EXPLANATION

CODE

Repair parts (assemblies and components), special tools and test

equipment which are considered economically reparable at direct and

general support maintenance levels. When the item is no longer

economically reparable, it is normally disposed of at the GS level.

When supply considerations dictate, some of these repair parts may

be listed for automatic return to supply for depot level repair as

set forth in AR 710-50. When so listed, they will be replaced by

supply on an exchange basis.

Repair parts, special tools and test equipment, and assemblies which

are economically reparable at DS and GS activities and which normally

are furnished by supply on an exchange basis. When items are deter-

mined by a GSU to be uneconomically reparable, they will be evacuated to

a depot for evaluation and analysis before final disposition.

High dollar value recoverable repair parts, special tools and test equip-

ment which are subject to special handling and are issued on an exchange

basis. Such items will be repaired or overhauled at depot maintenance

activities only. No repair may be accomplished at lower levels.

Repair parts, special tools and test equipment specifically selected

for salvage by reclamation units because of precious metal content,

critical materials, high dollar value, or reusable casings or castings.
