About this file
This is an appendix from the Defense Transportation Regulation that provides guidance on constructing two-position alpha codes for Direct Procurement Method (DPM) shipments of personal property. DPM alpha codes are entered in Block 3 (Service Code) of the Personal Property Government Bill of Lading/Bill of Lading on all DPM shipments.
The first alpha position designates the commodity type being shipped: Ammunition (A), Unaccompanied Baggage/personal effects (B), Household Goods (H), or Expensive and Valuable Items (V). The second position designates the type of DPM service used, which varies based on movement category: Domestic (DOM) movements within the Continental United States, International (INTL) movements between CONUS and overseas areas, Intertheater (INTE) movements between overseas theaters, and Intratheater (INTR) movements within a single overseas theater. Within each category, service codes differentiate between transportation modes and carriers, including motor carrier (MTR/SUR), commercial air (COMM), military air (MIL/AMC), military ocean (MSC/SUR), and other services not otherwise identified (PP). For example, code "BL" represents unaccompanied baggage (B) transported via intertheater commercial air service (L). The appendix provides a comprehensive reference table listing all valid two-character code combinations for DPM shipment classification.

APPENDIX A-H
ALPHA CODES FOR DIRECT PROCUREMENT METHOD (DPM) SHIPMENTS
A. GENERAL
This appendix provides guidance for the construction of two-position alpha codes for DPM shipments. DPM alpha codes will be entered in the “Service Code (Block 3)” of the Personal Property Government Bill of Lading/Bill of Lading on all DPM shipments. The first position will designate the commodity shipped (Paragraph B, below), and the second position will designate the type of DPM service used (Paragraph C, below). For example, in constructing a DPM alpha code for an intertheater shipment of unaccompanied baggage through commercial air, the code for unaccompanied baggage (B) will be found in Paragraph B, and the code for (INTE/AIR/COMM/DPM) (L) will be found in Paragraph C.3. Therefore, “BL” is the correct DPM alpha code for this shipment.
