Tailored Data Products
(TDP) are extracts of data from the Federal Logistics Information System
(FLIS), and are created according to the specific needs of our Government
customers. The FLIS contains comprehensive cataloging data on all the
items of supply procured by the Federal Government. Based on customer
requirements, complete cataloging data or any part of it can be extracted
and provided on various forms of output media. Working closely with
you, we can jointly determine your data, format, and output media requirements.
Our technological capabilities give us tremendous flexibility in handling
data requests. We can provide TDPs on a one-time basis, or we can schedule
your TDP to be produced at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, etc.).
The Defense Supply
Centers, Military Services, Civilian Agencies, other DoD affiliates
and Foreign Governments are among the users of the TDP program. If you
are not among these users but would like to obtain FLIS data, see the
Freedom of Information page for further information.
The type of information available includes Identification Data, MOE
Rule Data, Reference Number Data, Item Standardization Data, Management
Data, Coded or Decoded Characteristics Data, Commercial and Government
Entity (CAGE) data and Central Contract Registry (CCR) data. Data obtained
through the TDP program is used to support a variety of functions, such
as:
- Technical support
for various special projects.
- DLA DEMIL review.
- Engineering practice
studies.
- Database establishment/validation.
- Tool development
and item upgrades
