Item Reduction Program

Our Mission is to standardize items used throughout the Defense Department to the highest practical degree by using single specifications and standards and reducing the number of sizes and kinds of items that are generally similar. The objectives are to consolidate requirements under standard NSNs, thereby improving the operational readiness of our military customers, and to conserve resources.

The Standardization Management Activity support focuses on the oversight and policy implementation of the various facets of the DoD Standardization Program and functions as the Lead Standardization Activity (LSA) for various DLA Land and Maritime managed Federal Supply Classes (FSCs).
