The SN74HCU04PWT from Texas Instruments is a pin-compatible second-source in a similar 14-TSSOP package. It has the same 6-circuit inverter function, 2V supply, and 5.2mA output drive, but its temperature range is -40°C to 85°C — narrower than the CD74HCU04M96's -55°C to 125°C. For full military temp, the CD74HCU04M96 is the better fit.
