NFES Catalog Part 1 – General InformationGENERAL INFORMATIONFor convenience Part 1 of the catalog has been separated into sections as follows: HAZMAT SHIPPING GUIDE SUPPLY FORMS SIGNS KITS COMMUNICATIONS ALPHABETICAL INDEX NUMERICAL INDEXITEM LOCATION IDENTIFIERSThe location identifier shown with each item refers to the NISC(s) that stock the item. Please refer to these identifiers when placing an order. A reference list is provided below.NRK Northern Rockies Area, Missoula, MTNWK Northwest Area, Redmond, ORBFK Billings, Billings, MTLGK LaGrande, LaGrande, ORCDK Coeur D’Alene, Coeur D’Alene, IDWFK Wenatchee, Wenatchee, WARMK Rocky Mountain Area, Lakewood, COSAK Southern Area, London, KYPFK Southwest Area, Prescott, AZNEK Eastern Area, Grand Rapids, MNSFK Southwest Area, Hurley, NMGBK Great Basin Area, Boise, IDLSK Southern California, Ontario, CAAKK Alaska Fire Service, Fairbanks, AKNCK Northern California, Redding, CAUNIT OF ISSUEThere is an assigned national standard for the Unit of Issue (U/I) for every item in this catalog that must be usedwhen placing an order.Many item descriptions have a reference to a Standard Pack (Std Pk) amount. This reference is helpful when ordering large quantities of an item. For example, while the unit of issue for a Pulaski is EA, the standard pack is 10 perbox. If the number of Pulaskis required on an incident were 45 it is highly recommended that the quantity requested be 50 EA. The incident would then receive 5 full boxes rather than 4 full boxes with 5 Pulaskis shipped amongstother items in another box.Incidents that request U/I quantities equal to the “Std Pk” amounts significantly decrease the material handlingtime at the cache when filling the order as well as during the return and refurbishment process.U/I abbreviations are as follows:2016 NFES Catalog Part 120 Fire and Equipment Supplies

All trackable items are also considered durable.These items must be returned to the NISC at the end of an incident. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the NISC for any losses.Accountable property reports are included in the communications kits; use as necessary to report lost or damaged equipment.100% accountability is expected for all trackable items.CONSUMABLE ITEMS: Those items normally expected to be consumed during an incident.Consumable items returned in serviceable condition will be credited to the incident.Examples of consumable items are: batteries, plastic canteens, cubitainers, forms, MREs, fusees, hot food containers, petroleum products, and medical supplies.SUPPLY ORDERSEMERGENCY ORDERSEmergency orders for incidents must be submitted via the current resource ordering process as defined within theNational Mobilization Guide. All orders submitted to a NISC must contain the following required information:2016 NFES Catalog Part 121 Fire and Equipment Supplies

NFES Catalog Part 1 – General Information Incident/Project Name and Incident Order Number Office Reference Number (accounting data including complete appropriate agency charge coding) Billing (Administrative) Address Contact Name and Phone Number Incident Jurisdiction/Agency and Ordering Office Quantity and Unit of Issue (U/I) for each item NFES Number and Brief Description for each item Shipment Delivery Date/Time Needed; Realistic timeframes, ASAP will not be considered a priority Shipping Address – must be physical; do not use a PO Box Shipping method - NISCs are able to ship by air or surface transportation. Priority Overnight Shipping mustbe requested specifically on the order; if there is not a physical address associated with the delivery point(e.g., ICP, Helibase, etc.), then driving directions and/or a map may be requiredDo not hesitate to ask for shipping recommendations from the NISC to insure orders will be delivered on time tomeet incident objectives. The servicing NISC will convey shipping information to the ordering office that will includethe incident order number, the (S) numbers for the items shipped, items cancelled, substitutions, the estimated oractual time of delivery and the shipping method used. If items are shipped to a destination for pick up by a designated person (i.e., “Hold & Call @ xxx airport”), that person must be provided with enough in-formation to knowwhat to look for, have the assigned tracking numbers and most importantly where to pick up the items.Emergency resource orders for an active incident are processed as “Fill or Kill”, meaning that if an item is not available or cannot be substituted, that item and the (S) number will be cancelled. Items will not be back ordered onemergency supply resource orders. Once an (S) number has been cancelled, should an incident desire to attempt areorder in the future, a new (S) number will need to be generated.PREPAREDNESS ORDERSPreparedness (routine) fire supply orders should be directed to the source of supply (i.e., DLA, GSA or private vendors), not the NISC.* There are a few supplies considered sole-source items that may be ordered by agencies in very limited circumstances.* Contact the NISC in your geographic area for specific information regarding preparedness ordering procedures/policies, sole-source availability and/or private vendors.Each preparedness order creates an account for which the ordering office is responsible for payment. Submission ofany order constitutes an agreement that ordering offices will make payment for items ordered as well as the associated shipping charges.Items returned by the ordering offices will receive credit for the serviceable items only. Many items can be refurbished to serviceable condition and credit will be given when such work has been completed. Refurbishment costswill be charged to the original ordering office.INCIDENT REPLACEMENT ORDERSTHESE ORDERS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF CONTROL OF THE INCIDENT.2016 NFES Catalog Part 122 Fire and Equipment Supplies

NFES Catalog Part 1 – General InformationGovernment Property – The incident agency should limit replacement to NFES items that are consumed, lost,damaged or rendered unserviceable on the incident. These items can be replaced at the incident or the incidentcan approve an Incident Replacement Requisition, OF-315 for replacement of items by a cache or at the home unit.Replacement of NFES items not carried by the cache supporting the incident (e.g. Wildland Firefighting Pants, TypeII) must be authorized using an Incident Replacement Requisition, and the items should be replaced through theDLA wildland fire equipment program.Caches may only process requests for NFES items. Requests for non-NFES items should be requested on a separateincident replacement requisition to be processed by the home unit.IMTs or other incident personnel (e.g., IBA) may authorize replacement of non-NFES (non-standard cache) items ifdelegated authority by the incident agency. If no delegation exists documentation is provided to the incident agency for review and determination. Written documentation is provided to the home unit, if authorized by the incidentagency, for the replacement of government property items that have been destroyed or rendered otherwise unserviceable while being used on the incident.Replacement of non-standard items not procured through mandatory sources of supply may be authorized up to adollar limit identified through these sources; costs beyond this amount should be covered by home unit programdollars. Prototype equipment will not be replaced with suppression funds. The incident agency may require thedamaged property be turned in before replacement is authorized.Property numbered items must be carefully tracked and property records documented.Further information on this process is available in the Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook (PMS902), available online at: https://www.nwcg.gov/publications/902The OF 315 Form is also available online at: E 1 and TYPE 2 INCIDENTS:The incident Supply Unit Leader (SPUL) is responsible for handling the incident replacement requisitions when aTYPE 1 or TYPE 2 incident management team is assigned.
