PREPARATION OF NAVSUP 1250
Personnel on nonautomated ships should submit
requests for material on Single Line Item
Consumption/Management Document (Manual),
NAVSUP 1250. This form was developed to (1) improve
stock control procedures and (2) report consumption
under the Maintenance Data System (MDS) of the Navy
Maintenance and Material Management (3-M) System.
As your department’s representative, you may
present a partially prepared NAVSUP 1250, or one that
is completely prepared by supply personnel. This
depends upon supply department instructions and
existing conditions aboard ship. In either case, you must
furnish certain information. Figure 5-9 shows a partially
prepared NAVSUP 1250 containing the minimum data
you must provide at the time you submit the form to
Supply.
When material is received, the department
representative signs for receipt on the NAVSUP 1250
and is given the yellow copy of the form.
When material is drawn from stock, the “Approved
by” signature (block 30) is not required since the
engineer officer has already authorized certain persons
to draw material either by memo or credit card.
USE OF NAVSUP 1348-6
Some repair parts do not have NSNs, and they are
not carried in the supply system. This is largely because
(1) the equipment is quite old, and (2) some equipment
is supplied by many different manufacturers. It is not
practical to invest large sums of money in inventory that
has limited use.
When you need a repair part and it has no NSN, the
supply department will have to order the part with the
manufacturer’s part or reference number as its
identification. To ensure that the supply activity can
process the requisition, complete the identification data
portion of the NAVSUP 1348-6 and submit it with the
NAVSUP 1250. Supply then forwards the completed
NAVSUP 1348-6 to the supply activity, which can
cross-reference the part to an NSN, if one is assigned,
or purchase it from the manufacturer. Figure 5-10 shows
an example of NAVSUP 1348-6.
NOT IN STOCK/NOT CARRIED (NIsS/NC)
TRANSACTIONS
We said earlier in the chapter that the storeroom
cannot provide all repair parts. If an item is not carried
(NC) or not in stock (NIS), the supply department uses
the NAVSUP 1250 to prepare a direct turnover (DTO)
requisition for the material. A DTO requisition requires
an approval signature, and it requires that an
urgency-of-need designator be assigned in block 3 of
NAVSUP 1250. We’ll discuss the urgency-of-need
designator later in the chapter when we deal with
priorities.
An NIS/NC request offers an opportunity to verify
the accuracy of the COSAL. Block 17 of the NAVSUP
1250 must be marked to indicate whether or not the
