Optional Form 315 (OF 315): Incident Replacement Requisition

Optional Form 315 (OF 315), Incident Replacement Requisition, is a requisition for replacing equipment and supplies at an incident. The form names no issuing agency. Its footer reads OPTIONAL FORM 315 (4/2000) with NSN 7540-01-475-0708, and GSA hosts it in its forms library.

The front asks for the incident order number and name, an accounting/management code, agency billing and shipping addresses, who authorized the order and who placed it, dates and times, the requested method of delivery, and a table of items by request number, NFES number, quantity, unit of issue and description. The back has instructions for Type I or II incidents and for Type III or IV incidents. The PDF holds four copies: Original Cache, Incident Supply, Ordering Unit and Extra.

The form says replacement orders must be processed within 30 days of control of the incident. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
