This form will be attached to an unserviceable item that is nonreparable at ALC and will be sent to an outside vendor or manufacturer for repair.

• A. DD FORM 1577-2 - Unserviceable ( Reparable ) Tag ( Blue )
• B. DD FORM 1577 - Unserviceable ( Condemned ) Tag ( Red )
• C. CG - 1577 - B (PQDR Tag)
• D. ALC 5000-5 Tag

Answer: (A)

When an item is unserviceable but still repairable outside the in-house shop, you tag it as repairable. The Unserviceable (Reparable) Tag, which uses a blue tag and DD Form 1577-2, is attached to the item to indicate it cannot be used in its current state but can be repaired by an external vendor or manufacturer. This tag signals to all involved that the item should be quarantined from use and directed to repair, then returned ready for reissue.

The red Condemned Tag would apply to items that are not repairable at all and are to be discarded or otherwise disposed of. The PQDR Tag is for documenting a product quality deficiency and isn’t the tag used to route items for repair. The ALC 5000-5 Tag isn’t the standard tag for this scenario.
