**(a)** The Secretary of Defense shall develop a single catalog system and related program of standardizing supplies for the Department of Defense.
**(b)** In cataloging, the Secretary shall name, describe, classify, and number each item recurrently used, bought, stocked, or distributed by the Department of Defense, so that only one distinctive combination of letters or numerals, or both, identifies the same item throughout the Department of Defense. Only one identification may be used for each item for all supply functions from purchase to final disposal in the field or other area. The catalog may consist of a number of volumes, sections, or supplements. It shall include all items of supply and, for each item, information needed for supply operations, such as descriptive and performance data, size, weight, cubage, packaging and packing data, a standard quantitative unit of measurement, and other related data that the Secretary determines to be desirable.
**(c)** In standardizing supplies the Secretary shall, to the highest degree practicable—
(1) standardize items used throughout the Department of Defense by developing and using single specifications, eliminating overlapping and duplicate specifications, and reducing the number of sizes and kinds of items that are generally similar;
(2) standardize the methods of packing, packaging, and preserving such items; and
(3) make efficient use of the services and facilities for inspecting, testing, and accepting such items.
**(d)** The Secretary shall coordinate with the Administrator of General Services to enable the use of commercial identifiers for commercial products (as defined in [section 103 of title 41](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title41-section103&num=0&edition=prelim)) within t

Pub. L. 98–94, title XII, § 1216, Sept. 24, 1983, 97 Stat.
688, directed Secretary of Defense to submit to Con-
gress, by June 1, 1984, a comprehensive report on man-
agement by Department of Defense of acquisition of
initial and replenishment spare parts and on status of
efforts within Department (including particularly the
Defense Logistics Agency and the military depart-
ments) to correct problems associated with increased
costs of such parts, directed Secretary, not later than
Dec. 1, 1983, to submit to Congress an interim report
stating briefly the actions being taken by the Depart-
ment to improve acquisition and management of spare
parts, and directed Secretary to put into effect at the
earliest practicable date policies and procedures to
achieve a long-term solution to problems relating to
excessive costs of, and long lead times in the acquisi-
tion of, initial and replenishment spare parts.
§ 2453. Supply catalog: distribution and use
The Secretary of Defense shall distribute the
parts of the supply catalog described in section
2451 of this title as they are completed. Existing
catalogs shall be replaced according to schedules
established by the Secretary. After replacement
no other supply catalog may be used within the
Department of Defense with respect to the kinds
of items covered by that part. All property re-
ports and records shall use the nomenclature,
item numbers, and descriptive data of the sup-
ply catalog.
