Critical Federal Stock Classes


Due to national security concerns, some federal stock classes (FSC's) require a higher degree of documentation when being turned in under a local stock number opposed to a cataloged national stock number. These critical FSCs must be turned in with following information on or attached to the DD 1348-1A
  1. Appropriate FSC
  2. Manufacturer name and valid part number
  3. Nomenclature which accurately describes the item
  4. End item application
  5. Clear text statement explaining why the NSN is not included
