Code D indicates that an aircraft is grounded or that a weapon system/simulator is not available for tasking and all work has stopped specifically for the lack of a spare or spares. Emphasis on the use of a D state is placed on all work stopped. If work on a particular system has ceased, but work on other systems is still progressing, the requirement does not qualify as a Delta state but should be reported as a P state, providing it meets the criteria detailed below
Code C indicates that an aircraft or weapon system or simulator, though serviceable, is not capable of fulfilling its operational role through lack of certain spares. For weapon systems operating in support of an operation, this state is to be given the same management and movement attention as a D state.
Code P indicates that an aircraft/simulator will be grounded or that a weapon system will become unavailable for tasking, or that all work will stop within 14 days (21 days overseas) if essential spares are not received.
Code S is used for Priming Equipment Pack (PEP), Fly Away Pack (FAP), Aircraft Spares Pack (ASP), Deployable Spares Pack (DSP) and Critical Item List (CRIT List) Demands. Code S demands are further broken down as follows:
S1: Indicates an empty line in a PEP, FAP, ASP, DSP or CRIT List Spare which, if not supplied, would probably result in AOG within 14 days.
S2: Indicates a line in a PEP, FAP, ASP, DSP or CRIT List Spare which is below scale and warrants replenishment so as to prevent a future AOG arising.

Priority codes for supply:
Operational
SPC 1 is for ‘Operational Immediate Demands’ which will be processed IMMEDIATELY and items moved by FASTEST POSSIBLE MEANS of transport. This may include use of civil aircraft and/or other agencies, and the assistance of the demanding unit to collect consignments if necessary and appropriate.
Authority for Operational Units to use SPC 1 can only be given by Command HQs/PJHQ, or exceptionally, the Operational theatre Commanding officer (if delegated).
SPC 1 demands must be processed on a 24
SPC 2 is for ‘Operational Priority Demands’ which will be moved by the FASTEST APPROPRIATE ECONOMIC MEANS of transport, tempered by a cost consideration, to meet the SCPT. This may require the use of the RAF Air Transport Fleet (ATF) and/or commercial carriers. SPC 2 demands may require the assistance of demanding units to collect consignments if appropriate.
Authority for Operational Units to use SPC 2 can only be given by SO2/SO3 level Logistics officers/QMs or more often than not, delegated to Operational unit Logistic or Supply Warrant officers.
SPC 2 demands must be processed on a 24 hour, 7 day a week basis and may be delivered out of working hours.
For supply to overseas operations this is the ‘must fly’ code.
SPCs 3/4 are to be used for ‘Operational Routine Demands’ which will be moved by using an APPROPRIATE ECONOMIC MEANS of transport to meet the SCPT.
For supply to overseas operations this is the ‘surface movement’ code.
Operational unit Logistic Personnel only can authorise the use of SPCs 3/4.
Non Operational
SPC 5 is for ‘Immediate Non-Operational Demands’ and may only be used by a unit in very urgent and special circumstances. It is to be confined to immediate needs where delivery is required as soon as possible. Commanders must ensure that they have the necessary Command Authority to use SPC 5, monitor demands and police abuse of this SPC. The following examples are not intended to be exhaustive:
(1) Lifesaving, Health and Safety Requirements. SPC 5 may be used by any unit, when requiring materiel for imminent lifesaving, disaster relief or any other activity of an urgent humanitarian nature, when deficiencies would directly prejudice relief activity or cause serious personal hazard. Medical units may use SPC 5 to demand medical supplies, which are certified by a Medical officer as being required for urgent treatment purposes.
(2) Ships with Operational Deficiency (OPDEF) and Defect Repair (DEFREP). Normally Cat B2 and above.
(3) Mission Critical Items. Where lack of a mission critical item would seriously prejudice a specific task or exercise, such as firing camps, or a unit’s preparation for mounting an operation.
(4) Aircraft on Ground (AOG/Role Restricted). Unable to complete its required role (C State) or is AOG (D State).
(5) Trials. Where delays to trials can have both an operational impact, as well as contractual or financial implications, if stores do not arrive on time.
SPC 5 demands will be moved by using the FASTEST APPROPRIATE MEANS OF TRANSPORT. I.e. Items may be allocated specific transport if scheduled services will not meet the SCPT.
Authority for Units to use SPC 5 can only be given by Command HQs or exceptionally, the Unit Commanding officer (if delegated).
SPC 5 demands must be processed on a 24 hour, 7 day a week basis and items may be delivered out of working hours.
SPC 9 is for ‘Priority Non-Operational Demands’ which will be moved using the FASTEST SCHEDULED MEANS of transport. This may require use of RAF Air Transport Force (ATF) and/or commercial carriers. SPC 9 demands may require the assistance of demanding units to collect consignments if appropriate.
Authority for Units to use SPC 9 can only be given by unit SO2 /SO3 level Logistics officers or more often than not, delegated to unit Logistic or Supply Warrant officers.
SPC 9 must be processed on a 24 hour, 7 day a week basis and items may be delivered out of working hours.
SPCs 13/16 are to be used for ‘Routine Non-Operational Demands’ required for initial equipping, restoring stock levels, maintenance demands and all other routine, non-urgent demands for both units and deployed store holding organisations. SPCs 13/16 are to be moved by the MOST ECONOMIC MEANS of transport.
Unit Logistic Personnel only can authorise the use of SPCs 13/16.
