Aeronautical support equipment costing more than $250 but less than $3500, with ALC providing initial provisioning but not subsequent replacement or repair, is which type material?

• A. Type 3
• B. Type 7
• C. Type 6
• D. Type 1

Answer: (C)

Material types capture how an item is funded, provisioned, and maintained, including who does the provisioning and who is responsible for repair or replacement, with cost bands guiding the policy.

For aeronautical support equipment in the $250 to $3500 range where the Aviation Logistics Center provides the initial provisioning but does not handle subsequent replacement or repair, the category that fits is Type 6. This type reflects that mid-range cost equipment that is issued once by the central provisioning source, with ongoing repairs or replacements not managed by that source. The other types represent different cost bands or different maintenance and provisioning arrangements, such as items that are repaired or replaced within the supply chain at other levels or items outside this price window.
