Type classification assignment For assignment of TC, the PM will— a. Prepare the TC package for consideration by the in-process review (IPR) and approval by the appropriate MDA. DA Pam 70–3 provides a sample format that can be used to document TC recommendations for the IPR. Logistics control codes (LCCs) associated with the TC will also be annotated. (1) An IPT will recommend TC for ACAT I–III programs to the MDA as part of an IPR.
(2) The Army Uniform Board recommends TC for CIE items to the Chief of Staff, Army, who serves as MDA and TC approval authority for CIE, including clothing bag items, and optional purchase items. b. Assign TC per tables 3–1 and 3–2. Table 3–1 Type classification designation Notes: 1 Type-classify UMR materiel that has not been previously type classified as LP, unless the materiel qualifies for an exemption as outlined in chapter 1. c.
Table 3–2 describes the interrelationships between TC designations, the acquisition decision framework milestone as outlined in DODD 5000.1, logistics control codes assigned using DA Pam 708–3 and the Army Adopted Items of Materiel and List of Reportable Items listed in SB 700–20. Table 3–2 Type classification designation and elements crosswalk 12 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008 Type Description STD Standard is used for materiel determined to be acceptable for the mission intended, capable of being supported in their intended environment, and acceptable for introduction into the U.S. Army inventory.
Standard is also for ma- teriel that is capable of being made acceptable without any further developmental effort prior to fielding. This des- ignation includes materiel that has been or is being replaced by new STD materiel but is still acceptable for the intended missions. Limited procurement (LP) LP is used when materiel is required for a limited time, and the specified limited quantity will be procured under this classification1. LP includes: low rate initial productions, initial quantities for operational test and evaluation, demonstrations, materiel procured based upon ONS, and so on.
Unless otherwise directed by HQDA, a program review must be scheduled within 3 years of TC–LP to determine the continuing need for the materiel and recom- mend an extension of the LP expiration date or to reclassify the materiel to standard. Obsolete (OBS) OBS is used for materiel no longer required or acceptable for U.S. Army use. Materiel is considered OBS when the MDA approves TC OBS. Remove OBS materiel from authorization documents. Materiel will be disposed of in accordance with disposal instructions provided by the PM/LCMC. OBS materiel will not be reissued to or reprocured for Army units; however, it may be made available to support the international logistics program.
