On this label, the contact number is above the manufacturer. In this case, the contract number is “DSA 100-71-C-0181”, where “71” is the year of manufacture. The remaining numbers and letters do not refer to the date. All U.S. military clothing and equipment is manufactured with a label or stamp that includes the contract number. If you follow the numbering system, you can easily know the year and sometimes even the month in which your item was manufactured. The second “warehouse number,” the Federal Stock Number [FSN], was introduced in 1953 “as part of the Defense Cataloguing and Standardization Act to implement the concept of a unique item identification number [for example. B all standard 40-watt bulbs with the same function, regardless of their manufacture, have been assigned to the same FSN]”. The first item I saw with an FSN was a 1954 contract M-1952 bulletproof vest. Thus, the range of adoption dates for the second “inventory number” should be from 1953 to 1973.
The “functional” date range should be from 1954 to 1974. After the DSA prefix and before the dating suffix (if applicable), additional numeric or alphanumeric codes may be displayed. These codes have nothing to do with the date of manufacture, but refer either to the defense contract or to a manufacturer`s code. Is this army or police in charge of the DRA / DBA (day little blurry, so it can not distinguish 100), the text “contract numbers” and below, is a text that I posted on the MCF forum, these are information that I have collected over the years from multiple sources and verified using examples in my collection, it`s just an abbreviated version of all the information, I have, I`m still working on it and I`m trying to update it, any help and exchange of information is welcome confirmed examples of contract numbers: prefix DA 1957 – 1961 on the day The first stock number listed, “72-R-307-112”, is often referred to as the Quartermaster stock number [QSN]. It was created in 1943 as part of the cataloguing system prescribed by the Ministry of Finance. I believe the first publication to list the NSQs for clothing and personal equipment was the 1946 QMC [reprints are available everywhere]. The first item I saw with a QSN was a contract item dated 1949 [there may be items dated earlier as I don`t collect items from the period when this “warehouse number” was used]. Thus, the range of adoption dates for the first “inventory number” should be from 1943 to 1953. The “functional” date range should be 194? – 1954 Here is some basic information about the contract number that I copied elsewhere.
I keep it in a notepad text file on my computer that I can easily access if necessary: military procurement was done through the Defense Supply Agency 1962-1977 and all contracts had a DSA prefix. The dates were per fiscal year. From July 1st to June 30th. Exercise 1962 had a prefix DSA 1 and a suffix E-62. 1963 and 1964 were the same, but replaced “63” or “64” in the suffix. The 1965 fiscal year will have only the prefix DSA 1 and no date code. The 1966 fiscal year will have a DSA 100 prefix and no date code. Starting in 1967, there will be a DSA 100 prefix plus a two-digit date code.
For example, contracts for the 1968 fiscal year have a prefix DSA 100-68. Just to give some clarity on the “inventory numbers” as the dates are all incorrect: the third “inventory number”, the National Inventory Number [NSN], was proposed in 1973 to add two additional digits to the NSF to indicate the country of origin – this code is called the National Codification Office Code [NCB]. This was done to bring the US NSN into line with NATO`s stockpile numbering system. The system was formally adopted on 30 September 1974. The first element I saw with an NSN was the elements of the Contract ALICE system dated 1974. Thus, the range of adoption dates for the third “inventory number” should be 1973 – today. The “functional” date range should be 1974 – today.

By the way, for items with an NSN – the second set of numbers helps to identify not only the country of origin, but in the case of American items, when the item was initially classified by type and assigned an inventory number. Example: [1] 8465-00-001-6482 – The “00” indicates that the item is from the United States, but also indicates that the item was classified before 1973. [2] 8415-01-183-6425 – the “01” indicates that the item is from the United States, but it also indicates that the item was classified after 1973. . .
