MEDICAL MATERIEL CLASSIFICATIONS ACTIONS
1.
This section of the DA SB 8-75 series has been automated in an effort to provide
each activity with the most current materiel classification actions regarding the
assignment and availability of NSNs, in addition to MCN.NSN deletion/replacement
actions. Section II of this Supply Bulletin contains the following sections:
a. Availability Announcements of NSNs.
b. Revised Availability Announcements of NSNs.
c. Federal Supply Class Changes.
d. Deleted/Replacements.
2.
"AVAILABILITY ANNOUNCEMENTS OF NATIONAL STOCK NUMBERS."
This will list newly assigned NSNs with descriptive data and availability date.
Newly assigned NSNs with AAC "L" will reflect an availability date ("Aval Date") equal to
the date the NSN was assigned. An NSN with AAC "D" will reflect the date when item is
to be available from depot stock. NSNs (AAC "D") pending a valid availability date will
not be announced until a date is known.
3.
"REVISED AVAILABILITY ANNOUNCEMENTS OF NATIONAL STOCK
NUMBERS."
Items listed with in this part will reflect NSNs previously announced as available,
however, due to an AAC change a new availability data is being assigned (that is, items
reclassified from AAC (L" to "D"). The absence of an availability date indicates the item
is not yet available under the new AAC. NSNs with an Interchangeable and Substitute
(I&S) relationship to another NSN are noted adjacent to the word `RELATIONSHIP' for
information purposes only. The monthly ARMS Army Master Data File (ARMS) should
be consulted for the explanation of the relationship.
4.
"FEDERAL SUPPLY CLASS CHANGES."
These changes will list newly assigned NSNs in which only the FSC has been
changed. The old and new NSN will be reflected.
5.
"LISTING OF MCN/NSN DELETED/REPLACEMENTS."
This section lists MCN/NSNs that are deleted, and if available an authorized
replacement NSN.
