M1-Series Tank Roadwheel Mount Revisited
Page 2 of PS 702 (May 11) told you about a new roadwheel mount, NSN 2350-01-583-5139,
for the top of your M1-series tank turret. Unfortunately, that mount interferes with the
Commander’s Integrated Thermal Viewer (CITV) mount and had to be redesigned. Order the
new, redesigned mount with NSN 2350-01-593-1101.
CAGE Code 16236 Invalid
for Non-NSN Requisitions
DLA will now reject any requisitions received
that begin with 16236 for non-NSN parts. This
is an invalid CAGE code and causes major delays
in the procurement process. Customers should
resubmit rejected requisitions using the correct
CAGE code of the contractor providing the
material, and update all cataloging records
to reflect that CAGE code. For assistance with
obtaining CAGE codes for non-NSN requisitions,
please contact Charles Greene at DSN 850-1634,
(614) 692-1634, or email:
charles.greene@dla.mil
or Ron Walter at DSN 850-1853, (614) 692-1853,

Container Calculator
Makes it Easy
The container calculator in DLA’s SPIDERS
(Support Planning Integrated Data Enterprise
Readiness System) is a handy automated web
tool. It can help you figure out your unit’s supply
transportation needs. The calculator tells you
how many 20- and 40-ft containers, aircraft and
trucking assets you need to move materiel. It’s a
snap to use because you don’t need pen or paper.
Just copy/paste the info to your computer’s
clipboard, and email it to yourself or others. Visit:
Guide to Container
Inspection
If you’re working with cargo containers, you
need MIL-HDBK-138B, DoD Handbook,

Container Inspection for Commercial and Military
Intermodal Containers
(Jan 02). You’ll find it on
the Army Knowledge Online (AKO) website:
The handbook has inspection standards and
procedures for inspecting intermodal freight
containers.

also
has
general
container
descriptions, definitions of container terms and
a section on markings.
Aviation Life Support
Equipment Tester
There’s a new piece of equipment on
the block, the aviation life support
equipment tester (ALSET). The ALSET-400
is a multi-purpose tool that can test
different types of equipment, such as
distress marker strobe lights and flight
helmet earphones. And it also can be
used as an ohm and volt meter. To order
the ALSET-400, use NSN 6695-01-590-

Tan Coveralls
NSN Correction
On Page 40 in PS 697 (Dec 10), we told you that
NSN 8145-01-548-596
6
would bring a set of
medium tan coveralls. That’s wrong. The correct
NSN for the coveralls was NSN 8145-01-548-
596
8
. Unfortunately those tan coveralls are
out
of stock.
They will be replaced by new flame-
resistant coveralls that will not be available until
the end of October at the earliest.
