MIL-STD-1168C
c. Four and one-half (4 ½) years after production, Depot 3 determines to defuze and plug the 800 rounds of the same basic item and lot which they have in storage. This 800 quantity would now be identified as VVV97J002-012C.
d. Five (5) years later Depot 1 decides to unplug and refuze 500 rounds of the original 2,000 rounds which were defuzed and plugged. These 500 rounds now become lot VVV97J002-012D.
4.6.7 Assignment of different suffixes. Different suffixes must be assigned for different types of operations or maintenance which are performed on the same basic item. Different suffixes shall also be assigned when even the same work is performed at a different time or different place as exemplified in examples a and c in 4.6.6. For
instance, radiographic examination of separate quantities of the same basic item at different times, even if performed at the same depot, would necessitate the assignment of different suffixes to identify each of the quantities examined. The ADC shall note the location where the operations or maintenance were performed. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.5), if production has ceased and more than 30 days have lapsed without production, then a new suffix shall be issued, even if it is the same rework procedures.
4.6.7.1 Navy Exception. The only Navy exception (see 6.7.f) to the requirement for different suffixes for actions performed by different units or at different times is the Navy practice to assign one suffix per specific operation, regardless of where or when the actions are performed.
Examples:
a. The original quantity of PFC09A850-001 is 10,000 rounds. Two (2) years after production it is noted that rounds have been found without proper markings indicating suspect identity. There are 6,000 of the original lot remaining in the inventory. The assets are held by 27 different activities. The governing Navy authority directs 100% inspection for appropriate markings by all holding activities. Suffix A is directed for all properly marked rounds with the application of suffix A to the lot number marked on the outer packaging. Even though the action is performed by 27 different activities, suffix A is applied for all 5,800 rounds found to be properly marked. Their lot number is now PFC09A850-001A. The 200 rounds found without proper markings are reclassified unserviceable for disposition and retain the original lot number.
b. The original quantity of JJJ92G001-001 is 1,000 rounds. Four (4) years after delivery a fleet installed upgrade kit is required. The 700 remaining assets are held by multiple fleet activities. The governing Navy authority directs kits to be installed upon de-containerization with suffix A to be applied upon completion of kit installation. Even though the kit installation is completed by different
activities and at different times, suffix A is to be assigned. The lot number is now
JJJ92G001-001A.
