In the case of the DepEd, however, a school which does not fall under any of the above-
mentioned instances, will have an “Inactive” Organization Code which shall only be activated
once the school meets any of the said conditions.

code 01 is assigned to a lower-level operating unit classified as Central Office. As an exception, the
DOTC-Office of the Secretary (OSEC), which has three central offices, shall be assigned the
following codes: DOTC-OSEC Central Office – 01, Land Transportation Office - Central Office – 19

history of each agency.
In no case shall the old codes be used for any newly-created organizational entity.
