9–5

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

for DRMS activities. During the record establishment, a FES notification of the turn-in is transmittedto each recorded DOD wholesale manager (inventory control point/integrated materiel manager (ICP/IMM)). The DOD ICP/IMM shall validate all FES notifications which match requirements data andpurchase status maintained in the RDS master files to determine if the materiel is required. Assetscan be requisitioned directly from DRMS via RDS.

9.6.2. Plant Clearance Automated Reutilization Screening System (PCARSS). Upon termination,expiration, completion or changes to a contract, excess materiel (raw materiel, purchased parts, fin-ished products, and miscellaneous) is reported by the contractor to the PCARSS. PCARSS refersnational stock numbered (NSN) and non-NSN items to the ICP monitor. Contractor(s) that have noaccess to PCARSS will submit manual screening list to the Plant Clearance Officer (PLCO) who willforward this information directly to the ICP Monitors. For additional guidance on PCARSS refer toSection F of this chapter.

Section 9B—DEFENSE MATERIEL REUTILIZATION AND DISPOSITION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.

9.18. Purpose. This section provides guidance and direction for operation of the Defense Materiel Reuti-lization/Disposition Management Program within the Air Force ALCs/ICPs. RDS implements and mech-anizes the following four functions:

9.18.1. Front End Screening (FES).

9.18.2. Excess Review List (ERL).

9.18.3. Reclamation.

9–6

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.18.3.1. Programmed Reclamation.

9.18.3.2. Non-Programmed Reclamation.

9.18.3.3. End Item Reclamation.

9.18.4. Disposal/Rebuy Identification/Analysis.

9.19. System Operations.

9.19.1. RDS uses data obtained from various segments of the requirements computation systems,cataloging management system, Air Force procurement systems, and supply posture systems to pro-duce data used in management and control of the Defense Materiel Utilization and Disposition Man-agement Program.

9.19.2. RDS users are notified of pending workload upon login to the system.

9.19.3. The system maintains a record of assets and requirements for reclamation, utilization, anddisposal processes.

9.19.4. Only national stock numbered items are maintained. However, RDS will display data forreview and disposition of non-cataloged (ND) items and certain Acquisition Advice Codes (AAC)which define obsolete items. The Kit numbered assets may be inducted at the manager’s discretion.

9.19.5. The induction of the latest computation data will archive existing in-process work flow activ-ities; however, items in suspended status will not be archived.

9.19.6. RDS provides “Help” links and system operation information.

9.19.6.1. The “RDS TRAINING SIMULATION” is located within the “HELP” hyperlink func-tion (this will open a new browser to display this function, it will not close the RDS browser).

9.19.6.2. The ”CHECKLIST” function maintained in RDS organizes specific checklists withinthe appropriate functional area (e.g. for help with working the quarterly Excess Review (DPCO“Push”) or with “User Initiated Excess Review” (IMS Initiated “Pull”). Follow these steps: Clickon “HELP”, then “CHECKLIST”, then “AIR FORCE CHECKLISTS”, then “ASSETS”, then“EXCESS REVIEW”. Included within the checklist are specific instructions for each user role.

9.19.7. The current excess review cycle compares the requirements computation systems data for thesubgroup master NSN to the latest asset data from Stock Control System. The output displays alllinked family members. The Excess Review Listing (ERL) may be limited to specified criteria at thediscretion of each ALC/ICP. However, manual disposal actions may be entered by authorized users.These transactions may be prohibited by RDS if the subgroup master exists currently within work-flow (see workflow error notice).

9.19.8. System capabilities also include: subgroup master recall to work basket, work in progressdata, help hyperlinks embedded throughout the system display data element definitions, and addi-tional management data to assist the user in making informed decisions. Within the “TABLES” func-tion of RDS, system users are able to view “Workflow Timeout” criteria and “Approval RangeTable”. These tables are maintained by the RDS site functional OPR(s).

9.19.9. When approved actions exit the work basket, all transactions are archived in accordance withCFO compliance. Those disposal transactions will result in an A0A/VD within RDS to SCS whichformats an A5J to the storage site. FES acceptance transactions will generate an A0A for transmis-sion by D035A to DRMS for withdrawal of assets from DRMO. Help links and checklists provide the

9–7

users with specific step by step actions for each FES activity within the RDS environment.

9.20. Stratification of Requirement and Asset Data.

9.20.1. The logic used to stratify requirements by type and assets by segmentation code is containedin the applicable regulatory guidelines for the requirements computation systems.

9.20.2. Air Force wholesale retention policy is outlined in AFI 23-501 and section 9D of this chapter.The references contained therein will be used extensively in making retention and disposal decisions.

9.20.3. Asset and requirement data records are produced from each final requirements computationand passed to RDS for use in formulating various activities associated with management of assets.

9.21. Materiel Requirements Data. The requirements data maintained in RDS are organized within the“ORDERS” function and are used to determine or identify FES and Reclamation (programmed and non-programmed).

9.22. Asset Stratification Data.

9.22.1. The asset stratification data maintained in RDS are organized under the “ASSETS” functionand are identified as Excess Review.

9.22.2. Asset records for the subgroup Master NSN, including both unserviceable and serviceable(A2U and A2S Potential Reutilization Quantity), are compared to the most current AFMC inventorybalances recorded in the SCS. This comparison determines availability of assets within the Subgroupby actual National Stock Number (NSN) within the Interchangeability and Substitutability (I & S)group.

9.23. Reserved For Future Use.

9.24. Repair Requirements.

9.24.1. Updated repair requirements data are passed daily to RDS. The updates reflect the negotiatedquantities based on output requirements and stratified to different precedence levels according toneed. This data is in the form of an "R2" current year repair requirement by I & S subgroup master, asrevised or adjusted by the inventory management specialist (IMS) during the review period.

9.24.2. If the D075 system repair requirement changes, the RDS system record will be updated to theD075 system quantity. If there is no RDS system "R2" record, the RDS system will establish one.

9.25. Base Excess Quantities.

9.25.1. The RIMCS (in RAMP) directs unserviceable base-level material to repair, storage, or dis-posal. AFMAN 23-110, Volume 3, Part 3, Chapter 28 is currently being written to provide detailsexplaining how to use RIMCS for base level disposal. NOTE: Equipment items are not visible inRAMP.

9.25.2. The AWP Process (in RAMP) directs retention, return, or disposal of base level assets inAWP status in base maintenance. AFMAN 23-110, Volume 3, Part 3, Chapter 29 is currently beingwritten to provide details explaining how to use the AWP process for base level disposal. NOTE:Equipment items are not visible in RAMP.

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.25.3. To view equipment items located in a base warehouse, access AFEMS (C001) screens Asset-Validation or Asset-Base/Depot.

9.26. Reserved for Future use.

9.27. Utilization Screening of Kits . Disassembly and disposition of kits will be accomplished in accor-dance with AFMCMAN 25-1, Repair Parts Kits Users Manual.

9.28. Interservice Utilization of Supply System Stocks. Policy and procedures for Interservice SupplySupport are located in AFLCR 400-21/AMC-R 700-99/NAVSUPINST 4790.7/MCO P4410.22C, Whole-sale Inventory Management and Logistics Support of Multiservice Used Nonconsumable Items.

9.29. Reserved for Future use.

9.30. Reserved for Future use.

9.31. Front End Screening (FES) (Push Process). The RDS generated FES (system “push” process) islocated under the “ORDERS” function of the RDS Display. The FES process, which is offered world-wide, is extremely time sensitive and should be worked within timeframes established by local workflowtimeout tables.

9.31.1. The Defense Reutilization Marketing Service (DRMS) maintains a mechanized record on theDefense Automated Information System (DAISY) of Service defined excess assets located in eachDRMO. As each DRMO receipt is recorded in the DAISY, a DRMS program called Front EndScreening (FES) determines the wholesale manager and provides notification of asset availability.This notification is provided daily to RDS for processing.

9.31.2. In response to FES referrals, RDS logic reviews known requirements positions, current Pur-chase Request (PR) status and current contracts with deliverables. FES referrals meeting any or all ofthese criteria will result in a FES candidate being placed in the site FES monitor’s workbasket. Theseactions will be forwarded to the applicable product directorate through the workflow process. Theuser will view the FES candidate, by clicking the “ORDERS” button and drop down selection of“FES” and “Workbasket”.

9.31.2.1. The inventory management specialist (IMS) will conduct a review of all items listed.Justification for rejection or acceptance of assets having a valid requirement may be requiredwithin system prompts (pop-up messages). Assets will not be marked for return unless there is avalid requirement.

9.31.2.2. Certain restrictions are inherent in the system design, based on business rules and appli-cable regulations.

9.31.2.2.1. A “Preventable”/“Non-preventable” notation block will display to the user whenthe Disposal Turn In Document (DTID) originated at the owning (requisitioning) site. Theuser will be required, via drop down selection menu, to define whether the original disposalaction was “Preventable” or “Non Preventable” and select the appropriate definition code.The definition of the Preventable/Non Preventable reason will appear in the comments sectionassigned to the item manager determining this reason. The N (Non Preventable) or P (Pre-ventable) will be stored in the data base attached to the subgroup master for HQ AFMC pro-

gram analysis. (The N and P values are used to generate the Disposal Withdrawal/CoralReduce report.)

9.31.2.2.2. System logic for this “Push” process prevents requisitioning of quantities greaterthan the displayed requirements/due-in position.

9.32. User Initiated Front End Screening (FES) (“Pull” Process). The RDS “ORDERS” Button andDrop Down Selection “FES”, “USER INITIATED” provides the user with the capability to directly queryDRMS stocks by FSC, NIIN or NOUN. The definition of the Preventable/Non Preventable reason willappear in the comments section assigned to the item manager determining this reason. The N(Non Pre-ventable) or P (Preventable) will be stored in the data base attached to the subgroup master for HQ AFMCprogram analysis. (The N and P values are used to generate the Disposal Withdrawal/Coral Reducereport.) Only item managers can initiate requisitions for DRMS held materiel.

9.33. Demilitarization of Excess Items. Activities engaged in the processing of weapon systems fortransfer, donation, static display, and disposal shall comply with demilitarization policies and proceduresprescribed in this chapter and in AFMAN 23-110,Volume 6, Chapter 7, Excess and Surplus PersonalProperty.

9.34. Reserved for Future use.

9.35. Disposal of Excess Assets.

9.35.1. There are two methods within RDS to dispose of excess assets. One is based on excess posi-tion passed to RDS from the requirements computation systems. The second is user initiated andapplies to, but is not limited to, Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) Kit Items, ModificationKit, “ND” numbers and any Air Force Managed NSN that the IMS determines to be excess. All,however, must relate directly to an assigned RDS wholesale IMS/ES/Supervisory “string” in order toprogress through the workflow process. Processing of disposals is limited to Supply Condition Codes“A – H”.

9.35.2. Certain restrictions are inherent to the system design, based on business rules and applicableregulations. Specific examples follow but are not all inclusive.

9.35.2.1. FSC 70XX and/or JZ MMAC (ADPE).

9.35.2.2. Certification of Hard Drive Disposition (Degaussing). See Office of the Secretary ofDefense Policy Memo, 4 Jun 01, Disposition of Unclassified DOD Computer Hard Drives.

9.35.2.3. PD Letter of Waiver required.

9.35.2.4. ND # - IM will be required to provide clear text memo prior to transfer to DRMO.Attachment 9B-5 is a sample format disposal addendum sheet.

9.35.2.5. DEMIL Code.

9.35.2.5.1. Demilitarization code “F” requires special DEMIL Instructions. See Section F.

9.35.2.5.2. Demilitarization code “G” requires inert certification; if not attached to the item,forward to Maintenance with AF Form 206 to obtain inert certification. DEMIL Code “G”will only be applied to Ammunition, Explosives, and Dangerous Articles (AEDA) items thatare unclassified.

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.35.2.5.3. Demilitarization code “P” requires AF Form 206 for Declassification prior tobeing sent to DRMO. See Section F of this chapter for additional guidance. The assignmentof DEMIL Code “P” to an item designates it as Munitions List Items (Significant MilitaryEquipment) containing security classified items. This code will also be assigned to classifiedAEDA items.

9.35.2.5.4. Classified and hazardous items are not acceptable to the DRMO until after declas-sification and/or demilitarization by the maintenance activity. Components, for which validrequirements exist, will be reclaimed from excess end items prior to disposal. Upon comple-tion of the required declassification, demilitarization, and/or reclamation, the residue (identi-fied to the actual NSN of the asset) will be forwarded to the Supply activity by themaintenance organization accomplishing the demilitarization or reclamation action. Excessclassified and hazardous items will be processed according to AFI 31-401, Managing theInformation Security Program, and DOD 4160.21-M, as applicable. Reclamation will be pro-cessed according to AFLCR 65-31.

9.35.2.5.5. Upon completion of the AFMC Form 206 requirement, the maintenance activitywill turn in the residue, segregated by NSN, to the local supply. Supply will complete the dis-posal turn-in process. The DTID will contain a certification and authorized signature to theeffect that declassification and/or demilitarization has been accomplished. Reference DOD4160.21-M-1.

9.35.2.5.6. For end items requiring reclamation, process an intercondition transfer to transferall the items from their present condition to condition code "P." End items meeting conditionsstated in AFMAN 23-110, Volume 3, Part 3, Chapter 2, paragraph 2.21 may be transferred tocondition code "P" for future reclamation action.

9.35.2.6. Retail Supply Criticality Codes “C” and “S”. Wholesale IMS contacts Retail IM forremoval of code.

9.35.3. RDS Quarterly Excess Review List (ERL). ERL is located under “ASSETS” function ofRDS Display.

9.35.3.1. RDS generated ERL (“Push” process). User will view ERL candidate “ASSETS” but-ton and drop down selection “EXCESS”,“EXCESS REVIEW”, and “WORKBASKET”. TheIMS will conduct a review of all items and code for retention or disposal. Suggested disposal can-didates are displayed by least preferred Air Force Order of Use (AFOOU) and least preferred sup-ply condition.

9.36. Review of Excess Items Prior to Approval for Disposal.

9.36.1. All potential reutilization (excess) items must be reviewed prior to disposal to insure that noknown or projected requirements exist. This review will include exploring possible needs due to nexthigher assembly application, possible modification to a usable configuration, uses for other than itsintended purpose and reclamation of component parts. This review may result in the retention of com-puted excess assets. RDS incorporates direct interface with application and parts indenture databasesto provide the user with information and requirements position of components of end items autho-rized/approved for disposal. These data will provide enough information to the End Item IMS/ES/Supervisor to make an informed decision whether to initiate end item reclamation through the “sur-vey” process. Policy for End Item Reclamation is contained in AFLCR 65-31 (this publication isbeing rewritten as AFMAN 23-111).

9–11

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.36.2. The review and coordination of the computed excess should be accomplished either duringthe requirements computation process and/or during the reviewing/coding of the computed excesswithin RDS. A coordinated effort among the IMS/ES and appropriate supervisory levels is dictatedby RDS workflow logic. The ES must coordinate on all excess review NSNs coded for disposal orretention decisions forwarded by the IMS to the ES. In addition, the ES is required to validate theDEMIL/CIIC codes and may be required to initiate cataloging actions to correct these codes. Pendingcataloging action will result in suspension of RDS activity for the Subgroup Master. Suspensionaction occurs at the point of last required approval level, returning to the IM workbasket. Suspendeditem will exit workflow when the cataloging action is complete. In situations where the IMS and EScannot agree on asset disposition action, the decision will be elevated off line to the appropriate IMS/ES supervisory level.

9.36.3. If the IMS/ES has insufficient knowledge to review the NSN in question, the program man-ager (PM) and the system manager (SM) and their system engineer(s) should be consulted in anoffline discussion.

9.36.4. The user may override (increase or decrease) potential reutilization quantities (system sug-gested excess) via input of a retention quantity. This action will reduce the system suggested disposalquantity. For a partial disposal there must be a retention code and a disposal code input to process thetransaction.

9.36.5. On all retention decisions, partial or complete, the IMS may need to accomplish correspond-ing file maintenance changes (e.g., "R" code assignment, adjusted/corrected levels) into the require-ments computation system to preclude printout on future ERLs and to reactivate inaccurately codeditems (AAC V, X or Y) via cataloging actions.

9.36.6. Retention/disposal reason codes are compatible with the application listed and the commod-ity of item being reviewed. For example: Retention or disposal reason codes are compatible withactive/obsolete weapon system/end item applications; disposal reason codes are compatible withobsolete weapon system/end item application; disposal reason code denoting disposal authorizedbecause item is consumable unserviceable and is applicable to ERRC Designator"XB3"/"XF3" codeditems; immediate action was taken to reactivate DSP/NON-PUB items not coded for disposal.

9.36.7. Prior to the induction of a new computation cycle in RDS the site DPCO must coordinatewith RDS site OPR and corresponding site RPCO/ FES monitors. The induction of the latest compu-tation data will archive existing in-process work flow activities. The DPCO will be contacted forassistance if it appears that the IMS/ES will not complete action on the NSN by suspense date.

9.37. RDS Reclamation (Programmed/Non Programmed, for Engines and complete Aircraft).

Reclamation is located under “ORDERS” function of RDS display.

9.37.1. RDS generated Reclamation (“Push” process). User will view Reclamation candidate“ORDERS” button and drop down selection “RECLAMATION”, “RECLAMATION WORKBAS-KET”.

Section 9C—MANAGEMENT OF THE DISPOSITION PROGRAM AND DIRECTED DISPOSAL FREEZES.

9–15

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.47. General. This section prescribes policies and responsibilities for managing the AF disposition pro-gram. The provisions of this section are applicable to all AF Air Logistics Centers/Inventory ControlPoints (ALCs/ICPs), Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) depot supply activities, and other concernedAFMC organizations.

9.48. Management Review of Inventory Control Point Controlled Excess Assets.

9.48.1. Determined excesses must be processed to the disposal activity in a timely manner. RDS willproduce, on a quarterly cycle, the Excess Review Listing (ERL) for inventory management specialist(IMS) review and disposal and/or retention action. The ERL will be approved and justified accord-ing to the signature level criteria determined locally.

9.48.2. The Product Directorate (PD) will insure the IMS accomplishes the required review actionwithin the prescribed time period, and that necessary revisions and cancellations directed by the IMSare accomplished.

9.48.3. The success of the AF disposition program is dependent upon the ALC/ICP processing of alldocuments produced from one cycle prior to the next quarterly cycle output. Management attentionmust be focused toward this accomplishment; the most effective means of accomplishing this is toensure that internal self inspections specified in Section A of this chapter, paragraph 9.4.1.5, areestablished and current.

9.49. Disposal Freeze Notice Criteria.

9.49.1. A disposal freeze notice is a formal written directive issued by HQ AFMC to withhold certainspecified materiel from disposal action for a definite period of time. Disposal freezes will not beimposed unless fully justified and will be lifted as soon as a firm program is known that can be incor-porated into the normal requirements computation. The formal written directive will state the expira-tion date for all freezes.

9.49.2. A disposal freeze may be generated by HQ USAF, HQ AFMC, or as a result of a request froman ALC/ICP. HQ AFMC will control the issuance of disposal freezes. A disposal freeze may beestablished by weapon system, federal supply code (FSC), commodity, or individual item.

9.49.3. HQ AFMC/LGIR with coordinated input from other HQ AFMC directorates, as applicable, isresponsible for final approval or disapproval of all requests for disposal freezes and any revisions orextensions thereto.

9.49.4. The HQ AFMC/LGIR Disposition Program Control Office (DPCO) is responsible for assign-ing the freeze control number to disposal freeze directives, maintaining a consolidated record of allfreezes, and publishing a list of active freezes periodically.

9.49.5. HQ AFMC/LGIR will review and evaluate requests for a disposal freeze and will take one ofthe following actions:

9.49.5.1. Concur in the request and prepare the freeze notice, revision, or extension, as appropri-ate. Approved disposal freezes will be forwarded to all ALCs/ICPs for the DPCO within theLogistics Management Directorate.

9.49.5.2. Return the request to the requesting activity for further justification and substantiationwhen information furnished is considered incomplete or inadequate.

9.49.5.3. Return the disapproved request to the requesting activity with rationale for disapproval.

9–16

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.49.6. HQ AFMC/LGIR will accomplish an annual review and evaluation of existing disposalfreezes and disposal freeze policies. This review will take place prior to the June computation. Infor-mation obtained from HQ USAF and from the ALCs/ICPs, as well as the most current programmingand statistical data, is used. The ALCs/ICPs will be requested to submit their recommendation andcomplete justification for extension, revision, or cancellation of all freezes to HQ AFMC.

9.49.7. The ALCs/ICPs may initiate a request at any time for a formal disposal freeze notice, revi-sion, or cancellation. The request will be submitted to HQ AFMC/LGIR.

9.49.7.1. The DPCO will be the contact point between HQ AFMC and the ALC/ICP IMS/systemmanager (SM) divisions in regard to disposal freeze notices. The DPCO will administer all dis-posal freeze directives according to these procedures, coordinate on all requests for disposalfreezes initiated by the ALC/ICP, and insure all required information and substantiation for thefreeze are furnished.

9.49.7.2. The DPCO will maintain records on all active freeze notices and will distribute copiesto the appropriate ALC/ICP activities. The DPCO will insure that all offices involved are notifiedand that involved ALC/ICP activities are complying with the freeze directives.

9.49.7.3. The DPCO must insure that the IMS has the latest information on active disposalfreezes prior to each requirements computation for input or deletion of appropriate codes. Whenthere is any doubt as to the currency of disposal freezes, the DPCO will contact HQ AFMC/LGIRand confirm the latest status.

9.49.8. The IMS/SM will comply with the procedures contained in AFMCMAN 23-1, Requirementsfor Secondary Items (D200A, D200N) and other applicable regulations for update of their disposaldeferred application tables. This action will preclude potential excess records from being passed tothe RDS system for those items involved in the freeze.

9.49.8.1. In those cases where an item has multiple applications and all applications are coded"P" (peculiar); all Potential Reutilization (PR) quantities for the item will be frozen by the require-ments data systems. However, if one or more of the item applications are coded "P" but at leastone other application is not coded "P," it will be necessary for the IMS to manually file maintainthe item to insure that the appropriate excess PR assets are frozen.

9.49.8.2. The IMS can, when justified, assign a deferred disposal code "R" by master stock num-ber to the requirements data systems. Use of the “R” code requires written approval from themanaging ALC/ICP Product Director assigned management of the item in question and coordina-tion from the ALC/ICP LGM organization. For historical and audit purposes, The IMS mustretain current written justification specifying what NSNs must be kept, why, how much, and forhow long. Use of the “R” code will result in excess assets stratifying into the contingency reten-tion segment of the central secondary item stratification (CSIS) report and into the retention quan-tity passed to the RDS system. The “R” code is preferred over HQ AFMC controlled deferreddisposal codes “C” and “P” because the “R” is applied to the specific NSNs that must be retained.However, an AFMC directed freeze by application will take precedence over the IMS assigneddeferred disposal code "R." AFMC directed freeze using deferred disposal code "C" or "P" willresult in all PR assets stratifying into the contingency retention segment of the CSIS report.

9.49.8.3. Regardless of a disposal freeze application; there will be cases, by individual item,where continued disposal action would be appropriate. These are the types of items where thequantity of assets would exceed any possible use considering all inventories of end items or air-

9–17

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

craft. In these cases, individual decisions should be made to dispose of partial or total quantities.

9.49.8.4. For all items affected by disposal freezes; the IMS will direct appropriate action to thebase when the base reports the excess.

9.49.8.5. Using reviews scheduled per AFMCMAN 23-1, Chapter 14, Paragraph 14.3.1.3.2, theIMS will regularly review deferred disposal codes. The IMS will remove deferred disposal codesthat have served their legitimate purpose and are no longer justified. Overuse and failure toremove deferred disposal codes no longer needed can cause too much inactive inventory to nega-tively impact spares funding.

9.49.9. The equipment IMS/SM will comply with the procedures contained in AFMCMAN 23-4,Computation of Requirements for Equipment Items (D039/D200C) and other applicable regulationsfor the retention of excess assets. This action will preclude potential excess records from beingpassed to the RDS system for those items involved in the freeze.

9.49.9.1. MSG/SLR in conjunction with WR-LET will input Disposal Deferred Code “R” on allNSNs applicable to a HQ AFMC/LGIR approved disposal freeze request.

9.49.9.2. HQ AFMC/LGIR may assign a Disposal Freeze Code to a weapon system, FSC, com-modity, or individual item. This will result in some equipment items being assigned a DisposalDeferred Code of B, C, or P if the equipment item is listed as a next higher assembly in theRequirements Management System (RMS). This code cannot be overridden and can only beremoved by AFMC/LGIR removing the Disposal Freeze Code or the item being removed fromthe Applications, Programs and Indentures (API) segment of RMS.

9.49.9.3. The IMS can, when justified, input retention additives by master stock number to therequirements data systems. For historical and audit purposes, the IMS must retain current writtenjustification specifying what NSNs must be kept, why, how many, and for how long. Use of aretention additive will result in excess assets stratifying into the directed/elected to hold retentionsegment of the D200C Item and Dollar Stratification Summary (IDSS) report.

9.49.9.4. The IMS will regularly review retention additives and ensure they have been deletedonce they have served their legitimate purpose and are no longer justified. Overuse and failure toremove retention additives no longer needed can cause too much inactive inventory to negativelyimpact warehouse costs and spaces.

9.49.9.5. Regardless of a disposal freeze application or the retention additive, there will be cases,by individual item, where continued disposal action would be appropriate. These are the types ofitems where the quantity of assets would exceed any possible use considering all inventories ofend items or aircraft. In these cases, individual decisions should be made to dispose of partial ortotal quantities.

9.49.9.6. For all items affected by disposal freezes, the IMS will direct appropriate action to thebase when the base reports the excess.

9.50. Preparation of Disposal Freeze Notice.

9.50.1. HQ AFMC/LGIR will include the following information and elements of data as applicable,in each disposal freeze notice:

9.50.1.1. A disposal freeze control number will coordinate input to consist of the last two digitsof the current calendar year, Julian day of the year, HQ AFMC freeze number (beginning with "1"

9–18

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.50.1.1.1. A freeze control number which is rescinded, expired, or canceled will not be re-issued.

9.50.1.1.2. Any approved revision or extension to a disposal freeze which is not rescinded,expired, or canceled will continue to use the freeze control number that was originallyassigned.

9.50.1.2. The disposal freeze notice directive will contain the following information:

9.50.1.2.1. Property affected: For example, aircraft mission, design, and series (MDS);engine type, model, and series (TMS); number of aircraft involved; peculiar/common spares;support equipment (SE); SE spares and FSC/materiel management code (MMC).

9.50.1.2.2. Freeze control number.

9.50.1.2.3. Expiration date of freeze.

9.50.1.3. The following statements, when appropriate, will be contained in the disposal freezedirective or the applicable paragraph will be referenced:

9.50.1.3.1. This freeze applies to all AF base excesses reported to HQ AFMC for disposition.

9.50.1.3.2. Applicable IMS will update their disposal deferral application tables.

9.50.1.3.3. This freeze does not affect reporting/releasing of materiel through the interservicesupply support procedures (ISSP).

9.50.1.3.4. This freeze does affect reporting/ releasing of materiel through the ISSP. NOTE:When this paragraph is cited, specific instructions will be provided on what actions are to betaken by the ALCs/ICPs.

9.50.1.3.5. All materiel not transferred to disposal is included in this freeze. Disposal docu-ments (DD Forms 1348-1, Single Line Item Release/Receipt Document) will be canceled.

9.50.1.3.6. This freeze does not apply to obsolete materiel, directed condemned items, ormateriel transferred to disposal activities. NOTE 1: Items coded "DSP" or approved for"DSP" coding are to be considered as obsolete. NOTE 2: If assets located in disposal activi-ties are required, withdrawal action will be initiated by the IMS.

9.50.1.3.7. This freeze does apply to obsolete materiel, directed condemned items, and mate-riel located in disposal activities. When the freeze applies to assets in disposal activities, theIMs will take immediate action to return needed assets to active stocks.

9.64.6. Disposal decisions shall comply with the retention/disposal logic chart provided in Attach-ment 9D-4.

9.65. Transfer Policy.

9.65.1. Transfers within the DOD. It is DOD and AF policy that materiel assets be utilized within theDOD to the fullest extent practicable. Assets of one military service shall be transferred to fillrequirements of another military service requirement. Interservice supply support transactions, whichinclude interrogations for asset availability, offers of excess assets, and transfers of the availableassets, are conducted between wholesale managers. Wholesale assets of the military services andDefense Supply Centers (DSC) shall also be used to fill deficiencies in the Prepositioned War ReserveMateriel Requirement (PWRMR) of another DOD activity. Transfers in the interservice arena will behandled in accordance with guidance contained in AFLCR 400-21.

9.65.1.1. Wholesale managers should also submit interrogations (document identifier "QNE") tothe Defense Program for Redistribution of Assets (DEPRA) to determine if retail assets are avail-able to fill priority 01-08 backorders or small quantity buys. This shall be in accordance withDOD 4000.25-1-S2, Defense Program for Redistribution of Assets (DEPRA) Procedures.

9.65.2. Transfers to Allied Forces. Transfers to Allied Forces are accomplished according to FMSpolicy and procedures contained in DOD 5105.38-M, Security Assistance Management Manual(SAMM), DOD 7000.14-R, Security Assistance Policy and Procedures, Volume 15, and AFMAN 23-110, Volume 3 and Volume 9. It is DOD policy that defense articles offered and sold to foreign gov-ernments and international organizations reflect favorably upon the U.S. Therefore, defense articlesoffered and sold under FMS will normally be new or unused, or as a result of rehabilitation, possessoriginal appearance insofar as possible and, as a minimum, have serviceability standards prescribedfor issue to U.S. Forces.

9.65.2.1. Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangements (CLSSA)

9.65.2.1.1. During peacetime conditions, a CLSSA is the normal means for providing follow-on logistics support for equipment of U.S. origin which is in allied and friendly country inven-tories. Under CLSSA procedures participating countries "buy into" the DOD inventory.Recurring CLSSA demands for secondary items shall be included in the computational sys-tem for forecasting CLSSA requirements. Assets shall be both stocked and maintained onorder from procurement in anticipation of FMS country requisitions.

9.65.2.1.2. When assets are transferred under matured CLSSAs, the sales are made fromDOD inventory financed by CLSSA funds, and the materiel cost shall be reimbursable at fullstock list price.

9.65.2.1.3. Materiel sold through FMS under matured CLSSAs shall be given equal treatmentwith USAF requisitions (within priority) for on-hand and on-order depot stocks.

9.65.2.1.4. Materiel requests received prior to maturation of the CLSSA are considered non-CLSSA requirements and shall not be provided the same priority as CLSSA requirements.Materiel may be released, but not normally below the control level to fill non-CLSSA require-ments.

9–22

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

9.65.2.1.5. On an exception basis, materiel may be transferred from stocks below the controllevel to fill non-CLSSA requirements if release of the stocks will not adversely affect the sup-port of U.S. Forces (such issues shall not be below the safety level).

9.65.2.2. Nonstandard Support. Under nonstandard support procedures the customers materielrequirements are normally filled from procurement rather than from DOD stocks. Nonstandardsupport includes hardware or services required to support commercial end items; DOD obsoleteend items, including end items which have undergone system support buy outs; and selected non-U.S. origin military equipment. In the event assets are available from DOD inventories, and thetransfer out of stock will not adversely impact the support of U.S. Forces, materiel costs shall bereimbursable as follows:

9.65.2.2.1. When assets are within the AAO, materiel costs shall be recouped at full stock listprice.

9.65.2.2.2. When assets exceed the AAO and have not been procured in anticipation of mili-tary assistance or sales requirements as a result of CLSSAs, or pursuant to a military assis-tance or sales order, they are termed Excess Defense Articles and shall be sold in an "as is"condition at excess prices exhibited in DOD 7000.14-R, Volume 15.

9.65.2.2.3. All FMS requirements for nonstandard support will be excluded from the demandbase of the respective computational systems. Materiel shall not be procured nor retained instock in anticipation of FMS transfers under nonstandard support procedures.

9.65.2.3. System Support Buy Out.

9.65.2.3.1. When it is determined that a weapon system/end item is or will become obsoleteto U.S. Forces and the items are not covered under a CLSSA, action shall be initiated to offerall on-hand assets used solely on the obsolete weapon system/end item to all foreign coun-tries/international organizations which have previously purchased the weapon system or enditem, still have them in their inventory, and are eligible for FMS support.

9.65.2.3.2. The foreign country or international organization shall be allowed a maximum oftwo years to budget for and fund the system support buy out.

9.65.2.3.3. Transfer of assets shall be at excess prices shown in DOD 7000.14-R, Volume 15.

9.65.2.3.4. Disposition of assets remaining after expiration of the system support buy out iscovered in paragraph 9.64.

9.65.3. Transfers to Federal Civil Agencies.

9.65.3.1. With the exception of DOD excess materiel, the transfer of assets to agencies outsidethe DOD shall require reimbursement in accordance with DODR 7000.14, DOD Financial Man-agement Regulation, Volume 1, as follows:

9.65.3.1.1. Transfers of stock fund items shall be priced at the current stock list price.

9.65.3.1.2. Transfers of non-stock fund items below the AAO shall be priced at the estimatedreplacement cost of the item minus an adjustment for age and condition of the item being sold,if applicable.

9.65.3.1.3. Transfers of non-stock fund items above the AAO shall be priced at the currentstock list price minus an adjustment for age and condition of the item being sold, if applicable.

Terms

Approved Acquisition Objective (AAO)-The quantity of an item authorized for peacetime and wartime requirements to equip and sustain U.S. and Allied Forces in accordance with current DOD policies and plans. This quantity shall be sufficient to support other U.S. Government agencies as appropriate.

Contingency Retention Stock (CRS)-That portion of the quantity of an item greater than the AAO and economic retention stock for which there is no predictable demand or quantifiable requirement, and that normally would be allocated as Potential Reutilization Stock, except for a determination that the quantity will be retained for specific contingencies.

Cooperative Logistics Supply Support Arrangement (CLSSA)-Peacetime military logistics support arrangements designed to provide responsive and continuous supply support at the depot level for U.S. made military materiel possessed by foreign countries and international organizations. The CLSSA is normally the most effective means for providing common repair parts and secondary item support for equipment of U.S. origin which is in allied and friendly country inventories. (DOD 5105.38-M, Chapter 7).

Defense Articles-Includes any weapons, weapon systems, munitions, aircraft, vessels, boats, or other implements of war; any property, installation, commodity, material, equipment, supply, or goods used for the purpose of furnishing military assistance or making military sales; any machinery, facility, tool, mate-rial, supply, or other item necessary for the manufacture, production, processing, repair, servicing, stor-age, construction, transportation, operation, or use of any other defense article or any component or part of any articles listed above, but shall not include merchant vessels, major combatant vessels (10 U.S. Code 7307), or as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S. Code 2011), source material, byproduct material, special nuclear material, production facilities, utilization facilities, or atomic weapons or articles involving restricted data.

Inventory Control Point (ICP)-An organizational unit or activity within a DOD supply system assigned the primary responsibility for the materiel management of a group of items either for a particular military service or for the DOD as a whole. Materiel inventory management includes cataloging direction, requirements computation, procurement direction, distribution management, disposal direction, and rebuild direction.

Potential Reutilization (PR)-Component materiel identified by an item manager for possible disposal but with potential for reutilization; or materiel that has the potential for being sent by an item manager to the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service for possible reutilization by another component or by a federal, state, or local governmental agency, or for disposal through sale to the public.

Primary Inventory Control Activity (PICA)-An organization or activity that is assigned primary responsibility for the management of the item.

Principal Items-End items and replacement assemblies of such importance that management techniques require centralized individual item management throughout the supply system to include items stocked at depot level, base level, and using unit level.

GUIDANCE FOR REVIEWING AND COMPUTING RETENTION LEVELS, AND PROCESS-ING ITEMS TO DISPOSAL

9D6.1. The following items, subject to retention limits, are authorized for transfer to the DRMO uponcompliance with the specified guidance. Exclusions must be documented, justified, and maintained inthe NSN folder.

9D6.1.1. Wholesale.

9D6.1.1.1. ERRC Designator "XF3" unserviceable assets, unless retained by the IMS to covertemporary and exceptional situations such as critical or MICAP.

9D6.1.1.2. Potential reutilization assets applicable to active weapons systems or end items in theinventory should be considered for transfer to disposal with the following restriction

9D6.1.1.2.1. Total quantities of on-hand active assets must not be approved for disposal.

9D6.1.1.2.2. If there has not been usage in two or more years and there are no levels (zerolevels) thus causing all assets to compute as potential reutilization, an insurance or numericstockage objective (NSO) level, minimum retention level (D200A) will be computed. Theassets that exceed the computed levels or quantities will be transferred to disposal. Computa-tion and input of these levels or quantities will cause the items to restratify to ERS or CRS.

9D6.1.1.2.3. For items with usage in the past two years, used on weapon systems over 18years old, establish an IMS file-maintained R-deferred disposal coded level. For items com-mon to two or more weapons systems or end items, use the age of the youngest system fordetermining length of time in the inventory.

9D6.1.1.2.4. The D200A Inventory Management Specialist (IMS) must comply with the pro-cedures in AFMCMAN 23-1, for computing insurance or numeric stockage objective levels.

9D6.1.1.2.5. The D200A IMS will use the procedures in AFMCMAN 23-1 to compute aselect retention level.

9D6.1.1.2.6. The D039/D200C IMS must transfer all assets to disposal that have no usage,no authorization, and no allowance for retention.

9D6.1.1.2.7. All serviceable and economically reparable assets may be retained for NSNs inthe inventory seven years or less. The NSN is not mature enough for retention or disposaldecisions.

9D6.1.1.3. A retention level up to, but not to exceed, five (5) each shall be established for insur-ance items. Assets in excess of this quantity must be transferred to disposal.

9D6.1.1.4. With the concurrence of HQ AFMC, weapon systems deferred disposal codes may beassigned. Assets with deferred disposal codes will not normally appear on the RDS excess reviewlisting for retention or disposal decisions, but should be reviewed for possible disposal actionwhen conducting review of the requirements computation.

9D6.1.1.5. Assets no longer applicable to active weapons systems due to design change, engi-neering change proposals, modification, etc., will be assigned acquisition advice code "Y" in the

9–48

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

cataloging system. This allows the assets to appear on the excess review listing for subsequentdisposal action, regardless of the presence of a deferred disposal code.

9D6.1.1.6. Potential reutilization (PR) applicable to weapon systems or end items phasing out ofthe inventory -- dispose of that quantity which exceeds all known requirements.

9D6.1.1.7. Contingency retention stock (CRS) assets that are grossly impacting warehouse stor-age space -- dispose upon validation that disposal will not adversely impact the AF mission. TheIMS documents and keeps the rationale for this decision in the NSN file.

9D6.1.1.8. Serviceable assets peculiar to weapons systems or end items used solely by FMS --dispose of if no demands in the past two years.

9D6.1.1.9. Wholesale IMSs should offer excess assets to other using service wholesale managersbefore initiating disposal action. Do not defer or delay disposal action pending response.

RETENTION GUIDELINES

9D7.1. Approved Acquisition Objective (AAO). The quantity of an item authorized for peacetime andwartime requirements to equip and sustain United States and Allied Forces in accordance with currentDOD policy and plans. This quantity must be sufficient to support other US Government agencies,according to DOD requirements.

9D7.2. Economic Retention Stock (ERS).

9D7.2.1. The ERS is developed by calculating an Economic Retention Limit (ERL) which representsthe maximum retention level of stock that could be economically justified to meet future peacetimerequirements. ERS is the quantity of stock excess to the AAO requirement but within the ERL.

9D7.2.2. True economic retention criteria, includes evaluating potential future reprocurement costs,repair costs, depot survival rate, expected returns from disposal of materiel, costs of storing peacetimedemand expectations. To warrant ERS, an item must have a reasonably predictable demand rate.

9D7.2.3. Contingency Retention Stock (CRS).

9D7.2.3.1. General.

9D7.2.3.1.1. CRS is the quantity of an item excess to the AAO requirements and the ERL forwhich there is no predictable peacetime requirement but for which specific considerations orpotential use in specific contingencies justify retention. Assets above ERS, retained forweapon systems support as outlined in Attachment 9D-6, will be included in the general CRScategory.

9D7.2.3.1.2. Within the CRS, stock shall be stratified to one or more of the following subcat-egories:

9D7.2.3.1.2.1. Subcategory A--Military Contingency. Assets may be retained in this sub-category to meet potential military contingencies for U.S. forces.

9D7.2.3.1.2.2. Subcategory B--Foreign Military Demand. Assets may be retained in thissubcategory in anticipation of foreign military demand not covered by cooperative logis-tics agreements. Assets undergoing a buy out, as outlined in paragraph 9.65.2.3, will beincluded in this category.

9D7.2.3.1.2.3. Subcategory C--General Contingency. Assets may be retained in this sub-category based on potential usefulness, extreme reprocurement problems, or other specialconsiderations involving nonmilitary contingencies, such as civil emergencies or naturaldisaster relief.

9D7.2.3.2. Discussion.

9D7.2.3.2.1. Contingency retention applies only to items which are assigned deferred dis-posal codes or compute indicator code "N." Contingency retention may be either Command(AFMC) or Inventory Manager directed/initiated. Assignment and use of these codes are asfollows:

9D7.2.3.2.1.1. Active weapon systems in the inventory less than 18 years may have adeferred disposal code assigned as directed by HQ AFMC/LGIR. All applications will be

9–50

AFMAN 23-110 Volume 3Part 1, Chapter 9

reflected on the D039/D200C/D200A system application tables.

9D7.2.3.2.1.2. Weapon systems in the inventory 17½ or more years shall have deferreddisposal codes removed if currently assigned as directed by HQ AFMC/LGIR. Whenfully justified, deferred disposal code "R" may be assigned to these items by the IMS onan item-by-item basis.

9D7.2.3.2.1.3. Inventory peculiar to the application can be retained by assigning deferreddisposal code "P" to the D200A system application tables as directed by HQ AFMC/LGIR. Example of its use would be to hold assets for weapon systems undergoing FMSbuy out offer.

9D7.2.3.2.1.4. Compute indicator "N" is generated automatically by the D200A system;the IMS cannot change it. It indicates that essential elements of data required to do a com-putation are not on file. It is removed automatically upon file maintenance of the missingelements.

9D7.2.3.2.2. Use of IMS assigned deferred disposal codes will be fully justified. This justifi-cation will be maintained in the item history folder. All "R" codes shall be reviewed andrevalidated at least semiannually. HQ AFMC directed codes will be reviewed by HQ AFMC/LGIR annually.

9D7.2.4. Potential Reutilization (PR) Stock.

9D7.2.4.1. General. PR stock is the quantity of an item excess to all authorized retention levelsfor which final processing to disposal is pending.

9D7.2.4.2. Discussion. Stock may not be retained in PR stock for a longer period of time than isrequired to make a final determination whether or not the stock should be disposed of and to pro-cess it for disposal. If a determination is made to retain the stock, it shall be restratified to AAO,ERS, CRS.

9D7.2.4.3. Computation of retention levels and resulting excess quantities computed by D200Ais outlined in AFMCMAN 23-1, Chapter 9.
