(1) STOCK NUMBER column. This column lists the NSN by National item identification number (NIIN)

sequence. The NIIN consists of the last nine digits

NSN

of the NSN (i.e., 5305-01-574-1467 ). When using this column to locate an item,

NIIN

ignore the first 4 digits of NSN. However, the complete NSN should be used when ordering items by stock number.

(2) FIG. column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located. The figures

are in numerical order in Section II and Section III.

(3) ITEM column. The item number identifies the item associated with the figure listed in the adjacent FIG.

column. This item is also identified by the NSN listed on the same line.

b. PART NUMBER INDEX Part numbers in this index are listed by part number in ascending alphanumeric

sequence (i.e., vertical arrangement of letter and number combination which places the first letter or digit of each group in

order A through Z, followed by the numbers 0 through 9 and each following letter or digit in like order).

(1) FSCM column. The Federal Supply Code for Manufacture (FSCM) is a 5-digit numeric code used to

identify the manufacturer, distributor, or Government agency, etc., that supplies the item.

(2) PART NUMBER column. Indicates the primary number used by the manufacturer (individual, firm,

corporation, or Government activity), which controls the design and characteristics of the item by means of its engineering

drawings, specifications standards, and inspection requirements to identify an item or range of items.

(3) STOCK NUMBER column. This column lists the NSN for the associated part number and manufacturer

identified in the PART NUMBER and FSCM columns to the left.

(4) FIG. column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located in Section II and

III.

(5) ITEM column. The item number is that number assigned to the item as it appears in the figure referenced
