Demilitarization Code
A code that identifies each item requiring demilitarization and the type of demilitarization required. This is a code that dictates what must happen to an item when it is no longer being used by the military. For example, something like the tuba used in a military band can be disposed of (e.g., sold by open auction) with no demilitarization required. A 2.5 ton truck can also be auctioned; however, certain items within the truck may not be for commercial use and must be removed prior to releasing the truck.
Demilitarization Integrity Code
The code that represents the recommended DEMIL Code's status and relationship with demilitarization (DEMIL). The integrity code determines the status of the DEMIL Code itself, which tells users whether they can simply proceed with the instructions found in the DEMIL Code or if further consideration is required, prior to making a decision on an item.

Item Identifier NSN
The Item Identifier National Stock Number (NSN) is a 13-digit number assigned to a part under the federal cataloging program. The first four digits of the National Stock Number are the Federal Supply Class (FSC) of the part. The last nine digits are the National Item Identification Number (NIIN) of the part.
Item Name
The approved name of the item (as established by the Federal Cataloging Program) may assist in verifying the item prior to requisitioning. The length of an item's name is restricted to its first 19 characters. The item name is usually made up of a basic name such as "saw" which covers a broad area of related items, followed by modifiers such as "hand crosscut."

It can also identify the service performing depot maintenance for a lead service Primary Inventory Control Activity (PICA). A non-consumable item is defined as an item of supply that is managed by one or more military services as a non-consumable (i.e., major end item, depot repairable or non-stock-funded consumable). A service management mix of consumable-end items, consumable-depot repairable, etc., is therefore considered as a non-consumable and is not authorized by the PICA-LOA06/SIC-LOA67 for weapons integrated relationships.

NCIMSC
NCIMSC (Non-consumable Item Material Support Code) identifies the degree of support received by an Individual Secondary Control Activity (SICA) or identifies the service performing depot maintenance for a lead service (Primary Inventory Control Activity (PICA)). A non-consumable item is defined as an item of supply that is managed by one or more military services as a non-consumable (i.e., major end item, depot reparable, or non-stock-funded consumable). A service management mix of consumable-end items, consumable-depot reparable, etc., is therefore considered a non-consumable and is not authorized by the PICA-LOA06/SIC-LOA67 for weapons integrated relationships.

The downward directed costs are other agency costs (for example DLSC and DASSO), and depreciation, inflation, plus others. (2). Operational Cost Recovery (OCR) is divided between sales at LAC and sales at LRC. For example, if 40% of sales are LAC sales, 40% of OCR will be included in the standard price. Likewise, if 60% of sales are LRC sales, 60% of OCR will be included in the exchange price. Therefore, there will be LAC OCR and LRC OCR.
