25517 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CANNIBALIZATION AND DIVERSIONS OF GOVERNMENT FURNISHED MATERIAL AND
CONTRACTOR FURNISHED MATERIAL
1. GENERAL. Cannibalization or diver- sion of government furnished material and contractor furnished material, although it may satisfy an immediate critical require- ment, could have a significant adverse effect on the overall logistics support posture of the Navy. For this reason, these actions will be considered as a last resort only.
2 . P O L I C Y
a. Assets in Short Supply. When assets are in short supply cannibalization or di- v e r s i o n o f g o v e r n m e n t f u r n i s h e d m a t e r i a l a n d c o n t r a c t o r f u r n i s h e d m a t e r i a l i s a u - thorized in the following precedence:
1. U.S. combat, combat ready, and direct c o m b a t s u p p o r t f o r c e s d e p l o y e d o u t - side the United States with an, issue priority designator or higher, with- out qualification;
2 . i n t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s , a c t i v i t i e s a n d units authorized to as sign an issue p r i o r i t y d e s i g n a t o r or higher, if a production line or work stoppage will . not be caused;
3. retail requirements with issue priority
designator or higher needed within seven days by a maintenance activity to correct a casualty report (CASREPT) o r not operationally ready supply (NORS) deficiency to the extent prac- ticable and feasible;
4. other end use requirements with issue p r i o r i t y d e s i g n a t o r s to the ex- tent practicable and feasible.
b. Alternate Actions. When the schedule estimated availability date reflected in sup- p l y s t a t u s i s c o n s i d e r e d u n s a t i s f a c t o r y t o m e e t a h i g h p r i o r i t y o p e r a t i o n a l r e q u i r e - ment, the cognizant type commander first will a t t e m p t t o s a t i s f y t h e r e q u i r e m e n t through alternate actions such as a loan or internal cannibalization. Inventory managers will not attempt cannibalization action or diversion of government and contractor fur- nished material until requested by the type commander after the alternate sources have been exhausted.
c. Industrial and Diversion Costs. Except when insignificant, industrial and diversion costs associated with cannibalization and the diversion of government and contractor fur- nished material will be borne by the inven- tory manager responsible for managing the item.
3. POTENTIAL CANDIDATES
a. Manual P r o c e s s i n g o f R e q u i s i t i o n s .
