he supply officer hands his supply clerk a note and asks, “Can we get this
NSN?” The clerk looks it up in the FED LOG-AMDF, finds it and says, “You
bet, Sir.”
A week later the requisition comes back, rejected, with instructions that tell
the unit to “fabricate, assemble or use source coded XB items to manufacture the
item.” The acquisition advice code (AAC) would have told the supply clerk this
if he’d only checked it in the FED LOG-AMDF. He’s confused and soon to be
embarrassed when he tells his boss what happened.
Many people think like the supply clerk—if the NSN is in the FED LOG or
FED LOG-AMDF, then it can be requisitioned.
Maybe.
. .maybe not!
Check out the AAC. It tells you if you can requisition the item or need to do
something else to get it. Here are the most common AACs:

I
f there’s oil from the last sample in your oil sampling pump, NSN 4930-01-
119-4030, clean it good before you take another sample. Leftover oil in the
pump contaminates any new sample.
Clean the pump piece by piece with any acceptable solvent.
Let the parts air dry before you put the pump back together.
Save yourself—and the lab—a lot of time and trouble. Get it right the first
time by working with a clean pump.
