Cognizance symbols 0 (zero) is not carried in the stores account. Even numbers 2, 4, 6, and 8 are carried in the Appropriation Stores Account (APA), except 8A. Odd numbers 1,3,5, and 7 are carried in the Navy Stock Account (NSA). Number 9 is Navy-owned material carried in NSA and managed-by the SPCC. The second position of the cognizance symbol identifies the item manager. The item manager exercises supply management over specified categories of material. MATERIAL CATALOGING AND CLASSIFICATION 01 02-08 This section will help you understand the information used in material identification. There are more than 4 million supply items in the Department of Defense (DOD) supply system. The Navy supply system alone stocks more than 1 million items. Each item must be identified to make buying, stocking, and issuing easier. To accomplish this, each item must be listed indifferent groups or categories. 09 FEDERAL CATALOGING SYSTEM The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) administers the Federal Cataloging System under the direction of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Installation and Logistics). The Defense Logistics Support Center (DLSC) manages the federal cataloging system in the DOD. The DLSC is responsible for naming, classifying, and numbering all items carried under centralized inventory control by the DOD and civil agencies of the Federal Government. It also publishes all related identification data. Only one identification may be used for each item in all supply functions from purchase to final disposal. The Federal Catalog System is also used by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries. According to the federal law, NAVSUP participates in the Federal Catalog System. Navy items are introduced into the system, and are revised based on data furnished by the various Navy inventory managers. Items can be purged from the system according to the law or with guidance furnished by NAVSUP and higher authority. FEDERAL SUPPLY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM The Federal Supply Classification (FSC) System was designed to permit the classification of all items of supply used by the Federal Government. Each item of supply is classified in only one four-digit Federal Supply Classification class. The first two digits denote the group or major division of commodities within the group. Currently, there are 76 groups assigned. Group numbers start from 10 and end at 99. Table 3-1 is a list of federal supply groups and titles. The Navy uses groups 01 through 09 for forms and publications that are not included in the Federal Catalog System. The forms and publications are numbered according to the following system: Navy Department forms Publications District and fleet forms The number of classes within each group varies. Each class covers a particular area of commodities according to physical or performance characteristics. The items in the class are usually requisitioned or issued together. This is used as a basis for including items in the same area of commodities. You will learn the frequently used classes within the groups by using them. Examples of how classes are used to divide types of material within a stock group are shown in figure 3-1. Figure 3-1.-Examples of supply classes within a stock group. 3-2
