NOTE: (Exception Data)

Requests for items with only a manufacturer's part number in the

manufacturer's parts catalog or supply information letter go into the

automated supply system just like regular NSN requests. In this case, the

manufacturer's code (5 digits) must go on the request as the first 5 digits

of the part number in the stock number block then follow by the

manufacturers part numbers. Zero filling is not required for this line. If

the part number has more than 15 letters and/or numbers, you must use DD

Form 1384-6 (Non-NSN Requisition) instead.
