Stocked items; use the applicable NSN to request/requisition items with these
source codes. They are authorized to the category indicated by the code entered in
the 3d position of the SMR code.
Items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned individually. They are
part of a kit which is authorized to the maintenance category indicated in the 3d
position of the SMR code. The complete kit must be requisitioned and applied.
Items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned individually. They must
be made from bulk material which is identified by the part number in the
DESCRIPTION and USABLE ON CODE (UOC) column and listed in the Bulk
Material group of the repair parts list in this RPSTL. If the item is authorized to you
by the 3d position code of the SMR code, but the source code indicates it is made at
a higher level, order the item from the higher level of maintenance.
