"Data qualifier" means a specified character (or string of characters) that immediately precedes a data field that defines the general category or intended use of the data that follows. "DoD recognized unique identification equivalent" means a unique identification method that is in commercial use and has been recognized by DoD.

"Enterprise" means the entity (e.g., a manufacturer or vendor) responsible for assigning unique item identifiers to items. "Enterprise identifier" means a code that is uniquely assigned to an enterprise by an issuing agency.
