise Identifier Flag

This code is for CSP use and identifies the DoDAAC as an enterprise record. This field is 

tied to the NEVER REUSE field. The DoDAAD is the ADS for this data element.

060208. Never Reuse

Used by the CSP for non-expiring DoDAACs for use in the Enterprise Unique ID registry. 

The permanent DoDAAC concept will require two new fields: “Cancelled/Never Reuse Flag” and 

“Enterprise Identifier Flag.” Neither field will be set within the DoDAAC update page; both will be 

system-generated.

060209. Routing Identifier Code

The RIC field is no longer used within the DoDAAC’s pedigree.

060210. Communication Routing Identifiers

Communication Routing Identifiers (COMMRIs) are codes established by DLA TS which 

are used to transmit data associated to the DoDAAC. While three COMMRIs are listed for a 

DoDAAC, only two are generally used.

A. Data Pattern or Status COMMRI

Data Pattern (DP) COMMRIs are associated to DoDAACs by DLA TS. They are 

used for the transmission of transactional data submitted against the DoDAAC. The DoDAAD is the 

ADS for the association of this data element to a DoDAAC/activity.

B. Plain Language Address COMMRI

There are only two Plain Language Address (PLAD) COMMRIs used for the Marine 

Corps. One is used for unclassified transmissions (RHMFIUU), and the other is used for classified 

transmissions (RHMFISS). In both cases, PLAD information is maintained by the Marine Corps 

Network Operations and Security Command on behalf of the Defense Information Systems Agency. 

The PLAD fields in the DoDAAD are no longer used for Marine Corps DoDAACs.

C. Billing COMMRI

Billing for active duty units throughout the Marine Corps is consolidated at DFAS. 

The DoDAAD is the ADS for the association of this data element to a DoDAAC/activity. The 

Billing COMMRI for all Marine Corps DoDAACs (other than contractors), unless otherwise 

specified, is RUQABAS, which correlates to the following TAC 3 address:

DFAS CLEVELAND

ATTN: USMC JAFBC

1240 EAST NINTH STREET

CLEVELAND OH 44199-2055

060211. Operating Materials and Supplies (OM&S) / Military Equipment (ME) 

Characteristics

A. ME Holding / OM&S Consuming

DoDAACs that hold ME and consume OM&S will be designated as such. These 

DoDAACs are typically associated with consumer-level supply accounts within the operating forces 

and supporting establishment.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 6 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

B. OM&S Holding

OM&S holding DoDAACs will be designated as such on the NAVMC 11718 and 

recorded in SABRS. For purposes of proper reporting to the United States Standard General Ledger, 

a DoDAAC cannot hold both ME and OM&S on its property records. These OM&S holding 

DoDAACs are required to report OM&S levels on a semi-annual basis in accordance with DoD 

7000.14R, Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation.

060212. Type of Address Code (TAC) Information

There may be up to four distinct addresses contained in the DoDAAD for each DoDAAC. 

These distinct delineations are Type of Address Code (TAC) designations. [Note: This should not 

be confused with “TAC” meaning Transportation Account Code. See reference (i).] Each TAC for a 

DoDAAC contains specific information relative to the owner of that DoDAAC and is defined as 

follows:

A. TAC 1

Referred to as owner information, the TAC 1 identifies the mailing address of the 

owner and correlates to the POC information contained for the DoDAAC. The U.S. Postal Service 

maintains the official repository of permanent mailing addresses. DC M&RA establishes policy for 

proper mailing addresses of all Marine Corps activities in accordance with reference (n). The 

Military Postal Service Agency establishes and maintains all deployed mailing addresses (the U.S. 

Army is the executive agent). Units requiring changes to their TAC 1, or new addresses for deployed 

contingencies, should notify their postal officer to obtain the valid mailing address. This information 

should then be submitted for inclusion in the DoDAAC. The DoDAAD is the ADS for the 

association of this address information to a unit for logistics and financial systems. Each 

requisitioning activity must have a TAC 1 address. TAC 1 address information fields are as follows:

1. Line 1. Thirty-five-character field, first line of the mailing address of the 

unit, activity, or organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD Logistics 

System. Authorized conventions for TAC 1 Line 1 are: COMMANDANT, COMMANDER, 

COMMANDING GENERAL, COMMANDING OFFICER, DIRECTOR, INSPECTORINSTRUCTOR, or OFFICER IN CHARGE.

2. Line 2. Thirty-five-character field, the second line of the mailing address 

of the unit, activity, or organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD 

Logistics System. This is usually an abbreviated rendering of the unit’s name. Examples include: 

7TH ENGRSPTBN, 3RD DENBN, 2ND ANGLICO, 1ST CBT ENGRSPTBN, II MHG, etc.

3. Line 3. Thirty-five-character field, the third line of the mailing address of 

the unit, activity, or organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD 

Logistics System (normally the street address). Examples include: PSC 2017, PO BOX 15320, 3D 

STREET MCAS, 1401 VANDEGRIFT BLVD MCB, etc. Note, it may also include building 

number, but should at least include either a post office box or street address.

4. Line 4. Thirty-five-character field, the fourth line of the mailing address 

of the unit, activity, or organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD 

Logistics System. The fourth line is generally created by the system by virtue of data entered for 

City, State, and ZIP Code fields.

5. Line 5. Thirty-five-character field, the fifth line of the mailing address of 

the unit, reserved solely for the country name associated with the International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO) 3166-1 country code and is automatically created for the Military Shipping 

Label (MSL) by the other data elements of the TAC. The MSL supports five lines, and United States 

Postal Service (USPS) requires that the country name be spelled out in English on the last line of the 

address.

6. City of TAC 1 mailing address. City of mailing address.

7. State of TAC 1 mailing address. This is a two-position alpha code of the 

state in the mailing address. If the address is outside of the United States it will be null.

8. ZIP Code of TAC 1 mailing address. United States Parcel Postal Code of 

the mailing address, expressed as either a five-position code or ten-position with a hyphen after the 

fifth position.

9. Two-digit International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Country 

Code. The code is assigned by ISO and is the most widely accepted of the different country code 

standards maintained within the DoDAAD.

10. Three-digit ISO Country Code. The code is assigned by ISO.

11. International Postal Code. There are two postal code fields in the 

DoDAAC. The ZIP is used exclusively for United States postal codes. The International Postal 

Code (IPC) ZIP is used for all other countries. Postal code data for non-US countries can be obtained 

by contacting the country's post office directly.

12. Effective Date. In Julian date format (yyyyddd), this is the date upon 

which the address became effective. The effective date is provided in the Plan of Action and 

Milestones (POAM) requirement stipulated by the MCBUL 5400 or as specified on the Governmentissued contract).

13. Delete Date. In Julian date format (yyyyddd), this is the date upon which 

the address was deleted. After this date, the address is no longer valid. The delete date is provided in 

the POAM requirement stipulated by the MCBUL 5400, or as specified on the government-issued 

contract.

14. MILSTRIP Country Code. This is a two-character MILSTRIP country 

code. The code is assigned by DoD and is published in reference (f).

B. TAC 2

Referred to as ship-to information, the TAC 2 identifies the ship-to or freight address 

for the activity (when the in-the-clear freight shipping address differs from the TAC 1). If no ship-to 

information is entered, the TAC 1 address is used. If the activity’s shipping/receiving is serviced by 

a Distribution Management Office (DMO) or Traffic Management Office (TMO), the information of 

the DMO/TMO would be used for the TAC 2. A TAC 2 is required for all overseas activities, to 

include BBP, CCP, APOD, and WPOD. Assistance in determining the proper BBP, CCP, APOD, 

and WPOD should be obtained from the transportation office supporting the unit concerned. If 

additional assistance is required, units should contact the Marine Corps DoDAAD CSP by message.

The DoDAAD is the ADS for the association of this address information to a unit for logistics and 

financial systems. CONUS TAC 2 addresses will include a standard point location code which will 

be assigned by the Marine Corps CSP. TAC 2 address information fields are as follows:

1. Line 1. Thirty-five-character field, the first line of the shipping address of 

the ship-to activity. Examples include: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OFFICER, SUPPLY 

OFFICER, COMMANDING OFFICER, etc.

2. Line 2. Thirty-five-character field, the second line of the ship-to activity, 

usually the name of the shipping/receiving activity. Examples include: MATERIAL 

DISTRIBUTION CENTER, 2D SUPPLY BN, MCAS NEW RIVER, etc.

3. Line 3. Thirty-five-character field, the third line of the mailing address of 

the ship-to activity (normally the street address). This cannot be a PO Box or PSC. It must be a 

physical location. It should include a street address, but in the absence of such, a building number 

should be provided, and/or a “Mark For” and the unit or DoDAAC for whom the shipping/receiving 

is being performed.

4. Line 4. Thirty-five-character field, the fourth line of the ship-to address of 

the unit, activity, or organization that is authorized to receive material from the DoD Logistics 

System. This line is generally created by the system by virtue of data entered for City, State, and ZIP 

Code fields.

5. Line 5. Thirty-five-character field, the fifth line of the ship-to address of 

the unit, reserved solely for the country name associated with the ISO 3166-1 country code, and 

automatically created for the MSL by the other data elements of the TAC. The MSL supports five 

lines, and USPS requires the country name to be spelled out in English on the last line of the address.

6. City of TAC 2 address. City of ship-to address.

7. State of TAC 2 address. This is a two-position alpha code of the state in 

the ship-to address. If the address is outside the United States it will be null.

8. ZIP Code of TAC 2 address. United States Parcel Postal Code of the shipto address, expressed as either a five-position code or ten-position with a hyphen after the fifth

060213. Transportation Information

The following fields provide additional transportation data for the DoDAAC:

A. Consolidation and Containerization Point

The CCP three-character code is used for shipping purposes when supplies are 

shipped via surface freight. The code is defined in reference (q). Currently there are only two valid 

values for a CCP: 101 (East Coast Consolidation Point, address found in DoDAAC W25N14), or 301 

(West Coast Consolidation Point, address found in DoDAAC W62N2A). Every outside CONUS 

(OCONUS) DoDAAC will either have 101 or 301 assigned. CCPs are not assigned to CONUS 

DoDAACs. The DoDAAD is the ADS for the association of this data element to a 

DoDAAC/activity.

B. Standard Point Location Code

The Standard Point Location Code is a system-generated, nine-character field which 

denotes a CONUS location capable of processing shipments. It is assigned by the National Motor 

Freight Traffic Association and is associated with a DoDAAC based on the TAC 2 shipping address 

(TAC 1 if TAC 2 does not exist). The DoDAAD is the ADS for this information.

C. Geo-Location

This field is no longer used.

D. Break Bulk Point

The BBP is the location that material is shipped to and broken into smaller shipments 

for onward movement. For units who are supported by consolidated shipping/receiving, the BBP is 

the DoDAAC of the Shipping & Receiving activity (i.e., DMO/TMO, etc.).

E. Air Lines of Communication

F. Bill of Lading Office Code

The Bill of Lading Office Code (BLOC) is a four-character code defined in reference 

(q) and can be downloaded from the USTRANSCOM Table Management Distribution System 

(TMDS) website. The DoDAAD logic was changed in 2009 to directly load the BLOC from TMDS, 

so the CSP no longer directly enters this data.

G. CONUS or OCONUS

This one-character field (“C” or “O”) simply denotes whether or not the unit is within the 

CONUS or OCONUS. It is system-generated.

H. Aerial Port of Debarkation

The APOD code is defined in the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR). DLA TS 

downloads a table of APOD information from USTRANSCOM to load the drop-down values in the 

DoDAAD update application. A new copy of the APOD is downloaded every time the table is 

updated by USTRANSCOM.

I. Water Port of Debarkation

The WPOD code is defined in the DTR. DLA TS downloads a table of WPOD 

information from USTRANSCOM to load the drop-down values in the DoDAAD update application. 

A new copy of the WPOD is downloaded every time the table is updated by USTRANSCOM.

060214. Plain Language Address Information

The DoDAAC no longer uses this information.

060215. Contract Information

In order to create “L” DoDAACs for contractors supporting the Marine Corps, the following 

additional fields are required. Once the DoDAAC is created, the DoDAAD is the ADS for the 

association of these data elements to an activity for logistics and financial systems:

A. Contract Number

This is a 17-character field used to enter the current valid support contract for which 

the DoDAAC was created. Multiple contracts can be associated to a single DoDAAC; however, only 

one contract will be resident in the DoDAAD. This should be the longest running contract.

B. Contract Expiration Date

This is a seven-character field used to enter the expiration date of the support contract 

for which the DoDAAC was created. Upon creation by the CSP, the DoDAAC is set to 

automatically delete on this date.

C. Contract Sponsor

This is a nine-character field used to enter the major command who funded the 

contract, which is usually the command being supported by the contract. For the Marine Corps, the 

requisitioning DoDAAC funding the contract is entered.

D. Contract Administration Office

This is a six-character field denoting the DoDAAC of the Contract Administration 

Office that wrote the contract (the procurement authority).

E. Commercial and Government Entity Code

The Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code is a five-character field 

provided to enter CAGE code of the contractor (or government activity, if applicable). All 

contractors must have a valid CAGE registered in the Central Contract Registration (CCR) in order 

to acquire a DoDAAC.

060316. Point of Contact Information

The DoDAAC provides three mandatory data fields for POC information:

A. POC

This is a 30-character field used to provide the rank/title/name of the unit/activity 

POC for the DoDAAC. DoDAACs with an authority code of “00,” must have the appointed APO / 

supply officer listed as the POC for that respective DoDAAC in the DoDAAD.

B. E-mail

This is a 40-character field used to provide the e-mail address of the unit/activity 

POC for the DoDAAC.

C. Phone

This is a 21-character field used to provide the telephone number for the unit/activity 

POC for the DoDAAC. Note: the system only recognizes 10-digit phone number configurations.

060317. CSP Managed Fields

The following additional fields are part of a DoDAAC’s pedigree that is managed by the 

CSP:

A. Accounting Disbursing Station Number/Fiscal Station Number

This six-character code identifies the service payment office. This field is not 

validated within the DoDAAD; it is service-defined and service-dependent. The Army and Air Force 

set a five-digit numeric code; the Navy and Marine Corps mostly use a DoDAAC; DLA and other 

agencies use a mix of numeric codes and DoDAACs. For the Marine Corps, 067443 is used for all 

DoDAACs except for MARCORLOGCOM DoDAACs that use Navy Working Capital Fund, in 

which case 067004 is used. The DoDAAD is the ADS for this information.

B. Free Form

One-character field used to denote free form used.

C. Notes

Four-thousand-character, free-form field for CSP notes. Only the CSP has visibility 

of this field.

060218. Classified Addresses

Classified addresses have distinct open issues for which the guidance published in the DLMS 

order, reference (g) applies.

CHAPTER 7

ROUTING IDENTIFIER CODE CHARACTERISTICS AND DATA

0701 ROUTING IDENTIFIER CODES

A RIC is a three-digit, alpha-numeric code that uniquely identifies a unit, activity, or organization 

that requires the ability to route transactions or receive transactions routed to it (e.g., source of 

supply) within logistics and financial business systems within DLMS and DLSS. The first position 

designates the particular service/agency element of ownership. An alpha character in the first 

position indicates DoD, and a numeric character in the first position indicates non-DoD. The 

remaining two positions are assigned by each service’s CSP.

0702 PURPOSE

RICs serve multiple purposes in that they are supply source codes, intersystem routing codes, and 

consignor (shipper) codes. RICs are three-character codes associated with a DoDAAC and a unique 

seven-character COMMRI for routing purposes. There may be more than one RIC associated with a 

single DoDAAC; however, each individual RIC may be associated with only one DoDAAC. RICs 

are entered into the DoDAAD with a three-character prefix “ZZZ.” RICS are discussed in Appendix 

2.03 of reference (f).

0703 RIC DATA FIELDS

While the RIC itself is a three-digit, alpha-numeric identifier, this identifier represents a series of 24 

data fields which comprise its pedigree characteristics. The DoDAAD is the ADS for most of these 

data elements and/or their association to an activity. Since activities within DoD information 

systems use this data to conduct business with the unit represented by the RIC, it is critical that the 

data fields are properly identified when a new RIC is created. It is equally vital that this information 

be kept current on an as-occurring basis by units who already have a RIC. Including the RIC as a 

data field, there are 24 fields currently in use by the Marine Corps. The following are the data fields 

which comprise a Marine Corps RIC’s pedigree (see also Appendix F of this Volume):

070301. RIC DoDAAC

Every RIC must be associated to a DoDAAC. Since a RIC only has one Type of Address 

Code (TAC), the TAC of the RIC will always be the same as the TAC 1 of the DoDAAC to which it 

is associated. Every other data element of the RIC will also be the same as the DoDAAC to which 

the RIC is associated (i.e., MAJCOM code, status COMMRI, etc.).

070302. Major Command Code

Just as with DoDAACs, every RIC has a MAJCOM code which will be the same as that of 

the RIC’s DoDAAC.

 13 JUN 2016

7-3

070303. Creation Date

This date appears in the system to capture the date that the RIC was created.

070304. Data Pattern or Status COMMRI

DP COMMRIs are associated to RICs and DoDAACs by DLA TS. They are used for the 

transmission of transactional data submitted against the RIC/DoDAAC. The DoDAAD is the ADS 

for the association of this data element to a RIC/DoDAAC/activity.

070305. Combatant Commander

This is a 10-character field that denotes the COCOM to which the unit is attached (i.e., 

NORTHCOM, etc.). This field is system-generated.

070306. Last Update

This date represents the date that any data field of the RIC was last changed/updated by the 

CSP.

070307. TAC 1

Referred to as owner information, the TAC 1 identifies the mailing address of the owner, and 

correlates to the POC information contained for the DoDAAC. DC M&RA establishes policy for

proper mailing addresses of all Marine Corps activities per reference (n). Units requiring changes to 

their TAC 1, or who require new addresses for deployed contingencies should notify their postal 

officer to obtain the valid mailing address. This information should then be submitted for inclusion 

in the DoDAAC. The DoDAAD is the ADS for the association of this address information to a unit 

for logistics and financial systems. Each requisitioning activity must have a TAC 1 address with a 

TAC 2 and TAC 3. Additionally, the TAC 1 shall be used for CONUS freight shipments if no TAC 2 

is listed. The TAC 1 of a RIC will always be the same as its corresponding DoDAAC. TAC 1 

address information fields are as follows:

A. Line 1

Thirty-five-character field, first line of the mailing address of the unit, activity, or 

organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD logistics system. 

Authorized conventions for TAC 1 Line 1 are: COMMANDANT, COMMANDER, 

COMMANDING GENERAL, COMMANDING OFFICER, DIRECTOR, INSPECTORINSTRUCTOR, or OFFICER IN CHARGE.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 7 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

7-4

B. Line 2

Thirty-five-character field, the second line of the mailing address of the unit, activity, 

or organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD logistics system. This is 

usually an abbreviated form of the unit’s name. Examples include: 7TH ENGRSPTBN, 3RD 

DENBN, 2ND ANGLICO, 1ST CBT ENGRSPTBN, II MHG, etc.

C. Line 3

Thirty-five-character field, the third line of the mailing address of the unit, activity, or 

organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD logistics system (normally 

the street address). Examples include: PSC 2017, PO BOX 15320, 3D STREET MCAS, 1401 

VANDEGRIFT BLVD MCB, etc. Note: it may also include building number, but should at least 

include either a PO or Street address.

D. Line 4

Thirty-five-character field, the fourth line of the mailing address of the unit, activity, 

or organization that is authorized to order/requisition material from the DoD logistics system. The 

fourth line is generally created by the system by virtue of data entered for City, State, and ZIP fields.

E. Line 5

Thirty-five-character field, the fifth line of the mailing address of the unit, reserved 

solely for the country name associated with the ISO 3166-1 country code and automatically created 

for the MSL by the other data elements of the TAC. The MSL supports five lines, and the USPS 

requires the country name to be spelled out in English on the last line of the address.

F. City of TAC 1 mailing address

City of mailing address.

G. State of TAC 1 mailing address

This is a two-position alpha code of the state in the mailing address. If the address is 

outside of the United States it will be null.

H. ZIP Code of TAC 1 mailing address

United States parcel postal code of the mailing address, expressed as either a fiveposition code or ten-position with a hyphen after the fifth position.

I. Two-digit International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Country 

Code.

This code is assigned by ISO and is the most widely accepted of the different country 

code standards maintained within the DoDAAD.

J. Three-digit ISO Country Code

This code is assigned by ISO.

K. International Postal Code

There are two postal code fields in the DoDAAC. The ZIP Code is used exclusively 

for United States Postal codes. The IPC ZIP is used for all other countries. Postal code data for nonUS countries can be obtained by contacting the country's post office directly.

L. Effective Date

In Julian format (yyyyddd), the date upon which the address became effective.

M. Delete Date

In Julian format (yyyyddd), the date upon which the address was deleted. After this 

date this address is no longer valid. NOTE: If a DoDAAC is deleted that also has a RIC associated to 

it, the CSP will also delete the associated RIC.

N. MILSTRIP Country Code

This is a two-character MILSTRIP country code. The code is assigned by DoD and is 

published in reference (f).

O. Foreign Military Sales Country Code

This is a two-character FMS country code. The code is assigned by DoD and is 

published in reference (f).

070308. Central Service Point-Managed Fields

The following additional fields are part of a RIC’s pedigree and are managed by the CSP:

A. Free Form

One-character field used to denote free form used.

B. Notes

4,000-character, free form field for CSP notes. Only the CSP has visibility of this 

field.

CHAPTER 8

DODAACS AND UICS

0801 GENERAL

Since the relationship between DoDAACs and UICs in the Marine Corps can be complex, the 

following information is provided specifically to address the use of and interrelationship between 

these two identifiers. Unlike a UIC, a DoDAAC is used to enable a business process on behalf of an 

organization within logistics, financial, acquisition, and services systems that are part of, linked to, or 

use the data constructs of DLMS, DLSS, and/or MILS portfolio of systems (i.e., MILSTRIP 

MILSTRAP, Military Standard Billing System (MILSBILLS), etc.). The DoDAAC is the DoD 

business standard used to identify an activity within these systems.

0802 AUTHORITY

Since a DoDAAC is used to enable a business process, it is tied to the authority behind that business 

process and the laws, statutes, and regulations which govern the business process, to include how 

resources (i.e., appropriations, property, and materiel) associated to the DoDAAC are utilized and 

managed per reference (b), (d), (l), (m), (o) and (r). Appendix A of this Volume outlines the 

DoDAAC’s relationship to a commander’s authority.

0803 DODAAC USES

All Marine Corps approved APSRs will align and account for equipment and materiel at the 

accountable officer’s/commander’s DoDAAC level. A UIC or RUC will not be used for 

accountability of resources. The following interrelationships of DoDAACs and UICs are provided. 

See also Appendix I of this Volume.

080301. Financial

A financial UIC is a five-digit code created by DFAS on behalf of the DON. Whenever a 

Marine Corps activity has a business process that ties back to a Navy system, that activity must be 

registered in the Navy’s system(s) via a financial UIC and a DoDAAC. The following guidance is 

provided:

A. Bureau Control Number

Every MRI, ARI, and SRI in SABRS is a BCN, and is registered as a UIC in the 

DFAS UIC list. When the Marine Corps requires a new BCN for a command, a request will be 

forwarded to the DC I&L, (LPC) via DC P&R (RFA). The request will identify the code required 

and its intended relationship within SABRS hierarchy (i.e., MRI/ARI/SRI). See figure 8-1. DC I&L 

(LPC) will submit a Navy UIC/DoDAAC Request to DFAS (via e-mail to 

UIC/DoDAAC@DFAS.MIL) (see Appendix G of this Volume). DFAS will process the request and 

provide a notification back to DC I&L (LPC) (via e-mail to USMCDoDAACMGR@USMC.MIL) of 

the new UIC/BCN. The CSP manager at DC I&L will then create an “M”-series DoDAAC utilizing 

the BCN/SRI and assign it authority code 05. Once created, DC I&L (LPC) will then notify DC, 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Volume 2, Chapter 8 MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

8-3

P&R (RFA) (via e-mail to SABRSTABLESANDACCESS@USMC.MIL) of the new DoDAAC to 

be used as the new BCN/SRI (or MRI/ARI as necessary) within SABRS. DC I&L (LPC) will also 

notify the requestor and all other stakeholders impacted by the new DoDAAC. Every MRI/ARI/SRI 

will be assigned authority code 00. MRIs, ARIs, and SRIs can all be the same DoDAAC. See figure 

8-1 and Appendix A of this Volume.

B. Work Center Identifier

Whenever a DoDAAC is required for use as a WCI within SABRS, a request will be 

forwarded to the CSP at DC I&L (LPC), via DC P&R (RFA), to approve and create the DoDAAC 

using authority code 02. Once created, DC I&L (LPC) will notify DC P&R (RFA) as noted above. 

WCIs cannot be the same as an MRI/ARI/SRI or AAC. See also figure 8-1 below and Appendix A 

of this Volume.

C. Activity Address Code (Requisitioning DoDAAC)

All requests for requisitioning DoDAACs will be submitted in accordance with 

chapters 4 and 5 of this Volume. All requests will identify the proper SABRS hierarchy for the new 

DoDAAC. An AAC cannot also be an MRI/ARI/SRI/WCI. See also figure 8-1 below and Appendix 

A of this Volume.

Figure 8-1. SABRS Table 208 Extract

D. Navy DoDAAC

Since all Navy DoDAACs are also Navy (financial) UICs, whenever a Marine Corps 

activity requires a Navy DoDAAC (e.g., aviation units), the procedures for a BCN/SRI above will be 

followed, except the Navy UIC/DoDAAC request will identify that both a UIC and DoDAAC are 

required. Once the UIC is created, DFAS will also then create a Navy DoDAAC and both will be 

identified back to DC I&L (LPC) who will then notify the requestor and other stakeholders impacted 

by the new UIC/DoDAAC.

080302. Total Force Structure Management System

In TFSMS, a UIC is used to identify requirements for personnel structure and equipment for 

permanent organizations established by a Marine Corps Bulletin 5400 (MCBul 5400). Within 

Marine Corps APSRs, DoDAACs are used to identify equipment sets that fill the T/E requirements 

of an activity’s UIC. As such, every DoDAAC will be assigned to a UIC. The relationship between 

a TFSMS UIC and DoDAAC is one of “requirements” to “resources.” In systems that consume both 

the TFSMS UIC and DoDAAC (e.g., GCSS-MC), the relationship can be likened to “owner” and 

“assets.” The reason for this is because of how the DoDAAC is consumed by TFSMS. Within 

TFSMS, a DoDAAC is used to identify the property account ID that satisfies the requirements 

represented by the T/E of a UIC. Figure 8-2 illustrates this relationship between UIC and property 

account ID. It should be noted that DoDAACs are not only used as property account IDs in TFSMS.

Some UICs in TFSMS do not have a T/E (e.g., Reserve I&I) but have a registered DoDAAC used as 

a “Ship To Only” DoDAAC that contains TAC 1 through TAC 4 mail/shipping information for the 

organization.

A. Wartime (Core) Mission

Maintaining the relationship between UIC and property account ID (DoDAAC) 

within TFSMS is the product of the DoDAAC update process. This relationship principally 

identifies the unit’s core mission equipment requirements and the property account (DoDAAC) that 

satisfies these requirements. A unit’s core mission structure is the TO&E resident in TFSMS. The 

DoDAAD is the ADS for the relationship between the UICs and DoDAACs. Per this guidance, all 

other systems shall consume this data directly from DoDAAF to ensure data integrity across the 

enterprise.

B. Assigned Mission/Deployments

Whenever a DoDAAC is required to enable business processes or account for 

equipment requirements in support of a task organization or unit executing an assigned mission 

different from their wartime (core) mission, the unit will either maintain the same DoDAAC, request 

an exercise DoDAAC, or request a contingency DoDAAC via the appropriate chain of command 

(MSC or MEF DoDAAC Monitor). Chapter 5 of this Volume provides detailed procedures for 

DoDAAC/UIC establishment and alignment in support of training exercises, contingencies, or unit 

rotations.

080303. Defense Readiness Reporting System – Marine Corps

A. Permanent units established by a MCBul 5400 and designated to report 

readiness in DRRS-MC will use a TFSMS-assigned UIC to capture the readiness of its wartime 

(core) mission requirements.

B. Provisional units (not resident in TFSMS), designated to report readiness in 

DRRS-MC will use a DC PP&O POR UIC. These units will use a manning document and EDL to 

capture the readiness of resources. DC PP&O POR shall notify DC I&L LP of the UIC; and DC I&L 

(LPC) will associate the deployment DoDAAC to this UIC in the DoDAAD.

APPENDIX A

APPROPRIATIONS, FUNDS, AND ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION

1. Appropriations and Funds

To properly understand appropriation accounting, it is necessary to understand the difference 

between appropriations and funds.

a. Appropriations

An appropriation is an authorization by Congress to incur obligations for specified purposes 

and to make payments therefor from the Treasury. Simply stated, an appropriation is the result of an 

act of Congress to provide the funding authority for the Navy to accomplish specific functions or 

missions.

(1) Types of Appropriation Acts

To establish or amend an appropriation, Congress can pass three different types of 

appropriation acts: (1) regular, (2) supplemental, and (3) deficiency.

(a) Regular Appropriation Act

A regular appropriation act is the first appropriation act passed by Congress 

for a specific purpose for a particular fiscal year.

(b) Supplemental Appropriation Act

A supplemental appropriation act changes the monetary limitation, the 

purpose, or both, of an appropriation that is still available for obligation or for payment of existing 

obligations. A supplemental appropriation act may also be used to establish an appropriation that 

was not included in the regular appropriation act.

(c) Deficiency Appropriation Act

A deficiency appropriation act allows Congress to change the monetary 

limitation of a particular appropriation to permit the liquidation of known or anticipated obligations 

when the sums appropriated in the regular appropriation act are not sufficient to meet these 

obligations. Just as there are different acts by which appropriations can be established or amended, 

there are also different types of appropriations.

(2) Types of Appropriations

Although there are several types of appropriations, each type is designated by its own 

special term. The status of the appropriation is the determining factor. In the explanation of the

following terms, notice how the status of the specific appropriation figures strongly in the definition 

of each term and actually establishes basic conditions under which the Navy must use that particular 

appropriation.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix A MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

A-3

(a) Annual Appropriation

An annual appropriation is available for the incurring of obligations only in 

the fiscal year specified in the appropriation act. An annual appropriation is also referred to as a oneyear appropriation.

(b) Multiple-year Appropriation

A multiple-year appropriation is available for the incurring of obligations for 

a definite period of time, but the period of time must exceed one fiscal year.

(c) Continuing Appropriation

A continuing appropriation is available for the incurring of obligations until

the appropriation is exhausted or until the purpose for which the appropriation was made is

accomplished. Also referred to as a no-year appropriation, a continuing appropriation has no fixed 

period of time.

(d) Current Appropriation

A current appropriation is available for the incurring of obligations only 

during the current fiscal year. This is also called an unexpired appropriation.

(e) Expired Appropriation

An expired appropriation is one that is no longer available for additional 

obligations, but it is still available for two years from the date of expiration for liquidation of any 

existing obligations.

(f) Definite Appropriation

A definite appropriation has the amount stated in the appropriation act as a 

specified sum of money.

(g) Indefinite Appropriation

An indefinite appropriation is one that does not have a specific amount stated 

in the appropriation act. Instead, the specific amount is determined at some future date from 

the sources specified in the appropriation act.

(h) Lapsed Appropriation

A lapsed appropriation is one that has an undisbursed balance, but by law is

not available for disbursement.

Appendix A MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

A-4

(3) Types of Appropriation Accounts

Once an appropriation is passed, an appropriation account is established to make

amounts available for expenditure and obligation from the Treasury. Appropriation accounts include 

not only accounts to which money is directly appropriated, but also revolving funds, working funds,

and trust funds. (These funds will be discussed later.) There are three types of appropriation 

accounts: (1) open, (2) closed, and (3) successor.

(a) Open Appropriation Account

An open appropriation account is an account that has not had the balance 

transferred to a successor account or to surplus. The appropriation in the account may be expired or 

unexpired.

(b) Closed Appropriation Account

A closed appropriation account is an account that has had the balance 

transferred to a successor account or to surplus. The appropriation in the account is lapsed.

(c) Successor Account

A successor account is an account established for the payment of obligations 

applicable to appropriations for the same general purposes, but which have either lapsed or been 

discontinued. A successor account is available indefinitely for the payment of obligations chargeable 

to any of its predecessor accounts.

b. Funds

A fund, as used in connection with appropriations, is a sum of money or other resources, 

usually segregated, to be expended or used for specified purposes. Funds differ from appropriations 

in that they are usually permanent in nature and do not expire unless they are revoked by Congress.

Three types of funds are commonly used by the Navy: (1) general, (2) trust, and (3) revolving.

(1) General Fund

The general fund of the Treasury is the fund into which all receipts of the United

States Government are deposited, except for those from specific sources required by law to be 

deposited into other designated finds. Appropriations from the general fund are made by Congress to

carry on the general and ordinary operations of the government.

(2) Trust Fund

A trust fund is used to deposit amounts received or appropriated and held in trust

according to an agreement or a legislative act. These amounts may only be used or expended 

according to the terms of the trust or act. An example of a trust fund is Ship’s Stores Profits, Navy. 

Profits from the ship’s store are held in this account and may only be used for authorized expenses of 

the ship’s store and the welfare and recreation of Navy personnel.

(3) Revolving Fund

A revolving fund is established to finance a cycle of operations to which 

reimbursements and collections are returned for reuse in such a manner as to maintain the principal 

of the fund. The amount of the fund may be in the form of cash, inventory, receivables, or other 

assets. An example of a revolving fund is the Navy Stock Fund, which is used to purchase and 

maintain stocks of common supply items required for the support and operation of the Navy.

2. Accounting Classification Code

In the Navy’s financial management system, the accounting classification code provides a uniform 

system for accumulating and reporting a variety of accounting information. This code is shown on

all purchase requests as well as the resulting obligation and expenditure documents. The accounting 

classification code identifies the activity responsible for accounting for the associated appropriation 

(or part of the appropriation). It also assists in the forwarding of copies of public voucher 

disbursements and elections to the accountable activity for analysis of obligations and expenditures. 

The detail required in a particular accounting classification code may vary, depending on the 

appropriation and type of transaction involved. An example of an accounting classification code that 

contains the maximum number of elements is shown in figure A-1. The figure also illustrates the 

order in which the accounting data should be entered on the required documents. The following 

sections will explain the significance of each of these elements and the order in which they should be 

used. The position and significance of the alphanumeric characters in each element will also be 

discussed.

a. Appropriation or Fund

In every accounting classification code, the first element represents the appropriation or fund.

(Refer to number 1 on the left side of figure A-1. This represents the first element in the accounting

classification code used as the example.) The appropriation or fund indicates the legal source of each

transaction. In most cases, the appropriation code will consist of only seven alphanumeric 

characters. It may; however, contain up to nine characters, depending on the reporting requirements.

The first two digits in the example are 1 and 7, or 17, which represents the Department of the Navy.

The third digit, 8, is the last digit of the fiscal year for that particular annual appropriation. If the 

letter “X” is used in the third position instead of a number, then the appropriation is a continuing 

appropriation. If the letter “M” is used in the third position, then the appropriation is a successor 

appropriation. The next four digits (1453) indicate the type of appropriation. In the case of a fund, 

these four digits would indicate the type of appropriation and the particular type of fund used within 

that appropriation.

 13 JUN 2016

A-6

b. Subhead

The second element of the accounting code (indicated as number 2 on the left side of the 

figure) is the subhead. This element identifies the charges (or credits) to the appropriation or fund 

(indicated in element 1) for the particular transaction. The subhead consists of four characters. The 

first two characters identify the administering office. The last two characters identify the purpose of 

the subhead. For example, the subhead 2201 in figure A-1 identifies the administering office, 22, as 

the Bureau of Naval Personnel and the purpose, 01, as pay and allowances of officer personnel.

c. Object Class

The object class is the third element in the accounting classification code. (Refer to number 

3 in figure A-1.) It consists of three digits. The object class designates the nature of the services, 

articles, or other items involved, as distinguished from the purpose for which obligations were 

incurred. There are four major categories of object classes:

(1) personal services and benefits

(2) contractual services and supplies

(3) acquisition of capital assets

(4) grants and fixed charges.

Figure A-1. The accounting classification code.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directs the use of these classifications 

whenever the object class is required in the submitting of budget requests and reporting of data. The 

object class will appear as part of the accounting code required for obligations, costs, or 

disbursements.

A-7

d. Bureau Control Number

The fourth element in the accounting classification code is the BCN. As shown in figure A-1 

(number 4), the BCN consists of five digits and represents the allotment authorization number. All 

funds within an appropriation account to be used for commitments, obligations, and expenditures are 

issued through allotments. An allotment is a subdivision of the appropriation that provides the 

funding authority for the accomplishment of a specific function or mission. The first two digits of 

the BCN designate the budget project; the next three digits constitute the serial number assigned to 

the allotment. In some cases, funds are not provided by an allotment. In these cases, the BCN is 

coded to identify other necessary accounting information.

e. Sub allotment

The sub allotment is the fifth element of the accounting classification code. (Refer to number 

5 in figure A-1.) It further subdivides the allotment. The suballotment consists of one character that 

can be either alpha or numeric, as determined by the holder of the allotment.

f. Authorization Accounting Activity

As shown in figure A-1, the authorization accounting activity is the sixth element of the 

accounting classification code. It is composed of six digits and identities the activity designated to 

perform allotment accounting and other accounting assignments. For this element, the UIC of the 

designated accounting activity is used. Since financial UICs only contain five digits, a zero prefix is 

added to make six digits. Notice that in the accounting data presented in figure A-1, the 

authorization accounting activity is not required. In cases such as these, six zeroes are used to fill the 

field.

g. Transaction Type

The seventh element represents the transaction type. Because most Navy accounting 

transactions are performed by machine, use of the two-digit alphanumeric transaction code allows for 

machine identification of the following categories:

(1) Stores account purchases

(2) Plant property account purchases

(3) Other special suspense-type accounts

(4) Formal and other special obligation accounting

(5) Successor appropriations

(6) Register and listing identification

(7) Other transactions of special interest

In some cases, the functional account number (FAN) may serve the same purpose as the transaction 

type code.

Appendix A MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

A-8

h. Property Accounting Activity

The eighth element consists of the property accounting activity. As shown in figure A-1, this 

element consists of six digits. This six-digit element; however, can be constructed in several 

different ways, depending on the purpose of the expenditure. When the transaction code indicates a 

purchase for a stores account, the UIC of the activity designated to take the property into the stores 

account must be used. If the transaction code designates the purchase of plant property, the 

DoDAAC of the activity for which the plant property was purchased must be used.

i. Cost Code

The final element of the nine accounting classification code elements is the cost code. It is 

made up of 12 alphanumeric characters. The cost code provides additional information that may be 

needed for the preparation of detailed reports. The cost code is also used in reports that require 

shortened coding. The construction of the cost code is determined by the authorization accounting 

activity. Some items that often appear in cost codes are job order numbers, fund codes, FANs, and 

UICs.

3. Additional Accounting Components

The basic accounting classification code is made up of the nine elements discussed. In addition to 

the nine basic elements, there are other aspects or components of appropriation accounting 

classification code data. These important data items include allotments, FANs, UICs, and all 

financial transactions involving the international balance of payments (BOP).

a. Allotments

In the DON, an allotment is defined as an authorization granted, within and pursuant to an 

allocation or sub-allocation, to an office, command, activity, or component of the operating forces for 

the purpose of incurring commitments, obligations, and expenditures within a specified amount 

pursuant to the purpose for which the allotment was granted and according to instructions issued by 

the administering office. Simply stated, an allotment is a means by which available funds within an

appropriation can be authorized, issued, and administered to the Navy so that they can be used to 

meet the financial obligations to support a specific function or mission. The granting of an allotment 

automatically reduces the available balance of the specific appropriation, but does not constitute a 

specific financial commitment or obligation on the part of Congress. Instead, the holder of the 

allotment becomes the authorized agent who may create commitments, obligations, and expenditures 

against the appropriation within the scope of the granted allotment. There are generally two types of 

allotments used in disbursing transactions: (1) regular and (2) centrally managed. They differ only

in their individual limitations and accountability requirements.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix A MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

A-9

(1) Regular Allotments

A regular allotment provides the normal operating budget for a command or activity. 

It is granted quarterly and is used for an activity’s day-to-day operations. The commanding officer 

of the activity must closely monitor these funds to make certain they last through the entire quarter 

and their proper use and accountability can be readily demonstrated to the granting authority.

(2) Centrally Managed Allotments

A centrally managed allotment (CMA) is a formal administrative subdivision of 

funds (allocation or allotment) that is managed at the highest practical level and allows officials at a 

lower echelon to charge obligations or expenditures to the CMA for authorized purposes without 

further determination or certification of fund availability for individual transactions. Fund balances 

at the allocation/allotment level are subject to the provisions of reference (b). The same management 

internal control requirements apply for centrally-managed allotments as for regular allotments.

b. Functional Account Numbers

FANs classify transactions according to the use for which the transactions were made. They 

are used as reference numbers to determine the content of certain accounts used in various reports. 

The FANs themselves will often not be evident in the accounting classification code, but will appear 

as part of the cost code. In some cases, the FAN will be used in some other element, such as the 

BCN in permanent-change-of-station travel accounting data.

c. Unit Identification Codes

The UIC is a five-digit number that identifies an entity in the DON or DoD. Every command 

has a UIC. In fact, UICs are also assigned to civilian contractors and others who do business with 

DoD. Besides being used in the accounting classification code, UICs also appear in the Paid By 

section of public vouchers to aid in the identification of the disbursing officer of the agency making 

payments. UICs are also used in the Joint Uniform Military Pay System for such things as the 

distribution of leave and earnings statements and identification of the responsible paying offices for 

pay and allowances.

d. International Balance of Payments

The identification of financial transactions involving other countries is important to the 

United States Government. The economic well-being of the United States is directly influenced by 

the international BOP. The Comptroller of the Navy is responsible for coordinating and developing 

policies and procedures regarding foreign currency exchanges and other international financial 

transactions involving the Department of the Navy. The comptroller establishes procedures for the 

use of foreign currency in those countries in which the United States has Status of Forces 

Agreements, NATO Agreements, or Base Rights Agreements. Favored nation exchange rates for 

official transactions and for accommodation exchanges for United States personnel are sought by the 

comptroller as well. Any transaction that affects the international BOP must carry a two-character 

alpha code identifying the country involved in the transaction. An example is “CA” for Canada. 

Reference (c), contains the assigned country codes and the rules for applying them. As well as the 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

A-10

required country codes, you must also be aware of any applicable expenditure or collection category 

codes. In fact, any voucher that requires a country code must also have either a three-digit 

expenditure category code for disbursements or a two-digit source code for collections. These codes 

apply to transactions affecting disbursements and collections involving any appropriation, including 

all general, revolving, deposit, special, or trust funds, as well as any general fund receipt accounts 

established by the Treasury Department for collection or miscellaneous receipts.

DOCUMENT NUMBERS

1. Standard Document Number (SDN)

The SDN is a 15-position document number used for all non-Interdepartmental Billing (IDB) 

requisitions. The example below shows the breakdown of an SDN:

9-10 Document Type Code (DTC) identifies the type of request being created to obtain

goods or services.

11-15 5-digit Serial Number (See definition below.).

NOTE: The serial number is locally assigned to distinguish individual source documents. The serial 

number may be created using both alpha and numeric characters. Serial numbers assigned when 

creating SDNs cannot be repeated during the fiscal year for the same DoDAAC and Document Type 

Code. Resource managers will provide guidance on assigning SDN’s, to include specific guidance 

on serial number assignments made by a fund manager. Further, resource managers will provide 

guidance on creating a document number log (i.e., spreadsheet, database, log book, etc.) to assist 

fund managers in maintaining control over the assignment of SDNs during the fiscal year to ensure 

SDNs are not assigned to more than one source document.

2. MILSTRIP Document Number

The 14-position MILSTRIP document number is assigned to requisitions processed through a 

government source of supply and for open purchase requisitions. The example below shows the 

breakdown of a MILSTRIP document number:

31 December except for leap year).

3. Procurement Instrument Identification Number (PIIN)

a. Per Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), the PIIN shall be used to identify all 

procurement documents (purchase orders, delivery orders, requests for quotation, etc.). The PIIN 

shall be used in its entirety by all Marine Corps contracting offices, purchasing offices, and 

commissaries. The construct of a PIIN includes use of a DoDAAC. The PIIN is a 13-position 

document number used by contract issuing activities to identify procurement actions. The PIIN is the 

proper document number to cite when recording obligations applicable to contracts. The 

Supplementary Procurement Instrument Identification (SPIIN) is a four-position document number 

and is the call or order number used for Blanket Purchase Agreements, Indefinite Delivery Contracts,

and Basic Ordering Agreements.

b. Construction

The basic PIIN shall be retained for the life of the particular instrument and shall consist of 

13 alpha-numeric characters. Major elements of the PIIN shall be separated by dashes. The example

DODAAC AUTHORITY CODES

1. Authority Code

The authority code is a two-digit code used to restrict requisitioning, shipment, and billing by 

DoDAAC. In March 2007, the DLMSO published an Approved DLMS Change to implement 

authority codes for DoDAACs, per reference (s). Reference (s) established these codes on behalf of

OSD in order to restrict requisitioning, shipment, and billing by DoDAAC. This ADC further 

revised DLMS, MILSTRIP and MILSBILLS to identify DoDAAC authorities for requisitioning, 

shipment and billing, and to provide for DLA TS and source of supply rejection under DLMS, 

MILSTRIP and MILSBILLS of requisitions or bills, as appropriate. These authority codes are 

applicable to all service components of the DoD. Accordingly, there are eight authority codes which 

may be assigned to a DoDAAC. They are as follows:

Figure D-1. DoDAAC Authority Codes

2. Internal USMC Business Rules

As the Marine Corps implements authority codes, application of these codes to our systems must be 

closely managed in order to meet the intent of these codes as prescribed by OSD. Accordingly, the 

following business rules apply for Marine Corps use of DoDAAC authority codes:

a. Authority Code 00 – Full or Requisition Authority

Authority Code 00, the most controversial of authority codes, designates full authority which 

is also referred to as requisition authority. Requisition authority is that authority vested in someone 

to obligate appropriations. Before the advent of a mechanized supply system (i.e., SASSY), 

expenditure of appropriated dollars started with the creation of a document number in a log book 

usually maintained by a supply officer. That document number had unit identification and financial 

information associated to it that enabled the obligation of appropriated dollars. The owner of that 

document number was accountable and liable for the obligation of appropriated dollars created by the 

processing of that document number. The authority to create this obligation is requisition authority. 

Requisition authority is defined by existing statute and policy, per reference (m) as follows:

(1) United States Code

Title 31 is the foundation in defining requisition authority, as it legally requires that 

there be traceability (and liability) to an individual for the over-obligation of appropriated funds as a 

violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act. Specifically, the following sections apply:

(a) Section 1301

Appropriations shall be used only for the purpose for which the 

appropriations were made, except as otherwise provided by law.

(b) Section 1341

An officer may not make or authorize an expenditure or obligation exceeding 

an amount available in an appropriation or fund for the expenditure or obligation.

(c) Section 1349

An officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of 

Columbia government violating section 1341 (a) or 1342 of this title shall be subject to appropriate 

administrative discipline including, when circumstances warrant, suspension from duty without pay 

or removal from office.

(d) Section 1350

An officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of 

Columbia government who knowingly and willfully violates section 1341 (a) or 1342 of this Title 

shall be fined not more than $5,000, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix D MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

D-4

(e) Section 1511

An appropriation means appropriated amounts, funds, and authority to make 

obligations by contract before appropriations.

(f) Section 1514

The official having administrative control of an appropriation shall prescribe 

a system of administrative control which can restrict obligations or expenditures from each 

appropriation to the amount of apportionments or reapportionments of the appropriation, and enable 

the official to fix responsibility for an obligation or expenditure exceeding an apportionment or 

reapportionment. The system shall also be able to administratively divide appropriations with the 

objective of financing each operating unit, at the highest practical level, from not more than one 

administrative division for each appropriation affecting the unit.

(g) Section 1517

An officer shall not make or authorize an expenditure, or obligation 

exceeding an apportionment; or the amount otherwise permitted by regulations.

(h) Section 1518

An officer violating section 1517 shall be subject to appropriate 

administrative discipline including, when circumstances warrant, suspension from duty without pay 

or removal from office.

(i) Section 1519

An officer who knowingly and willfully violates section 1517 of this Title 

shall be fined not more than $5,000, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both.

(2) The Marine Corps Manual

Per reference (m) , CMC appoints subordinate commanders to execute the mission of 

the Marine Corps. Inherent in this appointment is the authority to carry out a number of 

responsibilities. The Marine Corps Manual provides the following guidance as it relates to 

commanders and their responsibilities.

(a) Commander

One who is properly appointed to command an organization, or who under 

applicable provisions of law, regulations, or orders, succeeds to such command due to transfer, 

incapacity, death, or absence of the previous Commanding Officer (CO). Marine Corps commanders 

are titled as Commandant, Commander, Commanding General, CO, Director, and InspectorInstructor. Other titles used to designate Marine Corps commanders shall be made only with the 

specific approval of the CMC. The titles Officer in Charge (OIC) or Noncommissioned Officer in 

Charge do not normally denote a commander; however, in specific instances, superiors in the chain

of command may delegate command authority to OICs or Noncommissioned 

Officers in Charge to the extent required for them to carry out their assigned tasks.

(b) The management of finances is inherent to command.

(c) The commander is responsible for the administration of all authorizations 

of funds formally granted through an operating budget or allotment. This responsibility cannot be 

delegated in whole or part within the command. Accordingly, COs are personally responsible for 

any act of their own, or an act of a subordinate, which causes an over-commitment, over-obligation, 

or over-expenditure of an authorization of funds and may be subjected to the penalties as set forth in 

Chapters 13 (Appropriations) and Chapter 15 (Appropriation Accounting) formally Section 3679 

Revised Statutes and Section 665 of reference (b).

(3) Accountable Officer

Another critical criterion of requisition authority is a commander's role as an 

accountable officer as it relates to equipment accountability. A commander's role as an accountable 

officer is tied to Title 10 responsibilities relative to equipment accountability. Per reference (m), the 

criteria for an accountable officer are also tied to succession to command. The following are 

germane:

(a) United States Code (U.S.C.) Title 10

The foundation for a commander’s responsibilities relative to the 

accountability of equipment and property charged to them is found in Title 10 of U.S.C. Subtitle A, 

Part IV provides this framework in two chapters as follows.

1. Chapter 161, Section 2721

Under regulations prescribed by him, the Secretary of Defense shall 

have the records of the fixed property, installations, major equipment items, and stored supplies of 

the military departments maintained on both a quantitative and a monetary basis, so far as 

practicable. The regulations prescribed pursuant to this subsection shall include a requirement that 

the records maintained under such subsection (1) to the extent practicable, provide up-to-date 

information on all items in the inventory of DoD; (2) indicate whether the inventory of each item is 

sufficient or excessive in relation to the needs of the Department for that item; and (3) permit the 

Secretary of Defense to include in the budget submitted to Congress under section 1105 of reference 

(b) for each fiscal year, information relating to the amounts proposed for each appropriation account 

in such budget for inventory purchases of DoD, and the amounts obligated for such inventory 

purchases out of the corresponding appropriations account for the preceding fiscal year.

2. Chapter 165, Section 2788

The Secretary of a military department may prescribe regulations for 

the accounting for the property of that department and the fixing of responsibility for that property.

(b) The Marine Corps Consumer Level Supply Policy Manual

Accountability is inherent to command and the CO of a unit having a 

consumer-level supply account is accountable by virtue of acceptance of command.

(c) Succession to Command

Reference (m), Chapter 1, paragraph 1007.2 establishes the policy for 

succession to command. Not every CO, however, can be an accountable officer. Whoever lawfully 

succeeds to command must also possess the requisite legal authority necessary to discharge 

accountable officer legal responsibilities. The reference (t) states that the authority to convene 

courts-martial is independent of rank and is retained as long as the convening authority remains a 

commander in one of the designated positions (Rule 504, Convening courts-martial, and page II-48, 

MCM.) These designated positions are defined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

1. General Court-Martial

Article 22 describes the authority to convene a general court-martial 

as the CO of a division, a separate brigade, or a corresponding unit of the Marine Corps, or the CO of 

a wing of the Marine Corps.

2. Special Court-Martial

Article 23 describes the authority to convene a special court-martial 

as the CO of any Marine brigade, regiment, detached battalion, or corresponding unit; the CO of any 

Marine barracks, wing, group, separate squadron, station, base, auxiliary air field, or other place 

where members of the Marine Corps are on duty.

3. Summary Court-Martial

Article 24 describes the authority to convene a summary courtmartial. When only one commissioned officer is present with a command or detachment he shall be 

the summary court-martial of that command or detachment and shall hear and determine all summary 

court-martial cases brought before him. Summary courts-martial may, however, be convened in any 

case by superior competent authority when considered desirable by him.

4. Article 15

The lowest level of authority necessary to effectively adjudicate 

matters relative to the role of an accountable officer is tied to whoever may impose nonjudicial 

punishment. Article 15 establishes that the following persons may serve as a nonjudicial punishment 

authority for the purposes of administering nonjudicial punishment proceedings:
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix D MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

D-7

a. Commander

As provided by regulations of the Secretary concerned, a 

commander may impose nonjudicial punishment upon any military personnel of that command. 

“Commander” means a commissioned or warrant officer who, by virtue of rank and assignment, 

exercises primary command authority over a military organization or prescribed territorial area, 

which under pertinent official directives is recognized as a “command.” “Commander” includes a 

commander of a joint command. Subject to subparagraph 1d(2) of the reference (t) and any 

regulations of the Secretary concerned, the authority of a commander to impose nonjudicial 

punishment as to certain types of offenses, certain categories of persons, or in specific cases, or to 

impose certain types of punishment, may be limited or withheld by a superior commander or by the 

Secretary concerned.

b. OIC

If authorized by regulations of the Secretary concerned, an 

OIC may impose nonjudicial punishment upon enlisted persons assigned to that unit.

c. Principal Assistant

If authorized by regulations of the Secretary concerned, a 

commander exercising general court-martial jurisdiction or an officer of general or flag rank in 

command may delegate that commander’s powers under Article 15 to a principal assistant. The 

Secretary concerned may define “principal assistant.”

5. Punishments

The final piece in determining the lowest level of authority necessary 

to fulfill accountable officer responsibilities is linked to the maximum level of punishment authorized 

for nonjudicial punishment proceedings. Per reference (t), the Secretary concerned may limit the 

power granted by Article 15 with respect to the kind and amount of the punishment authorized. The 

maximum punishment that may be authorized from nonjudicial punishment proceedings is dependent 

upon both the accused and the presiding authority of the proceedings.

a. If the accused is a commissioned or warrant officer, the 

presiding authority must be a CO over the accused, or an officer exercising general court-martial 

jurisdiction, an officer of general or flag rank in command, or a principal assistant as defined in 

paragraph 2c, Part V of reference (t).

b. If the accused is any other military personnel of the 

command, the level of authority necessary to impose the broadest scope of punishment rests with 

COs of the grade of major or lieutenant commander or above, or a principal assistant as defined in 

paragraph 2c of Part V of the reference (t).

(4) Criteria

To be appointed with requisition authority, it is not enough that someone is able to 

obligate appropriations. There must also be a mechanism in place whereby the goods/services for 

which these obligations were made are tracked in a lifecycle management process (i.e., generation of 

requirement all the way through to disposal). By law, someone has to be held accountable for the 

obligation of appropriated funds (more specifically, the over-obligation of funds). Similarly, this 

person has the responsibility to physically account for the supplies and equipment that are bought 

with appropriated funds. This mission is delegated down by the CMC to COs through the issuance 

of orders and through TO&E over which someone is appointed as the accountable officer. The 

distinction on who can serve as an accountable officer hinges upon court-martial and non-judicial 

punishment authority, because the accountable officer needs to be able to adjudicate matters relative 

to any loss, damage, or theft of government property over which he/she is charged. The proper 

definition for requisition authority must include all the tenets of these statutes and regulations; 

therefore, the following criterion qualifies possession of requisition authority for a commander and 

the command/activity:

(a) The command/activity must have an authorized mission (by approved 

mission statement in the T/O) to requisition supplies, equipment, materiel, and or services.

(b) The command/activity must have an authorized mission (by approved 

mission statement in the T/O) to possess financial management capability (resources and allocated 

funds) that enable requisitioning.

(c) The command/activity must have an authorized mission (by approved 

mission statement in the T/O) to possess supply accountability capability (personnel and resources to 

account for and track supplies and equipment through its life cycle from initial request to 

retirement/disposal) for requisitions and requisitioned items.

(d) The command/activity must have requisite training staff (S-3) to 

ensure that people charged with responsibility to execute accountability are properly trained in their 

respective Training and Readiness tasks.

(e) The command/activity must have requisite logistics staff (S-4) to 

coordinate logistics business processes on behalf of the command (i.e., armory, ammunition, etc.).

(f) The person appointed to command this activity must be officially 

appointed to the office of commander by orders issued by the CMC.

(g) This person must fulfill the duties of an accountable officer for 

purposes of exercising Title 10 responsibilities relative to equipment accountability.

(h) This person must possess sufficient level of judicial authority (courtsmartial & non-judicial punishment) to adjudicate matters relative to the disposition of accountable 

supplies and equipment (field grade or above).

Appendix D MCO 4400.201-V2

D-9

(5) Definition. According to reference (b), liability and accountability for the 

obligation of apportionments (appropriated funds) must be traceable to an individual. The CMC is 

responsible for the obligation of appropriated funds provided to the Marine Corps. The Commandant 

confers this requisition authority upon COs above the company grade, as defined by reference (m), 

who may in turn delegate an appointee (e.g., supply officer) to carry out this function. Requisition 

authority is inherent to commands/activities with the T/O mission to submit and process/manage 

financial transactions to fill requirements, and to manage both the fiscal and supply responsibilities 

inherent to the full life cycle of the transactions (e.g., from creation of a request through to 

closing/retirement/disposal) and the goods/services procured by them (i.e., maintaining formal 

equipment accountability, sub custody, and requisitioning records, etc.). Commands charged with 

this mission must therefore possess the T/O supply and fiscal structure necessary to perform all of 

these functions. A supply officer or civilian equivalent with appropriate supporting supply staff are 

authorized to submit requisitions on behalf of these commands to obligate appropriated funds, unless 

stated otherwise in the most current MCBul 5400 or mission statement. The following commandlevel tasks require requisition authority, as delegated by the commander: supply operations, 

purchasing, acquisition, creation of orders for temporary additional duty (TAD), and labor (to include 

time keeping). Commands with requisition authority are assigned an authority code of “00” for their 

DoDAAC in the DoDAAD. For the purposes of this policy, requisition authority is defined as a 

DoDAAC activity whose commander has the authority and capability to commit financial obligations 

of appropriated funds (e.g., COs who have supply officers). DoDAACs with an authority code of 

“00,” must have the appointed APO/ supply officer listed as the POC for that respective DoDAAC in 

the DoDAAD.

b. Authority Code 01 – Ship-To Authority

Authority code “01” designates that the unit/activity identified by the DoDAAC is authorized 

to receive shipments only, but cannot requisition. It also implies that the activity has the requisite 

capability in trained personnel to do proper receipt and acceptance of materials shipped to it.

c. Authority Code 02 – Bill-To Authority

Authority code “02” designates that the unit/activity identified by the DoDAAC is authorized 

to be billed or to pass funding. In the Marine Corps, this authority code is used only for WCIs in 

SABRS, as identified in Figure A-2.

d. Authority Code 03 – Cannot Ship-To Authority

Authority code “03” designates that the unit/activity identified by the DoDAAC cannot 

receive shipments. This authority code is not currently used in the Marine Corps.

e. Authority Code 04 – DDS Authority

Authority code “04” designates that the unit/activity identified by the DoDAAC is authorized 

to obtain materiel from DLA Disposition Services, formerly known as DRMO. DoDAACs with

authority code “04” cannot requisition new materiel. This authority code is not currently in use by 

the Marine Corps.
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix D MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

D-10

f. Authority Code 05 – Non-requisition Authority

Authority code “05” designates that the unit/activity identified by the DoDAAC cannot

purchase any goods/services. In the Marine Corps, this authority code is used only for SRIs in 

SABRS, as identified in Figure A-2.

g. Authority Code 06 – Free Issue Authority

Authority code “06” designates that the unit/activity identified by the DoDAAC is authorized 

to requisition items that are available without any cost. This unit/activity cannot requisition/purchase 

goods and services that incur a cost to the government. Examples include maps and flight 

publications available from DLA through Account Management and Provisioning System 

(AMPS)/(Mapping Enterprise Business System) MEBS. Ammunition Supply Point (ASP) 

DoDAACs that requisition Class V(W) for resupply are assigned authority code “06,” since the 

ammunition has already been “purchased” by the Inventory Control Point (ICP) of the Marine Corps. 

These transactions, therefore, do not incur a cost.

Figure A-2. SABRS DoDAAC Authority Codes

h. Authority Code 07 – Administrative Authority

Authority code “07” designates that the unit/activity identified by the DoDAAC is purely an 

administrative record. DoDAACs with this authority code cannot perform any business processes. 

In the Marine Corps, this authority code is generally used by the CSP at DC I&L for management 

purposes usually leading to a decision to delete a DoDAAC no longer required.

APPENDIX H

ADDITIONAL CRIF GUIDANCE

1. The CRIF is the automated authoritative source for CONUS and OCONUS outbound cargo 

routing for all mobile naval units, deployed Coast Guard vessels, and aviation squadrons, including 

components of Expeditionary Strike Groups (ESG)/Amphibious Ready Groups (ARG). The CRIF 

provides shipping addresses for unit’s transportation priority (TP) codes: one, two, and three to DLA 

TS. DLA TS distributes CRIF information to government sources of supply and logistics systems to 

ensure automated processing of shipments to the correct location. The CRIF can be used for 

CONUS/OCONUS addresses, as well as ship’s addresses. Any location in the world can be loaded 

to the CRIF.

2. The CRIF allows units to synchronize delivery of resupply/sustainment with their movement, 

whether afloat or ashore, by specifying when and where it will be located during a deployment. For 

example, a MEU can have its material routed with the ship(s) it is embarked on; and a Navy Riverine 

Squadron can establish a derivative DoDAAC for a deployed unit and use the CRIF to route material 

to a particular location ashore. The pipeline established by the CRIF effectively reduces wait time by 

increasing materiel throughput velocity to deployed units.

3. Use of the CRIF enables naval expeditionary forces (supported units) to leverage the cargo 

routing capabilities of the NAVSUP LOC (supporting unit). NAVSUP LOC manages and controls 

the CRIF, which is the Navy’s single source of current shipping addresses for all Navy and deployed 

Coast Guard ships.

4. The goals of utilizing the CRIF in support of integrating with Naval Logistics are: 

a. To integrate policy, doctrine, business processes, technologies, and systems to 

optimize logistics performance in support of future operations.

b. To integrate, or make interoperable, the Naval Service’s logistics systems and 

technologies to achieve interdependency in the maritime domain; to include capabilities for 

electronically requesting, processing, and tracking material over the last tactical mile.

c. To exploit current and future inventory positioning and distribution capabilities by 

leveraging best of breed Naval Service capabilities and maintaining partnerships with DLA, U.S. 

Transportation Command, and other Services.

5. From approximately C-45 through R-10, deploying naval units shall leverage the capabilities 

of the CRIF to streamline the resupply and sustainment distribution pipeline and eliminate redundant 

handling of cargo as units move from location to location while deployed.

6. Supported units shall use the CRIF for cargo routing by ensuring their TAC-2 freight 

addresses are loaded to the CRIF prior to deployment. Supported units shall also keep the NAVSUP 

LOC informed of unit locations via Fleet Freight Routing (FFR) messages or e-mail during the 

duration of deployment. Afloat units going ashore for an extended time (e.g. > 14 days), must notify 

NAVSUP LOC via FFR if the unit desires to receive inbound shipments while ashore. The use of the
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix H MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

H-3

CRIF as a logistics multiplier contributes to a higher state of unit readiness by reducing warfighter 

wait time for resupply/sustainment.

7. Supported units embarking aboard Navy ships shall also provide their DoDAACs to the 

ship’s supply departments for inclusion in the ship's FFR messages. This will allow synchronized 

delivery of embarked units resupply with the assigned ship via replenishment at sea through a single 

naval transportation pipeline. Units operating ashore can route material to either a single static 

location or from location to location as the situation dictates.

8. Special distribution procedures are often in effect for forces engaged in large-scale/joint 

operations. Units should validate information concerning the routing of sustainment cargo through 

consolidation and CCP and shipments routed via worldwide express contracts with procedures in 

effect at the time of deployment.

9. NAVSUP LOC serves as the Navy’s Airlift Clearance Authority (ACA) responsible for 

providing clearance or challenging requests for all Navy (and Marine aviation) material airlift 

shipments originating in CONUS. Commander, Marine Corps Logistics Command is the Marine 

Corps’ ACA for Marine ground forces. Any material being shipped via air will be validated per 

Service criteria in place at the time of shipment. Most material designated for air shipment will be 

automatically validated; however, material meeting airlift clearance challenge criteria requires ACA 

validation.

a. Navy airlift clearance challenge criteria. Units have 48 working hours to respond to a 

NAVSUP LOC ACA challenge unless the shipment is pre-validated. Units may pre-validate 

requisitions for shipment by contacting the NAVSUP LOC ACA and requesting that material be preapproved for air shipment. Shipping hazardous material via air requires a longer lead time due to 

diplomatic clearance requirements, which vary by country. The following criteria apply:

> 50 cubic feet

> 500 lbs

Date of requisition > 90 days

Transportation cost > $4000

b. Marine Corps airlift clearance challenge criteria. The Marine Corps ACA will 

challenge shipments exceeding the established criteria as stated above. The ACA will send a naval 

message/email to units requesting movement with request to reply within 72 hours or shipment will 

be downgraded to surface movement. Responses must include a justification for air movement. The 

following criteria apply:

> 50 cubic feet

> 500 lbs

10. Additional Tasks 

a. Supported units shall designate an action officer for all matters pertaining to the 

CRIF.

b. Conduct liaison with internal and external organizations to ensure that the CRIF 

accurately reflects unit cargo routing requirements. Continuous communication with all parties 

involved in CRIF management is the key to success.

DoDAAC Change Requests to update their DoDAACs and the CRIF.

d. By C-15, the deploying unit will provide primary and secondary email addresses for 

the appropriate Service ACA to contact when an air shipment is being challenged.

e. Afloat naval expeditionary units will maintain continuous liaison with ESG/ARG 

ship’s supply officers to ensure that subsequent FFR messages accurately reflect unit cargo routing 

requirements. Once expeditionary unit DoDAACs have been added to the CRIF, these units will be 

tethered to the location(s) of the ships and will be included on the ESG/ARG FFR unless otherwise 

stated. If units do not want their cargo routed to the ships, appropriate information (location and 

effective dates) must be provided to the ship’s supply officers and NAVSUP LOC to ensure desired 

cargo routing. The CRIF can be used to route TP 1, TP 2, and TP 3 material to different locations. 

Also, specific DoDAACs can be tied to other ships during split ARG operations.

f. During the unit’s redeployment phase (R-30 to R-10), units will submit a NAVMC 

11718 to their MAJCOM DoDAAC monitor to resume routing cargo to the unit’s home station.

APPENDIX I

DODAAC PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS

A DoDAAC is used to enable a business process in some system. There are over 40 business 

areas within the Marine Corps, each of which encompasses multiple business processes and systems. 

See the figure below.

Figure I-1.—Marine Corps Functional Business Areas

The following are some major business processes and systems which use DoDAAC data. 

For every activity in the Marine Corps, if a mission requirement exists for the activity to perform any 

one of these business processes, the activity must have a DoDAAC to register in these systems, and 

the activity must have a commander with the appropriate capability in personnel structure to execute 

these business processes in accordance with statute regulations and policies.

3-in-1 Tool (Order, Receipt, and Payment): a technology-based solution to record and transfer data 

when conducting on-the-spot, over-the-counter, field purchases of supplies and non-personal services 

(cash and carry type purchases), which have traditionally been conducted using an SF44. The 3-in-1 

tool is a small lightweight device that will capture and record purchase, payment, and receiving 

information including the user's receipt of goods and vendor acknowledgement of payment. The

device will automatically transfer that data to the 3-in-1 module in the Joint Contingency Contracting 

System.

AMPS (Account Management and Provisioning System): DLA’s enterprise account management 

system used to manage access to dozens of applications. Used with MEBS to obtain maps and flight 

publications.

AMS TAC (Automated Manifest System, Tactical): a legacy application used by traffic 

management personnel to provide instant and automated access to manifest information regarding 

contents of containers and pallets.

CASM (Contingency Acquisition Support Model): a web-based application designed to assist 

individuals responsible for initiating contracting requirements in an expeditionary environment. The 

application identifies the documents required to initiate a contract, provides templates for the 

documents, prompts the user for information required to complete the documents, and routes the 

documents to appropriate reviewers and approvers. CASM also alerts individuals when to take 

action on the requirements package. CASM's output is a completed, approved contract requirements 

package for a forward deployed contracting office to take action.

CCR (Central Contractor Registration): a highly secure, single repository of vendor data used 

government wide. Vendor registration provides common data in one central location via a simple 

web application accessed by a browser. The CCR lists CAGE and other vendor information for all 

contractors doing business with the Marine Corps. The TAC1 of all contractor DoDAACs shall be 

the same as their address information listed for their CAGE in the CCR. This system has been 

incorporated into System for Award Management (SAM).

CMOS (Cargo Movement Operations System): a combat support system that automates installation 

cargo movement during peacetime, and deployment cargo and passenger movement during 

contingency operations. The Air Force is responsible for the development of this system.

CRIF (Cargo Routing Information File): the automated authoritative source for CONUS and 

OCONUS outbound cargo routing for all mobile naval units, deployed Coast Guard vessels and 

aviation squadrons, including components of ESG/ ARG. The CRIF, managed by Naval Operations 

Logistics Support Center (NOLSC), provides shipping addresses for unit’s TP Codes one, two and 

three to DLA TS. DLA TS distributes CRIF information to government sources of supply and 

logistics systems to ensure automated processing of shipments to the correct location. The CRIF can 

be used for CONUS and OCONUS addresses, as well as ship’s addresses. Any location worldwide 

can be loaded into the CRIF.

DAMES (DAASC Automated Message Exchange System): provides a communications capability 

that allows a DAMES customer to exchange logistics data with the US Government and the DoD 

logistics community. DAMES is a PC-based system providing the capability to communicate with 

DAAS, sending and receiving logistics transactions and narrative traffic. The MS Windows version 

of DAMES communicates via TCP/IP via the internet. The DAMES server manages the input and 

output files for DAMES users that utilize ‘FTP’ as their method of exchanging logistics data with the 

DAASC. As data is received, the server validates the format of the input file, and passes the data to 

the DAASC Network Control System (DNCS) for processing. As DAAS outputs data to a DAMES 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix I MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

I-4

‘FTP’ customer, the DAMES server software manages the transmission of the data to the DAMES 

customer site. The customer interfaces with the DAMES server via their DAMES PC software 

package. Customer profile information on the DAMES server is updated during DNCS file 

maintenance. See reference (z).

DCPDS (Defense Civilian Personnel Data System): a computer-supported system designed to 

improve the accuracy, responsiveness, and usefulness of data required for civilian personnel 

management within the Army and DoD. In DCPDS, each civilian employee has a master record 

reflecting over 15,000 characters of data. The database contains current, projected, and historical 

positions. It also contains employee personnel management data, such as education level, work 

experience, current grade and step, awards history, projected training requirements and completed 

training. Workforce analysis on a variety of topics can be provided to assist in making sound, wellinformed personnel management decisions. Examples of products DCPDS products include, 

performance ratings and awards distribution; discipline and adverse actions taken; fill actions or 

separation actions taken and/or pending; current or projected retirement eligible; employees on 

temporary appointments, details, and promotions; employees participating in formal training 

programs; and employees with military recall status.

DCPS (Defense Civilian Payroll System): the DoD system used to pay Federal employees of DoD.

DLMS (Defense Logistics Management System): a process governing logistics functional business 

management standards and practices rather than an Automated Information System (AIS). The 

DLMS interprets, prescribes, and implements DoD policy in the functional areas of supply, 

transportation, acquisition (contract administration), maintenance, and finance. Joint committees 

administer the requirements of these functional areas. The DLMS provides a functional 

infrastructure for the establishment and maintenance of procedural guidelines required for its user 

community to carry out DoD logistics policy. The DLMS is authorized by reference (c).

DLSS (Defense Logistics Standard Systems): the MILS system for data exchange. Being replaced 

by DLMS.

DMLSS (Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support): the DMLSS AIS has joint interoperability 

requirements which directly support the DoD medical community's core mission functional areas. 

The focused objective of the DMLSS program is to support the Military Health System health care 

delivery mission by providing timely materiel, facilities, services, and information resources essential 

to patient care in both peacetime and wartime. The DMLSS AIS is the primary support system for all 

military logistics functions associated with Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) worldwide. Critical 

MTF logistics functions managed include medical equipment inventories, consumable supplies 

management, and similar related inventory services. This program automates these critical medical 

logistics by standardizing hospital computer data inventory processes. This impacts the MTF by 

reducing the time that health care personnel must spend on routine logistics activities. DMLSS 

achieves integration and interoperates with other standard DoD systems such as DFAS and DLA.

DMLSS is deployed to virtually all CONUS & OCONUS MTFs as well as combat and field units in 

support of medical logistics requirements. Other DMLSS interfaces include military theater medical 

information systems, other medical and non-medical AIS systems as well as financial, procurement, 

civil engineering, and military wholesale logistics systems.

DoD E-Mall (DLA Electronic Commerce Mall (or DoD E-Mall): a-DLA managed website used for 

online procurements of commonly used items. For the Marine Corps, use of DoD E-Mall is only 

authorized for non-MILSTRIP requirements. Materiel that has a National Stock Number is not 

authorized for procurement through DoD E-Mall and must be requisitioned through the appropriate 

Marine Corps system. DoD E-Mall keys off of an activity’s DoDAAC.

DoDAAD (Department of Defense Activity Address Directory): automated database of all 

DoDAACs.

DoDAAF (Department of Defense Activity Address File): database file that contains the DoDAAD.

DPAS (Defense Property Accountability System): a DoD property management system. It is the 

APSR for over 20 DoD agencies and military Services. This program is administered by OUSD 

AT&L, a branch of OSD. In the Marine Corps, DPAS uses DoDAACs to establish accounts.

DRRS-MC (Defense Readiness Reporting System - Marine Corps): designed and implemented on 

30 April 2010, DRRS-MC is the Marine Corps’ readiness reporting system that fulfills reference (l) 

responsibilities and provides readiness information for congressional testimony, quarterly readiness 

reports to congress, joint combat capability assessments, and the Commandant’s Planning Guidance. 

DRRS-MC captures both unit resource and MET/mission assessments of units designated to report 

readiness on both core and assigned missions. Force structured units (units established by MCBul 

5400) designated as readiness reporting units in DRRS-MC use TFSMS UICs to report readiness on 

core and assigned missions. When applicable, units not residing in TFSMS (ad hoc/provisional 

units) designated to report readiness in DRRS-MC use DC PP&O POR UICs to capture the readiness 

of these units in DRRS-MC.

DTS (Defense Travel System): a fully integrated, automated, end-to-end travel management system 

that enables DoD travelers to create authorizations ( TAD travel orders), prepare reservations, receive 

approvals, generate travel vouchers, and receive a split reimbursement between their bank accounts 

and the Government Travel Charge Card vendor. The Defense Business Transformation Agency 

(BTA) has program (technical) oversight of DTS and the Defense Travel Management Office, OUSD 

(P&R) has functional oversight.

DTTS (Defense Transportation Tracking System): provides electronic tracking of shipments while 

enroute and increases security and response capability in the event of accident or incident. It is DoD 

policy to track all Security Risk Category (SRC) I through IV munitions shipments using Satellite 

Motor Surveillance Service (SM). Shipments of Uncategorized Division 1.1 through 1.3 munitions 

will use SM at the option of the DoD shipper service headquarters. The rates charged by munitions 

carriers for SM will be expressed as a separate accessorial charge and will be considered with other 

line haul charges to determine the overall low rate for rating and routing purposes under references 

(q), (v) and (w).

EDA (Electronic Document Access): part of the Marine Corps’ paperless acquisition portfolio, EDA 

is a joint repository used by the program management, finance, disbursing, contracting, industry 

trading partners, other federal agencies, and the logistics community to store and manage common 

documents. EDA has been undergoing a transformation since 2008 to store and manage procurement 

data standard (PDS) compliant contract data as well as historic PDF files and key elements of the 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix I MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

I-6

electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions. This allows EDA to present contract data in a 

standard format regardless of which contract writing system generated the contract transaction. In 

January 2011, EDA implemented a management reporting system capability to enable greater search 

functionality of contract data, and to facilitate downloads of this data to industry, legacy and future 

contract writing systems, and any other system that consume contract award data. Combined with 

data from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), this integrated data environment enables 

custom extracts of data to a myriad of other functional systems. EDA is a critical capability for the 

contract writing and administration environment. Therefore, EDA is a mandatory DoD system for 

the following:

• Master repository for unclassified DoD contracts, orders and modifications in accordance 

with reference (q). Classified environments are encouraged to mirror the EDA data environment to 

ensure data integrity can be achieved across the department.

• In accordance with reference (x), all contracting officers are required to have an EDA 

account. This ensures that all contracting officers have access to contract deficiency reports on their 

own contracts, and have access to ordering instruments and useful examples from other offices. The 

DPAP is partnering with the EDA program office to explore search tools for identifying examples of

contracts for similar efforts.

• To ensure timely and accurate reporting, DPAP also uses EDA data to scorecard contract 

action reporting to FPDS.

• To enable data capture of the required contractor delivery dates in support of contractor 

performance measurements in Past Performance Information Retrieval System – Statistical Reporting 

at the DoD enterprise level.

E-MIPR (Electronic Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request): a web-based application that 

enables the transmission of MIPR Form 448-1 & 448-2 using B2B technologies. The eMIPRTM web 

application runs in the .MIL domain in a secure 128-bit encrypted environment. It makes the process 

of MIPR creation, acceptance, tracking, and management efficient, accurate and secure.

EPLS (Excluded Parties List System): a web application that uses B2B technologies to 

electronically create, send/receive, and maintain up-to-date status of MIPR (Form 448-1 / Form 448-

2) documents. The eMIPRTM web application runs in the .MIL domain in a secure 128-bit encrypted 

environment. It makes the process of MIPR creation, acceptance, tracking, and management 

efficient, accurate and secure.

FAS (Fuels Automated System): most of the fuel obtained to operate vehicles, generators, etc. is 

obtained from the Defense Logistics Agency-Energy (DLA-E), a subordinate command of DLA. 

DLA-E controls all fuel operations for all DoD agencies. Whether in garrison or deployed, the fuel 

farm or pumping stations are normally DLA-E owned. A Voyager fuel card or Fuel Key is required 

by activities using the fuel farm. This is based on the type of pumps used at the installation. The 

Voyager card should be accepted at commercial fuel stations. It contains the unit’s DoDAAC which 

is used in the supplementary address field of the record used within the Material and Services 

Financial Information Pointer Cross Reference Table (Table 030) to process fuel charge transaction 

in SABRS. The Fuel Key is electronically coded with a unique serial number associated to the 
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

Appendix I MCO 4400.201-V2

 13 JUN 2016

I-7

activity’s DoDAAC and Fund Code. The fuel card or key information is entered into FAS and used 

for monthly billings to consumer activities in the form of an IDB. The IDBs are processed in 

accordance with MILSBILLS standards and will have Document Identifier Code (DIC) beginning 

with “FJ.”

Each time the card is used at a fuel farm, FAS creates an electronic record of the purchase 

and passes this transaction to SABRS. SABRS uses Table 030 to obtain the required financial code 

information to post the fiscal obligation transaction.

If a match for the MAC and DoDAAC in the supplementary address field are found, the 

incoming record is linked to fiscal data element information and a commitment, obligation and 

expense transaction (COE) is posted in SABRS with a system identification code of BSME. The 

monthly IDB processed will “marry up” with the COE record in SABRS based on the transaction’s 

MILSTRIP document number. 

FAS are a “purple” DoD system. If a command’s financial data is not entered in this system 

and associated with the fuel card or key, SABRS will not receive a record to process the obligation 

for fuel charges; however, the Marine Corps will still get a billing based on the DoDAAC on the card 

or key.

Key process and management internal control checks are:

- Ensuring that FAS is updated with correct data elements (i.e. DoDAAC, Fund Code, etc.) to 

ensure an electronic transaction is passed to SABRS to commit, obligate, and expense fuel purchases. 

- Ensuring that SABRS is receiving electronic records from FAS for processing, and that 

SABRS is receiving IDBs (at least monthly) for previous FAS purchases.

- Ensuring that Voyager cards are only being used to purchase fuel for authorized vehicles 

and that only authorized personnel are allowed to check the cards out for use.

FedReg (Federal Register): the BPN was implemented by DoD in 2003 to identify federal agencies 

and DoD activities that have requisition authority to enter into agreement with one another for the 

acquisition of, or provision for, goods and services. Activities must identify themselves with a 

unique BPN on all intra-governmental transactions. All BPNs must be registered in the FedReg via 

the DoDAAD. The BPN for DoD activities is a nine-character, alpha-numeric identifier consisting 

of “DoD” followed by the six-character DoDAAC (e.g., “DoD” plus “M67353” is a BPN of 

“DoDM67353”). The FedReg BPN is loaded automatically from the DoDAAD; consequently, 

proper DoDAAC assignment is critical to maintaining proper management control over requisition 

authority. FedReg is being replaced by SAM.

FPDS-NG (Federal Procurement Data System - Next Generation): the Office of Federal 

Procurement Policy, reference (b) requires the administrator for Federal Procurement Policy to 

establish a computer-based FPDS for collecting, developing and disseminating procurement data to 

Congress, the Executive Branch, and private sector. The FPDS Program Management Office (FPDS 

PMO) within the Office of the Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) oversees the operation of 

the FPDS-NG while GSA’s contractor operates and maintains the system. Executive departments
MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE MARINE CORPS

and agencies are responsible for collecting and reporting data to FPDS-NG as required by FAR. The 

Federal Government uses the reported data to measure and assess the impact of Federal procurement 

on the nation’s economy, the extent to which awards are made to businesses in the various socioeconomic categories, the impact of full and open competition on the acquisition process, and other 

procurement policy purposes. FPDS-NG contains data that the Federal Government uses to create 

recurring and special reports to the President, Congress, the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO), Federal executive agencies and the general public. FPDS-NG is part of the Marine Corps’ 

paperless acquisition portfolio.

GPC (Government Purchase Card): the GPC Program (also known as the GSA SmartPay Program) 

provides charge cards to agencies/departments throughout the U.S. Government. The GPC Program 

is intended to streamline the small purchase and payment process, minimize paperwork, eliminate 

impress fund transactions, and to simplify the administrative effort associated with procuring goods 

and services under the micro-purchase threshold. The GPC Program is established using master 

contracts negotiated with national banks (e.g., Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, and U.S. Bank). 

GCSS-MC (Global Combat Support System - Marine Corps): the system was designed to operate 

within the Marine Corps technical infrastructure and incorporates a seamless logistics information 

system, integrating supply and maintenance functionality through a common user interface and 

relational database. GCSS-MC uses an enterprise resource planning solution – Oracle® 11i 

eBusiness Suite software – and enables numerous organizational changes and redesigned supply and 

maintenance procedures. GCSS-MC provides the foundation for an energetic multi-year, multiphased logistics modernization program that will dramatically enhance the model for warfighter 

support. Unlike legacy supply systems, GCSS-MC uses the TFSMS UIC as the identifier for 

establishing a customer account. The UIC is also used as the principal identifier for accountability of 

end items within the system. The DoDAAC is associated to the customer account and is used as the 

identifier for conducting business across DLMS (i.e., requisitioning, etc.). It is therefore key that the 

relationship between UICs and DoDAACs be maintained current within the DoDAAF to enable this 

relationship.

GRSC (Garrison Retail Supply Chain): consists of a collection of retail ServMart stores located on 

Marine Corps installations (Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB), Albany, Georgia and Barstow, 

California; Marine Corps Base, Camp, Pendleton, CA; Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, NC; 

Marine Corps Base, Quantico, VA; Marine Corps Base, Camp Butler, JA; Marine Corps Base, 

Kaneohe Bay, HI). These ServMarts provides support to installations and its tenant activities with 

services, office supplies, commercial industrial products (i.e., select hand tools, cleaning supplies, 

etc.) and maintenance repair and operations supplies in direct support for installations and tenant 

activities.

ServMarts supported under the GRSC do not replace the requisition process for supply system items; 

Supply Class with dedicated systems of record to include, but not limited to Class V, Class VII, Class 

VIII and Class IX. Requirements for system items will be requisitioned via the appropriate ADS in 

order to build supply demand data history. However, commercial readily available items of a nonmilitary specific nature may be procured via the ServMarts and demand data provided to the SMU as 

required.

HMMS (Hazardous Material Management System): a DoD system used for managing hazardous 

materials and waste compliance reporting.

INFADS (Internet Navy Facilities Assets Data Store): the official Navy database used to track 

custody and control of Class I (land) and Class II (facilities) property. Commander, Naval Facilities 

Engineering Command is the administrator of INFADS and the custodian of the Navy’s official Real 

Property Inventory (RPI). MCICOM is the Marine Corps’ manager of Real Property.

JDRS (Joint Discrepancy Reporting System): used by Marine Aviation activities to submit Product 

Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDRs), EIS, and Technical Publication Deficiency Reports.

JOPES (Joint Operational Planning and Execution System): the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 

Staff joint planning system. It covers the planning spectrum from the National Command Authorities 

(NCA) through the Chairman, to the COCOMs and the joint task force commanders. JOPES governs 

all aspects of conventional joint military operations planning and execution. It is the tool used by all 

echelons of planners and operators to speak a commonly understood language. JOPES furnishes 

joint commanders and war planners at all levels with standardized policies, procedures, and formats 

to produce and execute a variety of required tasks (i.e., planning, execution and deployment (timephased force and deployment data [TPFDD]) management)). JOPES is not simply a computer 

system. It includes automated data processing (ADP) support for planners and commanders by 

providing both hardware (computers) and software (programs) to facilitate joint operation planning 

and execution. JOPES software applications support a variety of planning and execution functions. 

Together, the computer hardware and software systems assist planners to develop detailed 

deployment requirements, estimate logistics and transportation requirements, assess transportation 

feasibility, prioritize and track deployment status during execution, and refine deployment 

requirements and monitor the deployment. JOPES is the principal system within the DoD to 

translate NCA policy decisions into the joint COCOMs air, land and sea operations. It does this by 

precisely defining DoD war planning and execution policies, designating specific procedures and 

formats, and providing ADP support to convert NCA decisions into joint operation plans.

LMARS/CWT (Logistics Metrics Analysis Reporting System/Customer Wait Time): this system is 

populated with information from the MILSTRIP and MILSTRAP transactions that flow through the 

DAAS. LMARS/CWT reports response time within any of the 12 nodes of the logistics pipeline. All 

reporting timeframes are in terms of days. LMARS/CWT maintains historical data since its 

inception in February 1997. Standard reports are available (via the web also) on a monthly basis.

MDSS II (Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Deployment Support System II): a standalone 

system used by Marine Corps operating forces to support Force Deployment Planning and Execution 

(FDP&E). It is the database and interface hub for unit deployments. Through the use of extensive 

reference files, the system provides actual data to JFRG II to create an executable TPFDD. It 

reads/writes standard MSL, and active Radio Frequency Identification tags. It collects and formats 

data for transmission to the ITV server and exchanges information with Marine Corps, other service 

and joint logistics, movement and distribution systems.

MEBS (Mapping Enterprise Business System): a DLA system used to obtain maps and flight 

publications which are shipped free issue to an activity's DoDAAC. Units that have subscriptions for 

maps/flight pubs via MEBS should either be requisitioning DoDAACs (00) or Free Issue (06). 

Squadrons that do not have their own requisitioning DoDAAC may often obtain a 06 DoDAAC 

solely for subscribing through MEBS.

MILSBILLS (Military Standard Billing System): the system provides data elements, codes, 

standard mechanized procedures, and formats to be used for billing, collecting and related accounting 

for sales of materiel and services prescribed for the Inter-fund Billing System.

MILSCAP (Military Standard Contract Administration Procedures): prescribes uniform procedures, 

rules, data elements, codes, formats, and time standards concerning the interchange of contract 

related information between and among DoD Components. Being replaced by DLMS. See

reference (p).

MILSTAMP (Military Standard Transportation and Movement Procedures): establishes uniform 

procedures and documents for the generation, documentation, communication and use of 

transportation information, thus providing the capability for control of shipments moving in the DoD 

transportation system. The MILSTAMP regulation (DoD 4500.32R, Vols I and II) has been 

incorporated into Part II (Cargo Movement) of reference (q). The former MILSTAMP provisions 

have been realigned with the appropriate subject matter within DTR Part II.

MILSTRAP (Military Standard Transaction Reporting and Accountability Procedures): prescribes 

uniform procedures for recording inventory management data passed between elements of a single 

Service or Agency distribution system or between the various distribution systems of the DoD. The 

forms, formats, and codes provide for standard transaction reporting and accountability procedures 

for item accountability and financial inventory of DoD materiel. The prescribed codes are mandatory 

for inter- and intra-DoD Component use when data are interchanged among distribution system 

elements. See reference (y).

MILSTRIP (Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue Procedures): prescribes uniform 

procedures, data elements, codes, formats, forms and time standards for the interchange of logistics 

information relating to requisitioning, supply advice, supply status, materiel issue/receipt, lateral 

redistribution, and materiel return processes. The procedures govern the interchange of information 

for all materiel commodities between supported activities and supply control/distribution systems of 

the DoD. See reference (f).

MOCAS (Mechanization of Contract Administration Services): used for the management and 

payment of complex contracts including multi-funded contracts and line items. It provides support 

for source acceptance of contracts requiring higher level or specialized quality assurance 

requirements, administration of government property furnished to contractors, and management of 

contractor business systems and contract closeout. MOCAS provides DCMA with an enterprise 

source of contract management data for all its military service and defense agency customers. 

Payments from MOCAS account for approximately 60% of the dollars paid to vendors by DoD.

MOWASP (Mechanization of Warehousing and Shipping Procedures): the Marine Corps ICP and 

remote storage activity (RSA) storage and distribution system. It is one of five most critical legacy 

logistics systems used by MARCORLOGCOM. Operational users at the Fleet Support Centers 

Albany, GA., and Barstow, CA. use MOWASP to process the following transactions: Due-In, 

Receipt, Due Verification, Material Release, Material Release Advice, Physical Inventory, Demand, 

Storage Item Correction, and Inventory Adjustments. MOWASP obtains its information via DAAS 

or from direct feeds from the SCS or Technical Data Management System (TDMS). It allows 

MARCORLOGCOM logistics systems the ability to implement DLMS. DPAS will replace the 

warehouse components of MOWASP.

MUMMS (Marine Corps Unified Material Management System): manages the in-stores element of 

the Marine Corps’ inventory which is under central inventory management control. The system 

incorporates all standardized requirements of DoD. It is compatible with DLA, GSA, and other 

military Services through the use of standardized formats and languages. The in-stores element 

consists of the following organizational components: ICP, MCLB, Albany, two RSA's, and Direct 

Support Stock Control (DSSC) activities. The administrative tasks and functions available in 

MUMMS are organized into 15 subsystems operated as one integrated system from the ICP through 

a large-scale computer program. The subsystems are interrelated and data in each subsystem are 

available to the others for use. The subsystems fall into three general areas. Two areas, 

supply/financial and technical, pertain to the functions at the ICP. The third area pertains to RSA 

functions. There are eight subsystems in the supply/financial area. These are concerned primarily 

with inventory control, accounting, procurement, budget, and supply management reports. The five 

subsystems in the technical area perform such functions as provisioning, technical data, war reserve, 

data control, and applications. The remaining two subsystems deal with the RSA functions of 

MOWASP and DSSC. A brief summary of each of the 15 subsystems follows:

a. Stores Accounting Subsystem (SS 04)

The Stores Accounting Subsystem is designed as an automated operation to record and 

accumulate all data required for financial analysis of inventory movement, and to control and account 

for cash resources as well as financial inventory balances. From the input data, current and timely 

management and financial control reports are produced to support decision making and for financial 

control actions under the budget process. This system receives transactions which affect the Marine 

Corps Stock Fund and Marine Corps Appropriation Stores Account Master Inventory and Direct 

Support Stock Control records, computes the dollar value of the transactions, and updates the store's 

inventory balance records. These transactions are accumulated into various files to be used for the 

preparation of management reports, financial reports, budget reports, and reconciliation of supply 

and fiscal transactions.

b. Automated Procurement Subsystem (SS 05)

The Automated Procurement Subsystem provides semiautomatic purchase requests for 

commercial purchases generated by the Inventory Control Subsystem. In addition, it provides 

previous procurement history and other data necessary for the buyer to select bidders, evaluate 

responses, and process the award.

The MOWASP Subsystem is an automated procedure for shipment of supplies, receipts, instorage operations, and preparation of management reports. This subsystem is required due to the 

adoption of the MILSTRIP and MILSTAMP automated procedures. It covers the receiving process, 

the issue and shipment process, the preservation and packaging process, operation inspection of 

technical items, and space reporting.

d. Direct Support Stock Control Subsystem (SS 07)

The DSSC Subsystem is designed to record and accumulate all data required for routine 

record keeping; requisitioning, reporting to the Inventory Control and Stores Accounting 

Subsystems; and maintaining history. The accounts within the subsystem are: self-service centers; 

retail clothing outlets; subsistence accounts; ammunition accounts; petroleum, oil, and lubricant ; and 

separate individual clothing accounts.

e. Technical Data Management Subsystem (SS 08)

The Technical Data Management Subsystem is designed to capture and record the elements 

of technical and management data related to items of supply and/or production. The detailed 

procedures of this subsystem outline specific functions and responsibilities necessary to maintain 

pertinent files of data related to items of supply and production and provide a means of ready 

retrieval of stored data through the use of inquiry techniques. The subsystem provides notification of 

cataloging and management data changes to Marine Corps organizations and certain DoD activities; 

interfaces with and provides information to, other materiel management systems; and is compatible 

with DoD/DLA materiel management systems.

f. Applications Subsystem (SS 09)

The Applications Subsystem provides an automated capability to maintain certain elements 

of current management data for all preferred stock numbered items in the supply system. It computes 

retention levels for special item categories to ensure protection of assets. It is also the source for the 

Marine Corps Stock List, SL-6; and provides data for the maintenance of other stock lists.

g. Provisioning Subsystem (SS 10)

The Provisioning Subsystem ensures that initial spares, repair parts, special tools, test 

equipment, and support equipment required for initial support of new items are procured and 

protected from general issue and distributed in a timely basis to appropriate organizations. This 

subsystem, through other subsystems, enables supply support with Integrated Materiel Managers 

(DLA/GSA); updates/establishes application files; causes new items to be entered into the Inventory

Control Subsystem; and prepares Marine Corps Stock List, SL-4.

h. War Reserve Subsystem (SS 11)

This subsystem develops the record of mobilization (D-day) materiel requirements authorized 

for acquisition in the Marine Corps. Requirements, established by various withdrawal plans, are 

processed routinely in the Marine Corps inventory management systems to ensure the protection of 

assets. The records developed by this subsystem provide input to AAO. Upon execution of a 

withdrawal plan, this subsystem generates the necessary transactions to the appropriate Marine Corps 

inventory management system (wholesale/retail) to cause the release of required materiel. The 

overall concept is tailored to provide immediate response to the MAGTF materiel support 

requirements at D-day or any "short of war" situation.

i. Special Programs Subsystem (SS 15)

The Special Programs Subsystem is intended to support those programs special in nature 

which cannot be routinely controlled or processed by other subsystems within MUMMS. It 

addresses those programs, regardless of size, which involves considerable interface with two or more 

subsystems, to more clearly portray an overview of the required actions or functions.

j. Supply Management Information Subsystem (SS 16)

MUMMS is a very broad system. A system of this magnitude needs a focal point for 

collecting useful data from all of the subsystems and for collating it into meaningful reports for 

management personnel. The Supply Management Information Subsystem is designed to fulfill this 

vital role within MUMMS. This subsystem will incorporate all of the processes and procedures 

necessary to support this centralized materiel management approach. Each subsystem design 

includes processes for generating prescribed output to this subsystem. All of this data will be 

collected in the SS 16 data bank, from which it will be retrieved for integrated processing on 

schedule.

k. Allotment Accounting Subsystem (SS 17)

The Allotment Accounting Subsystem is a manual/mechanized system which records funding 

data from the time the ICP initiates a requisition until its funds are liquidated. This subsystem 

provides up-to-date information on funds allotted to the ICP on an accelerated basis, including the 

recording of necessary funding data from computer-generated buy recommendations, manually 

generated buy recommendations, direct delivery buy notices, and MILSTRIP requisitions. In 

addition, it provides techniques for monitoring funds to ensure that over commitments/obligations do 

not occur. The allotment file and other associated files furnish all necessary data for the preparation 

of report s for local management and for submission to CMC.

NALCOMIS (Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System): a component 

of NAMP, NALCOMIS provides a modern, real time, responsive, computer based management 

information system. The three objectives of NALCOMIS are to increase aircraft readiness by 

providing local maintenance and supply managers with timely and accurate information required in

continually improve aviation material readiness and safety standards established by the 

CNO/COMNAVAIRFOR, with coordination from the CMC, with optimum use of manpower, 

materiel, facilities, and funds. COMNAVAIRFOR aviation material readiness standards include:

a. Repair of aeronautical equipment and materiel at that level of maintenance which 

ensures optimum economic use of resources.

b. Protection of weapon systems from corrosive elements through the prosecution of an 

active corrosion control program.

c. Application of a systematic planned maintenance program and the collection, 

analysis, and use of data in order to effectively improve materiel condition and safety.

NSWC Small Arms Registry: Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is the Marine Corps 

Component Registry that serves as the ADS for full lifecycle asset tracking through serialization 

control for small arms/light weapons in accordance with reference (z). NSWC Crane, Indiana 

manages the Marine Corps Serialized Small Arms Accountability Program, which meets DoD 

serialized small arms/light weapons reporting and property accounting requirements, provides the 

means for timely and accurate tracking of each small arm’s status, and augments established security 

procedures. The registry establishes accounts for organization’s serialized small arms by way of the 

DoDAAC.

OIS (Ordnance Information System): a vertically integrated, web-enabled collection of user 

applications, internal processes, and report generators operating against a distributed Oracle® 

relational database. The Joint Ammunition Standard System was terminated leaving the Services to 

find a solution. Marine Ammunition Accounting Reporting System was a batch process system that 

would need to be modernized to support “real time” asset visibility as directed in the CINC 129 

requirements document. An analysis of alternatives was conducted and the decision was made to 

partner with the Navy Ammunition Logistics Center to develop a Naval system to manage supply 

Class V ammunition. The joint solution is the Ordnance Information System (OIS) which brings 

together functionality of many legacy systems into a web-based, shared data environment.

One Touch (Navy One Touch Support): Navy online requisitioning portal which interfaces with 

DAAS via the DoDAAC.

ORCA (Online Representations and Certifications Application): a Federal mandate for vendors as 

published in references (z), and (aa). ORCA was developed as part of the BPN, which is a 

component of the IAE E-Gov initiative. ORCA provides the SAM with data for registered vendors 

of the Federal government. The mandate requires that each Service:

a. Provide representations and certifications electronically via the BPN website 

(orca.bpn.gov/) thus reducing the administrative burden on vendors who have been submitting the 

same representations and certifications repeatedly for various solicitations.

b. Maintain current representations and certifications on an annually basis.

provisions that are required by the FAR, included in the solicitation.

PBDD (Program Budget Development Database): the Marine Corps Program Objective 

Memorandum (POM) is developed through the PBDD. The key to the PBDD is the Marine Corps 

Programming Code (MCPC). All initiatives and funding tracks for Major Allotment Recipients are 

associated with a MCPC. HQMC P&R is the functional manager of the PBDD. The PBDD uses 

DoDAACs to identify commands and must be reconciled annually against the DoDAAD for 

accuracy.

PBIS (Program Budget Information System): the Navy's primary information system for developing 

and submitting the DON's long range financial plan (POM) and budget to OSD, and for allocating 

the funds appropriated and monitoring their execution. This includes the Marine Corps. PBIS 

consists of a server complex in the Pentagon on the Navy Marine Corps Internet, and a backup site at 

a secure location. PBIS provides functionality that allows users to create, modify, query, and 

generate reports on DON POM and budget data.

PDREP (Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program): the DON program that supports 

requirements regarding the reporting, collection and use of supplier performance information 

identified in the Code of Federal Regulations, FAR, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement (DFARS) and Navy regulations. PDREP supports Navy management of the supply 

chain ensuring first time quality and on-time delivery of materials for both critical and non-critical 

applications. It promotes continuous process improvement for increased materiel readiness and 

decreased deficiency issues, providing an overall cost savings to DoD and the Navy. The program is 

sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy Research, Development and 

Acquisition ASN (RD&A) and is the designated SECNAV PDREP program authority. Within ASN 

(RD&A), the DASN Expeditionary Programs and Logistics Management (ELM) is the primary 

office of responsibility and provide program guidance and policy regarding PDREP and its use. 

SECNAV Instruction 4855.3 is the foundation of the PDREP program and establishes requirements 

for all DON Activities to report supplier performance information in PDREP. The PDREP (AIS) is 

the single authorized DON database used to record, collect, retrieve and analyze supplier 

performance data. PQDR) discrepancies (Supply Discrepancy Reports - SDR), Receipt Inspection 

(Material Inspection Results - MIR), Contract Delivery Performance (Contract Award Data – CAD), 

Supplier Audits, Supplier Survey Data, Non-Conforming Materials, Premature Material Failures, 

Naval Bulletins, Special Quality Data and other relevant supplier information. The PDREP AIS 

supports the documentation, storage and retrieval of multiple record types displaying supplier 

product and performance information. It is Item Unique Identification (IUID) compliant providing 

automated data retrieval from the IUID registry for easier reporting of Unique Item Identifier 

materials. The program also provides an AD HOC feature that allows for creation of unique reports, 

designed specifically by the individual user.

PQDR (Product Quality Deficiency Report): the cross-Component process that provides quality 

deficiency data to activities responsible for design, development, purchasing, production, supply, 

maintenance, and contract administration so that action may be initiated to determine cause, take 

corrective action, and prevent recurring deficiencies. The PQDR is used to report deficiencies 

occurring in major weapon systems, secondary/consumable/repairable items, spare and repair parts, 

government-owned products used during development and testing, and items supplied as

government-furnished property, to include warranted, Contractor Logistics Support, commercial offthe-shelf (COTS), and Marine Corps Common Hardware Suite items. Any individual may report a 

product quality deficiency. An individual/Activity that discovers defective materiel and submits a 

PQDR is known as the originator/originating point. Even if a deficient item is useable, the 

deficiency must still be reported. PQDR uses ship-to DoDAACs like “in boxes” as a means of 

facilitating transmission of information within the system.

PR Builder (Purchase Request Builder): part of the Marine Corps’ paperless acquisition portfolio, 

PR Builder is the front-end of the Marine Corps acquisition process. It is used by Marine Corps 

commands to electronically create, route for approval, and apply funding to purchase requests (PRs), 

funding documents (FDs), and miscellaneous payments (MiscPay). PR Builder reports, near realtime commitment transactions to SABRS. PR Builder also interfaces with the Standard Procurement 

System (SPS) to provide the contracting office with contract information associated appropriation 

data. MARADMIN 444/12 mandated the use of PR Builder for all Marine Corps Inter/Intra 

Government Transactions effective 1 October 2012. PR Builder contains DoDAACs for all Marine 

Activities that are authorized to requisition (DoDAACs w/authority code 00).

RAMP (Reportable Asset Management Process): an Air Force system that was adopted by the 

Marine Corps to replace the functionality of the legacy MUMMS Subsystem for Controlled Item 

Management, known as Subsystem 13 (SS 13). RAMP interfaces with TFSMS for allowances and 

end item stratification by way of TFSMS Type Support Codes and Command Designator Codes 

(a.k.a. MAJCOMs).

SABRS (Standard Accounting Budget and Reporting System): the official accounting system for the 

Marine Corps designed to meet fiduciary standards established by the GAO, OMB, United States 

Treasury Department, and DoD. SABRS accounts for all Marine Corps funds throughout the life of 

the appropriation. Normally, this will include the year authorized to incur new obligations and five 

subsequent years to complete receipt and expenditures on established undelivered orders. SABRS 

uses DoDAACs to identify its various commands and establishes a hierarchy of MRIs, ARIs, SRIs, 

WCIs, and AACs that reflect an operational command and control based on funds distribution. Table 

208 of SABRS must be maintained accurate with the DoDAAD on an as occurring basis to ensure 

that all Authority Code 00 DoDAACs in SABRS are reflected in the DoDAAD, and vice versa 

(except forNAF activity DoDAACs). HQMC I&L (LPC) and P&R (RFA) ensures constant dialog 

between the CSP and the SABRS Table Load Manager to ensure that accuracy is maintained.

SAM (System for Award Management): a Federal Government owned and operated free web site 

that consolidates the capabilities in CCR/FedReg and ORCA. Future phases of SAM will add the 

capabilities of other systems used in Federal procurement and awards processes.

SCS (Stock Control System): an Air Force system that was fielded at Marine Corps Logistics 

Command in 1995 to replace legacy subsystems of MUMMS for ICP accountability of equipment, 

supplies and materiel. The system itself is comprised of a 3270 mainframe online portal and a midtier web-based application which provides users with capabilities for materiel management that 

include technical research, finding parts, reading item manager notes, and getting status of 

requisitions sent to Marine Corps ICPs. The SCS website opens in the Asset Inquiry page but the 

SCS program can also do requisition inquiries and part number inquiries.

SPS (Standard Procurement System): part of the Marine Corps’ paperless acquisition portfolio, the 

SPS is a software suite providing front-office business services to acquisition professionals in the 

United States DoD. SPS is an outgrowth of the DoD corporate information management (CIM) 

initiatives in the early 1990s and provides standard business processes and data management across 

disparate acquisition communities, including:

- Posts, camps, and stations

- Inventory Control Points

- Major Weapon Systems

- Contingency contracting

STORES (Subsistence Total Order and Receipt Electronic System): a PC-based system that enables 

the Military Services to send requirements to multiple vendors via EDI. STORES are based on 

accounts which are represented by DoDAACs. It must be reconciled with the DoDAAD on an as 

occurring basis to ensure the accounts contained in the system have valid DoDAACs. With the touch 

of a button, a cook in the dining hall can have an entire grocery list automatically ordered to different 

vendors for milk, bread, and other grocery items. STORES uses EDI transactions for price and item 

information, orders, receipts, and trading partner profiles among Defense Supply Center 

Philadelphia, customers, and vendors. It also sends requirements for produce to the Defense 

Subsistence Offices using EDI. All STORES price, item, and receipt information passes to the 

customer’s food management system to adjust inventory records. The STORES Management 

Information System (MIS) serves as the engine behind the system. The MIS is the repository of all 

catalog, order, and receipt information worldwide. It is a network that creates and distributes 

catalogs from the MIS as EDI transactions. Copies of orders and receipts transmitted from each of 

the STORES PCs flow to the MIS, establishing financial records and producing reports. The Joint 

Food Management System, a DLA-financed system, is planned to replace STORES and the Service’s 

food management systems. It will incorporate all menu planning, recipes, replenishment, inventory, 

head count, budgeting, and accounting functions performed by legacy systems, in addition to the 

catalog, order, receipt, and management information currently provided by STORES. The joint 

system will be accessible via the Web from any computer. It will utilize commercial off the shelf 

software, with some customization to address the requirements of a system that must operate in 

peacetime and in war.

STRATIS (Storage Retrieval Automated Tracking Integrated System). STRATIS was originally 

developed as the stand alone warehouse management system for the Marine Corps. The STRATIS 

application is fielded at six locations around the world and is in the Operations and Support phase of 

its lifecycle and requires IT support services to meet its day-to-day supply mission requirements.

TAMIS (Total Ammunition Management Information System): serves as the Marine Corps standard 

for forecasting training ammunition at Marine Corps and other training facilities. TAMIS is used to 

provide training ammunition from an ASP to its customers. TAMIS user accounts are manually 

created using DoDAACs. As such, the DoDAACs contained in TAMIS are not automatically 

updated as changes occur within the DoDAAD. If a unit changes location (due to unit rotation) and 

accepts a new DoDAAC for the command, appropriate updates must be made within TAMIS and the 

DoDAAD to ensure proper accountability and support of ammunition at the new location.
