• MIL/FED - Identifies Military/Federal specifications that the item must meet. In this search the field is blank because a specification is not available or applicable.
• CAT Code - Category (CAT) codes are assigned to items such as parts, and include such items as preformed packing and gaskets identified to a part number and CAGE. Examples are filter elements, and other replacement parts required by MRCs and appearing on APL/AELs. This code is to facilitate the handling and distribution of the SPMIG item. A CAT code of three
• HAZMAT Group Code - This field is blank because the part does not require a HAZMAT group code.
• Modifier - This field is blank because there is no modifier for this item.

  CN-1.50-862BC-A PIECE 4 is 01-207-1538. If you click on this link, you are taken to a Details/Summary page with FLIS Header Segment A information, the Master Cross Reference List (MCRL) data, and Management List - Consolidated (ML-C) data. You can click any of the links under the sentence, "This NIIN was also found in the following databases. Any underlined databases are linked to this NIIN.
• CAGE - The CAGE is a company code that links to a snapshot view of CORE INDUSTRIES INC, a firm that manufactures and/or distributes this gasket which was procured by the U.S. Government.
• APL - The APL for this gasket is 755077004. When you click on the link, your search crosses over to the APL/AEL database where you can view FLSIP data and component characteristics.
• Sub CAT Code - This field is blank because there is no sub category code for this item.
• Disposal Method - This field is blank because the gasket does not require a safety disposal method. The Disposal Method is listed at the end of MRCs to aid in disposal of hazardous material.
