CODE EXPLANATION

P Repair parts, special tools and test equipment supplied from

the GSA/DSA, or Army supply system, and authorized for use at
indicated maintenance categories.

P2 Repair parts, special tools and test equipment which are pro-
cured and stocked for insurance purposes because the combat
or military essentiality of the end item dictates that a
minimum quantity be available in the supply system,

P9 Assigned to items which are NSA design controlled: unique re-

pair parts, special tools, test, measuring and diagnostic
equipment, which are stocked and supplied by the Army COMSEC
Logistic System and which are not subject to the provisions
of AR 380-41.

P10 Assigned to items which are NSA design controlled: special

tools test, measuring and diagnostic equipment for COMSEC
support, which are accountable under the provisions of
AR 380-41, and which are stocked and supplied by the Army
COMSEC Logistic System.

M Repair parts, special tools and test equipment which are not
procured or stocked, as such, in the supply system but are
to be manufactured at indicated maintenance levels.

A Assemblies which are not procured or stocked as such, but are

made up of two or more units. Such component units carry
individual stock numbers and descriptions, are procured and
stocked separately and can be assembled to form the required
assembly at indicated maintenance categories.

X Parts and assemblies that are not procured or stocked because

the failure rate is normally below that of the applicable end
item of component. The failure of such part or assembly
should result in retirement of the end item from the supply
system.
Xl Repair parts which are not procured or stocked. The requirement
for such items will be filled by the next higher assembly or
component.
X2 Repair parts, special tools, and test equipment which are not
stocked and have no foreseen mortality. The indicated main-
tenance category requiring such repair parts will attempt
to obtain the parts through cannibalization or salvage, the
item may be requisitioned with exception data, from the end
item manager, for immediate use.

CODE EXPLANATION

G Major assemblies that are procured with PEMA funds for initial
issue only as exchange assemblies at DSU and GSU level. These
assemblies will not be stocked above the DS and GS level or
returned to depot supply level.
Note: Cannibalization or salvage may be used as a source of supply for
any items source coded above except those coded Xl and aircraft support items
as restricted by AR 700-42.

(2) Maintenance code. Indicates the lowest category of maintenance

authorized to install the listed items. Maintenance codes used are:
CODE EXPLANATION

O Organizational maintenance

F Direct support maintenance

H General support maintenance
(3) R e c o v e r a b i l i t y c o d e . Indicates whether unserviceable items
should be returned for recovery or salvage. Items not coded are expendable.
Recoverability codes used are:

CODE EXPLANATION

R Applies to repair parts and assemblies which are economically

reparable at DSU and GSU activities and are normally fur-
nished by supply on an exchange basis.

T Applies to high dollar value recoverable repair parts which are

subject to special handling and are issued on an exchange
basis. Such repair parts normally are repaired or overhauled
at depot maintenance activities.

U Applies to repair parts specifically selected for salvage by

reclamation units because of precious metal content, critical
materials, or high dollar value reusable casings or castings.
S Applies to repair parts and assemblies which are economically
reparable at DSU and GSU activities and which normally are
furnished by supply on an exchange-basis. When items are
determined by a GSU to be uneconomically reparable, they will
be evacuated to a depot for evaluation and analysis before
final disposition.

b. Federal Stock Number - Column 2. Indicates the FSN assigned to the
item and will be used for requisitioning purposes. Items source coded A, M,
or X1 are not assigned an FSN.

c. Description - Column 3. Indicates the Federal item name and any

additional description of the item required. The description column contains
the following subcolumns:
(1) Reference number and manufacturer’s code. Indicates a part
number or other R/N for the listed item followed by the applicable five-digit
Federal supply code for manufacturers in parentheses.

(2) Usable on code. N o t a p p l i c a b l e .

d. Unit of Measure (U/M) - Column 4. A two-character alphabetic abbrevi-

ation indicating the amount or quantity of the item upon which the allowances
are based (e.g., EA, FT, PR).

e. Quantity Incorporated in Unit - Column 5. Indicates the quantity of

the item used in the assembly. A "V" appearing in this column instead of a
quantity indicates that a definite quantity cannot be shown.

f. Thirty-day GS Maintenance Allowance - Column 6.

(1) The allowance column is divided into three subcolumns. Indicated

in each subcolumn opposite the first appearance of each item, is the total
quantity of items authorized for the number of equipments supported. Subse-
quent appearances of the same item will have the letters "REF" in this column.
Items authorized for use as required, but not for initial stockage, are
identified with an asterisk (*) in the allowance column.

(2) The quantitative allowance for GS level of maintenance will

represent initial stockage for a 30-day period for the number of equipments
supported.

(3) Determination of the total quantity of parts required for mainte-

nance of more than 100 of these equipments can be accomplished by converting
the equipment quantity to a decimal factor by placing a decimal point before
the next to last digit of the number to indicate hundredths, and multiplying
the decimal factor by the parts quantity authorized allowance for 51-100 al-
lowance column. Example: authorized allowance for 51-100 equipments is 40;
for 150 equipments, multiply 40 by 1.50, or 60 parts required.
