Federal Item Name Directory for Supply Logistics Search

Department of Defense data supports identification of supply items within the Federal Catalog System. The dataset enables searches by Keyword, Federal Supply Class (FSC), Federal Item Identification Guide (FIIG), and Item Name Code (INC). It was last updated in November 2020.

Use Cases

• Map Item Name Code (INC) values to corresponding Federal Supply Class (FSC) categories for inventory system integration.
• Analyze keyword search patterns against Federal Item Identification Guide (FIIG) data to improve supply chain discovery tools.
• Validate and standardize item identifications using the structured Federal Supply Class (FSC) and Item Name Code (INC) fields.

Strengths

• Official data from the U.S. Department of Defense, a primary authority for federal supply logistics.
• Provides four distinct search dimensions: Keyword, FSC, FIIG, and INC for flexible data access.
• Supports the Federal Catalog System, a standardized framework for government item identification.

Limitations

• The dataset's last update was in November 2020, potentially missing newer supply items or classifications.
• Specific data volume, row count, and column structure are unknown, limiting assessment of analytical scope.
• As a search tool interface, the underlying data's direct accessibility and format for bulk analysis are unclear.
