Which shelf-life type is non-extendible and cannot be issued beyond its expiration?

• A. Type I shelf-life items
• B. Type II shelf-life items
• C. Non-shelf-life items
• D. Extendible shelf-life items

Answer: (A)

Shelf-life categories determine whether an item can be issued after its expiration. Type I shelf-life items are designated non-extendible, meaning once the expiration date passes, they cannot be issued or used. They must be removed from service and handled for disposal or disposition rather than continued use. Type II items are extendible, so they can be extended under established procedures and still be issued within the extended window. Non-shelf-life items have no shelf-life date to begin with, and extendible shelf-life items refer to those that can have their shelf life extended under policy. Therefore, the item type that is non-extendible and cannot be issued beyond its expiration is Type I shelf-life items.
