BY THE COvIPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED         STATES                            9        -v


Fragmented Management Delays

Centralized Federal Cataloging

And Standardization Of 5 Million

Supply Items




It has been nearly 30 years since the Federal
Catalog  System  was created, yet
congressional intent has not been   fully
achieved.  Notable  progress  has  been  made,  I
but duplication of supply items continues to
hamper effective Government logistics.
Duplication will continue unless substantial
changes are made in the management of
cataloging and standardization.

Each item erroneously cataloged or entered
into the system adds from a few hundred
dollars to over $30,000 annually in costs.
The basic problem is shared jointly by the
General Services Administration and the
Department of Defense, and each has its
own  viewpoint. A     Government-wide
perspective is needed.
