5-28. X SERIES - NOT PROCURED, NORMALLY IMPRACTICAL FOR STOCKING, MAINTENANCE OR
MANUFACTURE.
a.
X - Applied to items which, if damaged, would require uneconomical repair. The need for an
item, or items coded "X" will normally result in recommendation for retirement of equipment from service.
b.
X1 - Applied to items for which purchase of the next larger assembly Source Coded in the "P"
series is justified.
c.
X2 - Applied to items which are not purchased for stock, but
may be required for use through
salvage or one time purchase. Activities requiring such items will attempt
to obtain them from salvage; if
not obtainable from salvage or readily manufactured, such items shall be
requisitioned through normal supply
channels with supporting justification. Repeated requisitions shall justify a
change to the "P" series code.
5-29. U SERIES - U - APPLIED WHEN NOT OF SUPPLY OR MAINTENANCE STOCKING SIGNIFICANCE.
5-30. MATERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY RECOVERABILITY CODES (MARC). Codes which are assigned only
to aeronautical provisioned items to reflect the accountability, recoverability and repair policy determined for
an item of equipment or material required for the maintenance, repair or rework of an end article, MARC
codes are as follows:
Code Application of Accountability/Recoverability Codes
R
Code "R" shall be applied to reparable (except end items of support equipment) items which are
economical and practical to repair on a programmed basis through a major rework activity. It is
intended that Code "R" items be repaired locally by using activities or fleet support activities whenever
the extent of required repair falls within the maintenance capability of the local command. However
the decision that the maintenance characteristics of the item are such as to warrant repair program-
ming at a major military or commercial rework activity shall be the governing criteria for assignment
of the "R" code. After initial outfitting, supply system issues of Code "R" items shall be made only
when exchange procedures provide for turn-in of the replaced item or when necessary to replace an
item expended by approved survey.
D
Code "D" shall be applied to end items of support equipment which are economical and practical to
repair on a scheduled basis through a major rework activity. Code "D" items will be maintained on a
custodial signature basis and shall be surveyed when lost or missing or when beyond economical re-
pair. After initial outfitting, the supply officer of the support activity will not issue Code "D'" end
items without turn-in of the replaced item. Code "D" items shall be repaired by fleet support activi-
ties, including Public Works Departments, when the extent and type of repair fall within assigned
maintenance responsibility. Every effort shall be made to repair items locally or through fleet
support activities prior to turning the item into the supply system as non-RFI material. If repairs
are required beyond local or fleet support maintenance capabilities, the damaged or defective material
must be properly identified and returned immediately to the supporting supply department.
L
Code "L" shall be applied to repairable items (except end items of support equipment) which are to
be repaired locally by using activities or the local fleet support activity within their assigned mainte-
nance responsibility. Repair parts are normally procured to support Code " L" items. Code "L"
items will be scrapped when beyond local economical repair. After initial outfitting, supply system
issues of Code "L" items shall be made only when exchange procedures provide for turn-in of the
replaced item or when necessary to replace an item expended by approved survey.
E
Code "E" shall be applied to end items of support equipment which are to be repaired locally. The
criterion for assignment of Code "E" is that the end item can be maintained/repaired locally by using
or fleet supporting activities within their assigned maintenance responsibility. Code "E" items will
be maintained on a custodial signature basis when in use and will be surveyed when lost or missing.
After initial outfitting the Supply Officer of the supporting activity will not issue Code "E" items
without turn-in of the replaced item. If the repair of Code "E" items is beyond the assigned mainte-
nance responsibility of the using activity, the next higher level of fleet maintenance shall be requested
to perform repair. Operating procedures shall be set up locally with sufficient flexibility to allow for
local repair and to encourage such action. If repair cannot be accomplished by local or supporting
fleet levels of maintenance, including the Public Works Department, the cognizant BUWEPSFLEREADREP
shall be immediately notified and will provide assistance regarding repair. The cognizant
BUWEPSFLEREADREP may authorize repair through customer service from a major rework activity.
If repair of Code "E" Items cannot be accomplished locally or through customer service in time to
meet operational maintenance requirements, a ready-for-issue replacement item may be requisitioned.
The Code "E" item requiring repair beyond the capability of the highest level of fleet maintenance
must be appropriately tagged and turned into supply at the time of issue of the replacement item. The
