4.6.11.3 Bench Stocks are not to be used as a repository for excess items that cannot otherwise be justified for retention in authorized Stores, Program, or Standby Stocks.

(4) Unit price.
(5) Stock level (maximum and minimum quantities to be stocked).
(6) Stock resupply point of the items maintained therein.
d. An organization shall assign a Bench Stock Monitor in writing to the Supply Officer.
(1) The monitor will be responsible, at a minimum, for:
(a) Recommending Bench Stock additions and deletion items.
(b) Tracking, issuing, controlling access to, and ordering replenishment of Bench Stock.
(c) Creating controls to ensure only authorized users are issued items from the Bench Stocks.
