Catalog Management Data (CMD)

CMD is the range of management data applied to an item of supply, primarily restricted to the data necessary to acquire and account for the item at the requisitioner level. CMD together with Major Organizational Entity (MOE) Rule and related item status data constitute a record that tells how, why, where, when, and by whom items of supply are managed or used in the life cycle of materiel management.

a. All CMD furnished to the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS) will be submitted in accordance with the procedures contained herein. The input transactions forwarded to DLIS will be submitted only by an activity authorized to submit CMD as reflected in volume 10, table 104.

b. CMD procedures are applicable to the Defense Logistics Agency, Department of Defense Integrated Materiel Manager (IMM), the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, other Defense agencies, and when specified by agreement, other Federal agencies. CMD will not be stored at DLIS for nuclear ordnance items containing Commercial and Government Entity Code (CAGE) 57991, 67991, 77991, or 87991. These items are identified in the FLIS data base by Item Name Code (INC) 97991. CMD will also not be stored at DLIS for Special Operations items containing CAGE 1USS1. These items are identified in the FLIS by INC 07991.

c. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardized Agreement (STANAG) 4199 provides for a uniform system of exchange of Materiel Management Data between NATO countries. Rules and procedures for the NATO system of exchange of Materiel Management Data are published in the NATO Manual for Codification (NMC).

d. The following goals/objectives are accommodated in this procedure:

(1) To develop and maintain the basis for the orderly collection, receipt, control, validation, editing, file maintenance, statistical reporting, and analysis of CMD as provided by the Services/Agencies.

(2) To establish the data base necessary to support that portion of the DLIS publication mission that involves CMD.

(3) To provide the interchangeability and substitutability (I&S) application with required Phrase Code data to construct FLIS I&S relationships.

(4) To provide the Source of Supply (SOS) application with Service/Agency submitted SOS information for subsequent processing and output to the Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) in accordance with established time frames.

(5) To assure compatibility between data recorded as a result of National Item Identification Number (NIIN) assignment/reinstatement or adoption, standardization decisions, and subsequent CMD information, based on an established effective date.

(6) Establish necessary internal system controls to ensure accurate and responsive service to requiring FLIS participants, and apprise management of problems, trends, and follow-up results.
