Questions and answers

When are local manufacture requests automatically approved?

LM requests are automatically approved if Source Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR) codes identify them as LM and the fabricating activity has the capability to fabricate requested item. (paragraph 1)

What restrictions apply to manufacturing procurable lines?

Manufacture of procurable lines (not having a Supply Routing Identification Code of JBD, which is a supply code meaning local manufacture) is restricted to those items which are mission essential and are approved by the depot item manager. (paragraph 1)

Which procurable assets must be ordered instead of locally manufactured?

Assets with SMR codes PA, PB, PE, PG, MD, XA and XB are procurable items, depot manufactured, salvage, etc. and will be ordered, not locally manufactured. (paragraph 3)

How should AF-coded lines be handled when they are unavailable through supply?

Every effort should be made to procure these lines through the supply system. In the event they are not available, AF coded lines may be processed as LM. (paragraph 2)

What paperwork must a requester take to the fabricating work center for a zero-balance line?

Requester will hand carry completed AF Form 2005, Issue/Turn-In Request, completed Air Force Technical Order Form (AFTO) Form 350, Repairable Item Processing Tag, Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS)/GO81 documentation (to include printed IMDS screen #122 or equivalent GO81 work center event verification), 18 WG Form 61, Local Manufacture Worksheet, and a sample part to the fabricating work center.
