Sec. 101-30.101-2  Item of supply.



    Item of supply means an item of production that is purchased, 

cataloged, and assigned a national stock number by the Government. The 

item of supply is determined by the requirements of each Government 

agency's supply system. The item of supply concept differentiates one 

item from another item in the Federal Catalog System. Each item of 

supply is expressed in and fixed by a national item identification 

number. An item of supply may be:

    (a) A single item of production;

    (b) Two or more items of production that are functionally 

interchangeable;

    (c) A more precise quality controlled item than the regular item of 

production, or

    (d) A modification of a regular item of production.
