Know before you order
Vendors apply this NSN to both Case A (menus 1-12) and Case B (menus 13-24); sources found in this session tie 8970-00-149-1094 to Case A (Cheaper Than Dirt) and to a Case B listing (Coleman's), so it appears to be the general MRE case NSN rather than case-specific.
Reported variant: standard 12-meal case.
