quantity_per_assembly

The total number of times a line item is used in the assembly of which it is a part. If the quantity is unknown or cannot be determined, specify the quantity by "V" (variable) or as specified by the provisioning activity.

• Option 1. The contractor shall enter the total number of times the line item is used in the assembly of which it is a part. Note: Option 1 QTY/EI can only be used with Option 1 QTY/ASSY.
• Option 2. For provisioning parts lists (PPLs) in reference designation format, enter the number of times the item appears at the location in the end item documented by the PPL. When an assembly is broken down by individual piece parts at its first appearance, the quantity for the assembly and for each piece part at each location shall be the number of times it appears in the assembly multiplied by the number of appearances of the assembly in the end item. For other provisioning lists under option 2, the QTY/ASSY can be considered as the QTY/EI.
• Option 3. The contractor shall enter the total number of times the line item is used in the assembly of which it is a part. An assembly only needs to be broken out to its piece parts at its first occurrence on a list. Subsequent appearances of the same assembly shall not be broken out.

quantity_per_end_item

The quantity per end item of the system/end item as a model (A indentured) item. Exception: If the item does not have a Next Higher Assembly, the Quantity per End Item should be blank.
The total number of times the line item is used in the complete system/equipment. If the quantity is unknown or cannot be determined specify the quantity by "V" (variable) or as specified by the provisioning activity.
There are three selections used in the calculation of the Quantity per End Item. A description of these options is found in the description of the selection code selection code quantity_per_end_item_calculation_option_code_Type.

quantity_per_figure

reference_designation

Letters or numbers, or both, used to uniquely identify and locate discrete units, portions thereof, and basic parts of a specific component. The reference designation should result in the arrangement of provisioning lists for electronic and electronic related equipment being in alpha-numeric reference designation order IAW ANSI Y 32.16, or in top-down or disassembly order as directed by the requiring authority. Parts for which reference designations have not been assigned, and for which disassembly sequencing is not possible, shall be listed in alphanumeric part number or related data sequence. (Note: Compression (gang listing) of reference designations under one PLISN: Identical items identified by separate reference designators shall not be combined under a single PLISN unless authorized by the requiring authority). For commercially designed, controlled, and commercially available electronic equipments, compliance with ANSI Y 32.16 is desired, but not mandatory. For reference designation oriented equipments, the reference designation shall be developed IAW ANSI Y 32.16, utilizing option 1 or 2 as prescribed by the requiring authority.

• Option 1. Unit Numbering Method. When the unit numbering method is used, unit and subassembly portion (prefix) of the reference designation shall consist of up to 19 positions. The first 19 positions relate to assemblies and subassemblies.
• Option 2. Block Numbering Method. When the block numbering method is used, the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS) nomenclature, (type designation) for the unit shall be entered IAW the block numbering method. For nonelectronic items appearing in electronic equipment, use the identifying number or other symbol used to identify the item (e.g., figure and item number, up to 29 positions).

For nonreference designation oriented equipment, the requiring authority may request one of the following options be used:

• Option 3. The volume, figure, and item number from the equipment technical manual will be used in lieu of the reference designation.
• Option 4. The plan and piece number (drawing and piece identification) shall be used in lieu of the reference designation.
• Option 5. The first precedence reference number (see reference_number_Type).

Table — Reference Designation Code

reference_number

Any number, other than a government activity stock number, used to identify an item of production, or used by itself or in conjunction with other reference numbers to identify an item of supply. Reference numbers include manufacturer's part, drawing, model, type, or source controlling numbers; manufacturer's trade name; specification or standard numbers; and, specification or standard part, drawing, or type numbers (for applicable formats see DOD 4100.39-M). The following precedence for reference number assignment should be used.

• First Precedent Reference Number. The line item is identified by a government or industry association specifications, drawing, or standard number, e.g., FED, MIL, JAN, AN, NEMA, SAE, which completely identifies the item including its physical, mechanical, electrical and dimensional characteristics. (If the government or industry association specification or standard number does not fully identify the item, then the actual manufacturer's identifying reference number becomes the first precedent reference number.) If the government or industry specification, drawing, or standard completely identifies the item, at least one additional reference number (see additional_reference_number_Type) citing a manufacturer or vendor reference number must be provided.
• Second Precedent Reference Number. When the line item is identified as "source control", "altered", or "selected" (MIL-DTL-31000C), the contractors assigned number is used.
• Third Precedent Reference Number. The item identifying part, drawing, or catalog number of the actual manufacturer that supplies the item. The manufacturer is the company or government activity exercising design control over the item.

schedule_b_export_code

The Schedule B code is a 10-digit identification code, required by the Department of Commerce, for all exported goods. The coding, administered by the US Census Bureau, has a hierarchal structure that defines a broad category of articles and successively separates items into more specific items or categories of items. The first 2 digits define the broadest categories of similar articles (or items) to be grouped together. Each succeeding 2 digits correspond to additional sub-groupings, which further narrows the description of items in their respective sub-groups. As an example, electric machinery will have 85 as the first two digits. Within this group electric motors are sub-grouped and have 01 as the second two digits. Electric motors with an output less than 37.5 Watts are further sub-grouped and have 10 in the third set of two digits. These motors are separated again by AC and DC with the DC motors being sub-grouped to 40 in the fourth set of 2 digits. Finally, the electric motors with less than 37.5 Watts, that are DC and brushless are ultimately sub-grouped to 40 in the final two digits. Therefore, the Schedule B code to export these items is 8501104040. Schedule b codes are published in U.S. International Trade Commission Publication 3902, HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE of the United States (2007) Annotated for Statistical Reporting Purposes. The most up-to-date authoritative source can be found at http://www.census.gov/foreigntrade/schedules/b/index.html that list all the codes organized by the first two digits called chapters.
