APPENDIX 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 [Para] B, below), and the second position will designate the type of DPM service used (Para 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 Para B, and the code for (INTE/AIR/COMM/DPM) (L) will be found in Para C.3. Therefore, “BL” is the correct DPM alpha code for this shipment.
