a. UMMIPS is used during peace and war to ensure that
materiel is provided to users in accordance with rules that
take into account the military importance and urgency of
need of the requiting activity, and other command and
management considerations. These criteria are structured
to provide a distinct advantage to deployed forces.

work processing. Urgent operationrd requirements must be
given priority over requisitions for housekeeping and ad­
ministrative supplies, or similar requirements. The UMhUPS
is designed to give recognition and preferential treatment
to materiel needs, the lack of which will prevent or seri­
ously impair a command’s ability to carry out its assigned
mission.

instructions for use within the Navy of the DoD Uniform
Materiel Movement and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS)
for movement, requisitioning, and issue of materiel.

tion.
c. The UMMIPS (enclosure (1)) provides a basis for ex­
pressing the rankings of requisitions and materiel move.
ment transactions by a series of twodigit codes known as
Priority Designators. Thus, the priority designator provides
a means of ranking competing demands. The priority desig­
ntitor is derived from a matrix combining the requisition­
er’s l;urcc/Activity Deslgnutur (FAD) isnd the urgency of
need of [he end use requirement as spectled by the Ur­
gency of Need Designator (UND). The FAD is a Roman
numeral (1 through V) assigned by the Secretary of De­
fense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), or by a DoD com­
ponent. It indicates the mission essentiality of a unit,
organization, installation, project, or program with respect
to national objectives. All required Navy units report UNITREP data, including FAD rsssignments and changes as
they occur, in accordance with reference (b). The UND
(an alphabetic character) is determined by the requisition­
ing activity in accordance with the criteria in enclosure (2).

for items under the management of the Military Services,

these limitations will be reviewed annually in accordance
with subparagraph 7b 1.

(GSA),
b. Prescribed procedures andtime standards areapplicable to interservice supply support operations for stocked
items. Supply support arrangements involving deliveries
from procurement will be based on delivery schedules
agreed upon by the military services and the contractor involved.

Enclosure (5) provides the UMMIPS Time Standards.
7. Action
c. The time standards established will be considered
overall logistics system standards for the supply of materiel requirements. Logistics systems will be designed to
rncct and, where economically feasible, to surpass these
time standards.
a.
The Chief of Naval Operations (Op-41) will:
(1)Issue UMMIPS guidance to applicable activities
(paragraph 3 refers).
d. Special handling will normally be applied to meet the
requirements for high priority materiel demands (priority
designators 01 through 08). For priority designator 01
through 03 and NMCS/PMCS/CASREP requisitions, the
normal procedure will be expedited issue processing and
use of air or other high-speed transportation. Priority designator 04 through 08 requisitions will have expedited issue
processing but will be shipped by the most economical
mode, consistent with the priority designator and the required delivery date. The basic objective is to satisfy these
demands by expeditiously processing the requirement to
the final point of issue, with due consideration for the high
cost of premium transportation. Demands with priority
designators 09 through 15 will be subjected to routine
processing, handling, and cost favorable transportation, except where overriding circumstances known to the shipper

mode of transportation.
(2) Review UMMIPS performance to ensure compliante with UMMIPS policy.
(3)
Delegate authority for the assignment of FADs.
(4) Assign FADs (other than I) to Navy special projects, programs, contractors, and operations, as appropriate.
(5! !%~cess requests for assignment of FAD I to the
JCS.
b. Commands delegated authority to assign FADs to
subordinate commands by enclosure (1) will:
(11 Review FAD assignments assigned to subordinate
commands, and the percentage limitations in cndosurc (3),
annually to determine their validity. Major claimants will
report the results of this review, including a list of activities
and FAD assignments, to the Chief of Naval Operations
(Op-41) on 1 April of each year.
e. The UMMIPS priority designators determined in iiccordance with this instruction are not to be used as the sole
means for allocating materiel, but shall be used in ccmjunction with control and allocation procedures established by
the owning military service, JCS, or the cognizant military
commander.
(2) Maintain a record of FADs assigned to subordinate commands.
Enclosure (3) provides percentage guidelines on the
upper limits of off-station/off-ship high priority requisitions
(priority designators 01 through 08) to be originated by
requisitioners. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide
a framework in which performance can be measured under
normal circumstances. Requisitioning activities will keep
their percentage of high priority nlatericl demands below
the limits delineated in the table to the maximum extent
possible. These limits are not goals; the goal is to minimize

(3) Assign an expiration date to all temporary FAD
assignments.
(4) Include a review of priority designators, on a
sample basis, in command inspections to determine compliance with this instruction.

(2) Accord prompt and thorough himdling to requests received from supply sources to validate outstanding requisitions. Validations must confirm both the continued requirement for the materiel requisitioned and the
priority designator assigned to these requisitions. Validations must not be accomplished in a perfunctory manner
and should be completed and returned by required deadline dates. The activity forwarding the validation request
should advise immediate superiors in command of validation requests which are not returned or are returned by
Navy activities an inordinate time after being forwarded
by the preparing activity.
(5) Emphasize to subordinate commands the necessity for compliance with instructions for the assignment
of priority designators and that such assignments are a
command responsibility.

(6) Take actions necessary to ensure the integrity of
the UMMIPS. Review the statistical WIPS
performance
data provided under subparagraph 7c(2) to ensure subordinate commands are complying with UMMIPS policy. investigate promptly reports of suspected abuses of the UMMIPS
and take corrective action where required. Require speCWICmeasures be taken to eliminate abuses, Disciplinary
action should be considered when there is conclusive evidence of deliberate and intentional overstatement of assigned priority designators.
(3) Direct that, prior to the use of UND A for
an off-station/off-ship requisition, the supply and n~aintenance activities jointly ensure that their respective staffs
have exhausted every reasonable means to tillevitite the operational limitations imposed by the materiel shortage.
This includes a thorough search for serviceable ancl/or unserviceable assets. Repair, fabrictition, interchangeability,
etc., will be considered.
