1A5.1. NIMSCs identify the degree of s upport received by an individual Secondary Inventory Control
Activity (SICA) or identify the service(s) performing depot maintenance (DM) for a lead service (Primary
Inventory Control Activity (PICA)). A nonconsumable item has been defined as an item of supply
which is managed by one or more military services as a nonconsumable (for example, major end item,
depot reparable, or nonstock funded consumable). A Service management mix of consumable-end items,
consumable-depot reparable, etc., is therefore considered as a nonconsumable and is not authorized by
the PICA-Level of Authority (LOA) 06/SICA-LOA 67 id entity for Integrated Materiel Manager/Service
Item Control Center (IMM/SICC) relationships. (NOTE: The US Coast Guard, National Weather Service
and Federal Aviation Administration can now use all Nonconsumable Item Materiel Support Codes applicable
to SICA Level of Authority (LOA) 8D. The USCG can never use PICA LOA 22.
1A5.1.1. Exception Item (End Item of Equipment ): NIMSC 1 identifies a SICA managed end item
of equipment for which depot maintenance has been retained or is managed as a consumable. PICA
is responsible for the wholesale logistics support functions of single submitter of cataloging data,
acquisition and disposal authority. Supply support requirements will be submitted by the SICA to the
PICA on Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests (MIPRs) unless otherwise directed by the
PICA. The SICA is responsible for the wholesale stock, and issue functions, in support of SICA
activities.

1A5.1.2. Exception item (Non-Consumable or SICA Managed Consumable): NIMSC 2 identifies
SICA managed non-consumable components or SICA managed consumables. PICA is responsible
for the logistics functions of single submitter of cataloging data, acquisition and disposal authority.
Supply support requirements will be submitted by the SICA to the PICA on MIPRs unless otherwise
directed by PICA. The SICA service has retained the wholesale stock, and issue functions in support
of SICA activities and has retained depot repair capability, where applicable.
