7-14 Regardless of the form used, the NSN is the most important identification data for any item. Check the ML-N before listing the stock number on the 1250-1 or 1348-6 to ensure the stock number is up to date and accurate and the unit price and unit of issue are correct. If the NSN is not available for repair parts, use the DD Form 1348-6 (fig. 7-12) to requisition the parts. The DD Form 1348-6 consists of two sections. The first, or top, section consists of 80 card columns of MILSTRIP data; the second, or bottom, section consists of nine data blocks of additional identification data. The bottom section permits the inclusion of all available technical or descriptive data. This data will assist the supply source in the identification and procurement of the requisitioned item. Storekeepers requisition most material requirements on DD Form 1348. However, certain items excluded from MILSTRIP are ordered on DD Form 1149 (fig. 7-13). Examples of these items are bulk fuel, library books, communications security equipment, and materials controlled by the Naval Oceanographic Office. NAVSUP P-409 is a handy desk guide to MILSTRIP that gives an excellent overview of MILSTRIP documents. However, for detailed guidance about the use of these forms, refer to NAVSUP P-485. Message Requisitions In certain situations, urgent material requirements demand the need for procurement by message, rather than by submission of standard requisition documents. Message requisitions are submitted in a specified format and must convey the same data that is required on DD Form 1348 or 1348-6. Overseas activities use message requisitions for priority requisitions unless transmission by other means, such as mail or courier, is more expedient. Messages also may be used for routine priority requisitions when transmission by mail will not ensure delivery of the requisitioned material by the required time. When a message requisition is prepared, a DD Form 1348 or 1348-6 is also prepared for each item requested in the message. The original of each DD Form 1348 or 1348-6 is discarded, and the remaining copies are distributed according to established procedures. A message requisition must not be longer than one page and is generally limited to a maximum of seven requisitions. The Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) is a "real time" random access digital computer system. This system uses the automatic digital network (AUTODIN) switching centers of the Defense Communications System to receive and retransmit MILSTRIP messages automatically to the proper addressees. An input message to DAAS may include multiple requisitions, follow-ups, requisition Figure 7-11.—DoD Single Line Item Requisition System Document (Manual), DD Form 1348.
