JETDAS SOURCE REQUEST NUMBER FORMAT (PROPOSED)

Where:

'AAA'     =  2-6 alphanumeric characters (indicates Department/Agency/PM/unit, etc.)

'BBBB'   =  4 digit year

'CCCC'   =  sequential package number for submitter in this year

'DDD'     =  sequential item number for this item within a package

'EEE'       =  total number of items in this package

Example #1:

SRN         =  DND-1997-0129-005-100

DND        =  Department code (Canadian DoD)

1997         =  year

0129         =  129th  package submitted by Canada this year

005           =  5th  item in this package

100           =  total of 100 items in this package

Example #2:

SRN         =  DND-1997-0141-001-001

DND        =  Department code (Canadian DoD)

1997         =  year

0141         =  14 1st  package submitted by Canada this year

*001         =  1st  item in package

*001         =  total of 1 item in this package

*NOTE 1:  The last six digits are required even if the package consists of a single

RFN.

NOTE 2:   A source request number can only be used once.

An example of a submittal of a package containing 5 items or requests for nomenclature is as follows:

DND-1997-0166-001-005

DND-1997-0166-002-005

DND-1997-0166-003-005

DND-1997-0166-004-005

DND-1997-0166-005-005
