**STOCK OR PART NUMBERS**

AP7.5.1.  Stock or part numbers are located in rp 8-22 of transactions.  When a 13-digit national stock number (NSN) or non NSN assigned to the Overseas Dependent School System items is applicable:

	AP7.5.1.1.  The federal supply classification (FSC)  will be entered in rp 8-11. 

	AP7.5.1.2.  The national or NATO item identification number (NIIN) will be entered in record position (rp) 12-20.

	AP7.5.1.3.  Example:

	AP7.5.1.4.  Cognizance symbols, stratification codes, fraction symbols, condition codes, etc., are never to be entered in rp 8-20.

AP7.5.2.  When codes are required in addition to the NSN to properly identify the item being requisitioned and these codes are recognizable to the initial processing source, the codes will be entered in rp 21 and 22.  If one digit only, entry will be in rp 21.  See examples below:

AP7.5.3.  When a 13-digit NATO NSN is applicable:

	AP7.5.3.1.  The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) FSC will be entered in rp 8-11.

	AP7.5.3.2.  A two-position NCB code which identifies the NATO country assigning the NIIN will be entered in rp 12-13.  Examples of NCB codes are:  (1) 00 and 01 - United States, (2)  99 - United Kingdom, (3) 21 - Canada, and (4) 12 - Germany.  See Cataloging Data and Transaction Standards, Volume 10, Table 9 for a complete listing of NCB codes.

	AP7.5.3.3.  The seven-digit NATO NIIN will be entered in rp 14-20.

AP7.5.3.4.  Example:

AP7.5.4.  When a manufacturer’s part number is applicable:

	AP7.5.4.1.  The contractor and Government entity (CAGE) code will be entered in rp 8-12 (see example in paragraph AP7.5.4.5., below).  If the CAGE code is not available, enter the in-the-clear description in the remarks section.

	AP7.5.4.2.  The manufacturer’s part number, if 10 digits or less, will be entered in rp 13-22 progressing from left to right, with unused spaces, if any left blank.  Use the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Technical Procedures, Volume 4, Chapter 3, to verify the validity of part numbers. 

	AP7.5.4.3.  When a manufacturer’s part number exceeds 10 digits, the materiel will be requisitioned on DD Form 1348-6.

	AP7.5.4.4.  When requisitioning across Service lines (i.e., inter-Service, DLA Supply Center, GSA) the 5-digit CAGE code will always be entered in rp 8-12.  When the requisitioner cannot determine the appropriate 5-digit CAGE, the manufacturer’s name will be provided using DD Form 1348-6.

	AP7.5.4.5.  Example: (Applicable to paragraphs AP7.5.4.1, AP7.5.4.2., and AP7.5.4.4., above.)

AP7.5.5.  If an NSN or manufacturer’s part number is not known but a description or publication reference is available to adequately identify the item, and such reference is meaningful to the processing point, use DD Form 1348-6.

AP7.5.6.  When other than an NSN or part number is applicable (i.e., a plant equipment code, DoD ammunition code, locally assigned number, etc.) and:

	AP7.5.6.1.  If 15 digit or less, it will commence in rp 8 and progress to the right, with unused spaces left blank.  Example of less than fifteen digits:

	AP7.5.6.2.  If 15 digits, it will commence in rp8 and progress to the right.  Example of Fifteen digits:

	AP7.5.6.3.  If 16 digits or more, the DD Form 1348-6 will be used and the entire number will be entered in block 1 thereof.

AP7.5.7.  Brand name resale subsistence items are identified by special item identification numbers assigned by DLA Troop Support and configured to conform with the NSN, as explained below:

	AP7.5.7.1.  Rp 8-11 will contain the FSC.  Example:  FSC 8915 is canned fruit and vegetables.

	AP7.5.7.2.  Rp 12-13 will contain NCB Code 00 or 01.

	AP7.5.7.3.  Rp 14 will contain an alpha character to distinguish brand name resale item numbers from NSNs.  The letter A identifies item in 10-500 series of DLA supply bulletins for brand name resale items.  The letter B identifies items in the 10-600 bulletins.  The letters S and J are assigned to certain brand name items not appearing in the 500 and 600 series bulletins.  The latter are announced by DLA Troop Support in monthly master item lists.

	AP7.5.7.4.  Rp 15-17 will contain the supply bulletin number, which identifies the brand name supplier.  Example:  SB 10-500-161, the numeric 161 identifies the specific supplier by name for brand name resale items listed in that bulletin.

	AP7.5.7.5.  Rp 18-20 will contain the numerical sequence of items listed in the specific bulletin (0 thru 999), i.e., line item number in the bulletin.

AP7.5.8.  Rp 3 of the document identifier code (DIC) (Appendix AP7.1) is significant to the type of number entered in rp 8-22.  Any requisition containing special or locally assigned numbers (e.g., production equipment code (PEC), DoD Ammunition Code, Subsistence Brand Name Resale Item Identification Number) must contain a 4 or D unless additional data are entered in the remarks space.

AP7.5.9.  Requisitions for perishable and nonperishable subsistence will contain the applicable subsistence type of pack code in rp 21.
