This session provides a practical, step-by-step walkthrough of the National Stock Number (NSN) assignment process managed by Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Logistics Information Services. Participants will gain an understanding of how items are identified, documented, screened, and cataloged within the Federal Logistics Information System, with emphasis on the information required to support accurate item identification and supply support. The session is designed to help provisioning and cataloging practitioners better understand the NSN request process, common challenges, and best practices for improving submission quality, reducing delays, and supporting effective lifecycle logistics.
