Data types include cross reference from commercial part numbers and military specifications (mil-spec) to national stock number (NSN) as well as current and historical contract awards, current contract solicitation records as well as many technical and logistical databases. Data is perpetually updated and aggregated into standardized formats for our customers and subscribing infomation retrieval systems.

In the past decade the DSGI databases have provided information to many thousands of individual military and defense contractor personnel. Through the integration of this data critical purchase decisions can be streamlined with an overall view of each NSN which translates into streamlined procurement that our Armed Forces depend on.

Many specific requirements can be fulfilled via the DSGI reference databases, but here are a few examples of common uses for illustration purposes...

• Indentify and browse entire federal stock classes (FSC)
• Research NSN's by CAGE code (supplier)
• Part number to NSN cross-reference
• Mil-spec to NSN cross-reference
• NSN to part number cross-reference
• NSN to Mil-spec cross-reference
• Research item price data - historical and current
• Check obsolescence of items
• Review DEMIL status of individual items
• Identify contractors (by CAGE or name)
• View primary and secondary supply sources
• Find qualified substitutions for NSN's
