Sec. 101-29.221  Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item 

Description Program (Federal Standardization Program).



    The Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item 

Description Program is a standardization program developed under 

authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 

1949, as amended (63 Stat. 377) in consonance with the Defense 

Cataloging and Standardization Act (Sections 2451-2456, title 10, U.S.C. 

chapter 145), managed by the General Services Administration, for the 

purpose of coordinating civilian and military standardization functions 

to avoid unnecessary duplication. Within the program, procedures and 

controls govern the development, coordination, approval, issuance, 

indexing, management, and maintenance of product descriptions in the 

Federal series (Federal specifications, Federal standards, and CID's) 

that define commercial products and products that have high potential 

for common Federal agency use.
