Explanation of Columns (Sect. IV).

a. NATIONAL STOCK NUMBER (NSN) INDEX.

(1) STOCK NUMBER column. This column lists the NSN by National

item identification number (NIIN) sequence. The NIIN consists of the last nine

NSN

digits of the NSN (i.e., 5305-01-674-1467). When using this column to locate

NIIN

an item, ignore the first 4 digits of the NSN. However, the complete NSN

should be used when ordering items by stock number.

(2) FIG. column. This column lists the number of the figure where

the item is identified/located. The figures are in numerical order in Section

(3) ITEM column. The item number identifies the item associated

with the figure listed in the adjacent FIG. column. This item is also

identified by the NSN listed on the same line.

b. PART NUMBER INDEX. Part numbers in this index are listed by part

number in ascending alphanumeric sequence (i.e. , vertical arrangement of

letter and number combination which places the first letter or digit of each

group in order A through Z, followed by the numbers O through 9 and each

following letter or digit in like order).

(1) FSCM column. The Federal Supply Code for Manufacturer (FSCM)

is a 5-digit numeric code used to identify the manufacturer, distributor, or

Government agency, etc., that supplies the item.

(2) PART NUMBER column. Indicates the primary number used by the

manufacturer (individual, firm, corporation, or Government activity), which

controls the design and characteristics of the item by means of its

engineering drawings, specifications standards, and inspection requirements to

identify an item or range of items.

(3) STOCK NUMBER column. This column lists the NSN for the

associated part number and manufacturer identified in the PART NUMBER and FSCM

columns to the left.

(4) FIG. column. This column lists the number of the figure where

the item is identified/located in Section II and III.

(5) ITEM column. The item number is that number assigned to the

item as it appears in the figure referenced in the adjacent figure number

column.
