publishing instructions for use of the Department of Defense (DoD) Uniform Materiel
Movement and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS).
b. Major changes to this revision: provides supplemental guidance on Commander, Naval
Supply Systems Command’s (COMNAVSUPSYSCOM) responsibility to monitor each
requisitioning unit’s compliance with reference (c) and to validate priority designators’ (PD)
assignments. This instruction is a complete revision and should be reviewed in its entirety.
2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST 4614.1G.
3. Applicability. This instruction applies to all Navy activities using the federal supply system.
4. General. UMMIPS is for establishing movement priorities and methods to allocate materiel
and other logistics resources among competing demands. The system enables supply customers
to use one of the 15 PDs when requisitioning supply items. The 15 PDs are derived from the two
component criteria that rate the relative importance of the item ordered (the urgency of need
designator (UND)) and the relative importance of the mission of the unit placing the order.
Definitions and policy regarding PDs, force/activity designators (F/AD), and UNDs are
described in detail in references (a) and (b).
