Direct Vendor Delivery (DVD) Requirements: • DVD shipment documentation requires additional Bar Codes as required by paragraph 4.5. (Look for the DVD requirement in the Section “D” portion of the contract clauses.) • Bar Codes are placed on the DD250 or commercial packing list. • Applicable to shipments “to a location other than a DLA Distribution Depot.”
Direct Vendor Delivery (DVD) Three Lines of Bar Coded Information Required: Line 1 = Fourteen digit Requisition Number. Line 2 = Thirteen digit NSN & two additional codes as applicable ( Navy SMIC or Air Force MMAC Codes). Line 3 = Inventory Control Point, Routing Identifier Code (RIC), Unit of Issue, Quantity, Condition Code, Distribution Code & Unit Price (total of 20 characters on this line, see paragraph 4.5 c. for breakdown of digits ).
Direct Vendor Delivery (DVD) HELPFUL HINT ROUTING IDENTIFIER CODE ( RIC ) • Routing Identifier Codes (RICs) identify the activity originating the supply document. RICs may also identify the recipient of the supply document, and/or the shipper. Contact the Transportation office if you are unsure. • Source for RICs: http://day2k1.daas.dla.mil/daasing/login.asp

Unique Identification (UID) UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION ( UID ) MARKING
Unique Identification (UID) • WHAT IS UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION? - A combination of data elements that differentiates one item from another. - A lifetime serial number, unique throughout the DOD system. - An internationally recognized method of identifying parts (meets ISO standards). - Can be used to track an item and link to data about the item for it’s entire life.
Unique Identification (DVD) • WHY UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION? Provides DOD with source data to: - improve the acquisition of equipment and performance based logistics services. - Capture timely, accurate and reliable data on items. - Improve life-cycle asset management. - Track items within DOD and industry systems for operational, logistic, and financial accountability purposes
Unique Identification (DVD) • WHERE CAN I FIND POLICY AND INFORMATION? - Information Memorandum Nos. 04-093 & 147 - DFARS Clause 252.211-7003 - DoD Guide to Uniquely Identifying items - DCMAD 1 (“One Book”) SQA, 3.5.2.2 - MIL-STD-130L, DoD Standard Practice Identification Marking of U.S. Military

Unique Identification (UID) • WHEN IS UID REQUIRED? - Solicitations issued on or after JAN 1, 2004. • WHAT ITEMS REQUIRE UID? - All items for which the Government’s unit acquisition cost is $5,000 or more: and - Items under $5,000 listed in paragraphs (c) (1) (i) & (ii) of DFAR Clause 252.211-7003 (e.g. Contract Line, Subline, or Exhibit Line Items) when specified in the contract.
Unique Identification (UID) • WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE UID? - Each Enterprise (business) has two options for creating the UID: UID CONSTRUCT # 1 OR UID CONSTRUCT # 2
UID CONSTRUCT # 1 • Contractors who have a unique serial number for every item at their location would be likely to use Construct # 1. Issuing Agency Code (Registration authority) Enterprise ID (Cage Code of Enterprise) Serial Number (Assigned by the Enterprise)
UID CONSTRUCT # 2 • Most contractors would use Construct # 2, since they are more likely to serialize within a part number. Issuing Agency Code (Registration authority) Enterprise ID (Cage Code of Enterprise) Original Part Number (Assigned by the Enterprise) Serial Number (Assigned by the Enterprise)
Unique Identification (UID) THE END
