What is the NSN for JP5?

• A. 9130-00-273-2379
• B. 9130-00-000-0000
• C. 9020-00-000-0000
• D. 4730-00-000-0000

Answer: (A)

NSN numbers combine a Federal Supply Class with a National Item Identification Number to uniquely identify an item across the DoD. For JP-5, the FSC is 9130, which covers fuels and related products. The NIIN is 00-273-2379, where the leading 00 is the U.S. country code and 273-2379 is the unique item identifier for JP-5. Put together, 9130-00-273-2379 precisely designates JP-5 in the supply system. Other options would use a different FSC or a non-existent/invalid NIIN (such as all zeros), so they don’t correspond to JP-5.
