Purpose. This regulation establishes uniform Source Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR) codes for all Department of Defense services/participating agencies (PAs) and prescribes policy and interprets guidelines for the initial assignment, changes to and application of these codes. This publication reflects the changes in terminology required by the MIL-PRF-49506, Performance Specification, Logistics Management Information, which replaces MIL-STD-1388-2, DOD Requirements for a Logistics Support Analysis Record. Uniform SMR codes will be used by all Department of Defense (DoD) services/PAs. Subject to the service options contained herein, each service/PA will ensure that the coding structure and application of these codes are used by their logistics management systems in order to provide uniformity and a means of inter-service/agency communication of information for multi-service/agency equipments. All services/PAs are not required to use every SMR code contained herein. However, only codes contained herein will be used when SMR codes are assigned. A table of approved SMR codes for all services/PAs is located at Appendix B, Table B-1.

Applicability. This instruction applies to all DoD activities, participating agencies and contractors involved with supportability analysis summaries (SAS) and provisioning/item selection functions by or for DoD weapons, systems, equipments, publications, software/hardware, training/training devices, and support equipment.
