NIMSC Codes
Non-Consumable Item Material Support Codes (NIMSC) identify the degree of support received by an individual Secondary Inventory Control Activity (SICA) or identify the Service(s) performing depot maintenance for a Lead Service (Primary Inventory Control Activity (PICA)).
A non-consumable item has been defined as an item of supply (NSN) which is managed by one or more Military Services as a non-consumable (for example: a major end item, a depot reparable, or a non-stock-funded consumable). A service management mix of consumable-end items, consumable-depot reparable, etc, is therefore considered as a non-consumable and is not authorized the PICA-LOA 06/SICA-LOA 67 identity for Integrated Materiel Manager/Service Item Control Center (IMM/SICC) relationships.
NIMSC code definitions are maintained in the document, NATO ACodP-1 Manual, and the FEDERAL LOGISTICS INFORMATION SYSTEM - FLIS PROCEDURES MANUAL MULTIPLE APPLICATION REFERENCES/INSTRUCTIONS/TABLES AND GRIDS, DoD 4100.39-M Volume 10.
NIMSC Code Table
Codes Applicable to SICA (Level of Authority (LOA) 8D Only):
| NIMSC | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exception Item (End Item of Equipment). This code identifies SICA managed end items of equipment assigned to another service PICA that is responsible for the wholesale logistics support functions of single submitter of cataloging data, acquisition and disposal authority. Supply support requirements will be submitted by the SICA to the PICA on Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests (MIPRs) unless otherwise directed by the PICA. The SICA is responsible for the wholesale stock, store, and issue functions in support of SICA activities and has retained depot repair capability where applicable. Retention of depot maintenance capability for end items of equipment requires documented justification by the SICA to the PICA via JLC Form 19. If PICA and SICA cannot reach an agreement, the documentation will be forwarded to the joint MISMOs for a decision. The SICA Catalog Management Data (CMD) will reflect Source of Supply or SOS Modifiers compatible with the SICA managing activity. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services Integrated Materiel Manager (IMM) field. |
| 2 | Exception Item (Depot Reparable Component or SICA Managed Consumable). This code identifies SICA managed depot reparable components, or SICA managed consumables wherein the SICA cannot use repaired items, assigned to another service which has responsibility for the logistics functions of single submitter of cataloging data, acquisition and disposal authority. Supply support requirements will be submitted by the SICA to the PICA on MIPRs unless otherwise directed by PICA. The SICA service has retained the wholesale stock, store, and issue functions in support of SICA activities and has retained depot repair capability, where applicable. Retention of depot maintenance capability for the depot reparable components requires documented justification by the SICA to the PICA via JLC Form 9. If the PICA and SICA cannot reach an agreement, the documentation will be forwarded to the joint MISMOs for a decision. The SICA CMD will reflect Source of Supply or SoS Modifiers compatible with the SICA managing activity. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
| 3 | End Item Primary Inventory Control Activity. This code identifies SICA managed end items or equipment assigned to another service PICA that is responsible for the wholesale logistics support functions of single submitter of cataloging data, acquisition and disposal authority and depot maintenance, if required, to be provided by DMISA. Supply support requirements will be submitted by the SICA to the PICA on MIPRs unless otherwise directed by the PICA. The SICA is responsible for the wholesale stock, store, and issue functions for SICA activities. The SICA CMD will reflect Source of Supply or SOS Modifiers compatible with the SICA managing activity. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
| 4 | Depot Reparable Component. (Type I Temporary). This code identifies SICA managed depot reparable components assigned to another service PICA that is responsible for the logistics functions of single submitter of cataloging data, acquisition and disposal authority and depot maintenance to be provided by DMISA. Supply support requirements will be submitted by the SICA to the PICA on MIPRs unless otherwise directed by the PICA. The SICA is responsible for the wholesale stock, store and issue functions for SICA activities. This code is temporarily assigned to items which have not completed Phase II item review processing. The SICA CMD will reflect Source of Supply or SOS Modifiers compatible with the SICA managing activity. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
| 5 | Depot Reparable Component (Type II). This code identifies SICA managed depot reparable components assigned to another service which is responsible for the logistics functions of single submitter cataloger, acquisition and disposal authority, depot maintenance, and performs the wholesale stock, store, and issue functions and establishes, budgets, and funds the wholesale stock level requirement. Supply requirements will be submitted to the PICA on requisitions which are funded by a designated point within the SICA. Unserviceable SICA assets will normally be returned to the PICA for credit. The SICA will provide item/program data required by the PICA to meet the materiel support commitments. Normally, Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests (MIPR) will not be requested by the PICA to support SICA NIMSC 5 requirements. The SICA CMD will reflect Source of Supply or SOS Modifiers compatible with the SICA managing activity. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
| 6 | Requisitioning Activity Funded Items. This code identifies items wherein SICA activities have been authorized by their parent Service to submit requisitions directly to the PICA. These items are usually managed as consumable (expense) items by the SICA Service. The SICA CMD will reflect the Source of Supply or Source of Supply Modifiers compatible with the PICA managing activities and may reflect the Acquisition Advice Code (AAC) of the PICA. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
| 7 | Joint Conventional Ammunition Production (JCAP) Cognizance. This item is under JCAP cognizance and supply support will be determined by the DoD Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition. Provisions of the regulation will not apply. The SICA CMD will reflect Source of Supply or Source of Supply Modifier Codes compatible with the SICA managing activity. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
| 8 | Depot Reparable Component (Type I). This code identifies SICA managed depot reparable components which have been reviewed for migration to Type II, but will be retained under Type I management. The PICA will have responsibility for the logistics functions of single submitter cataloging data, acquisition and disposal authority, and depot maintenance to be provided by DMISA. Supply support requirements will be submitted by the SICA to the PICA via MIPRs unless otherwise directed by the PICA. The SICA is responsible for wholesale stock, store, and issue functions for SICA activities. The SICA Source of Supply/Source of Supply Modifier and Acquisition Advice Code will appear in the SICA CMD. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
| 9 | Exception Item (Depot Maintenance Review Not Completed). This code identifies items wherein assignment for depot repair has not been established. PICA responsibilities are limited to single submitter of cataloging data, acquisition and disposal authority. Upon completion of depot maintenance review, and assignment for depot repair is made, code 9 items will be reassigned to code 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 8. The SICA CMD will reflect the Source of Supply or SOS Modifiers compatible with the SICA managing activities. The PICA will not be entered in the DLA Transaction Services IMM field. |
| 0 | This code is assigned to wholesale inter-service supply support agreement (LOA 8D only). The SICA CMD reflects the SOS/SOSM and AAC compatible with the PICA. The PICA will not be entered in the Logistics Information Services IMM field. |
