How should a UII be constructed for surplus, remanufactured, or overhauled items?
If the item does not already have IUID and meets the criteria for IUID, the enterprise furnishing the item to the Government must provide UII marking as part of the purchase price. In situations where subcontractors are furnishing items to the prime contractor, it is the responsibility of the prime contractor to ensure that the items are marked in accordance with IUID requirements prior to furnishing to the Government, either by flowing down the requirements to the subcontractor or by marking the items themselves.
