Are TMINS numbers used for requisitioning?

• A. No; stock numbers are used for requisitioning
• B. Yes; TMINS numbers are used for requisitioning
• C. Only for high-priority items
• D. Only for new publications

Answer: (A)

Stock numbers are the identifiers used to requisition items from the supply system. They uniquely map to a physical item, so the logistics process can locate, issue, and track the correct part. TMINS numbers identify technical manuals and publications, not the actual items to be supplied, so they aren’t used for ordering parts. If you need a publication, TMINS would be relevant, but for requisitioning the item itself you rely on the stock number.
