What is a NATO Stock Number (NSN)?
A NATO Stock Number (NSN) is a 13-digit code that uniquely identifies a standardized item of supply used by NATO and allied armed forces. It is built from a 4-digit Federal Supply Class, a 2-digit National Codification Bureau code, and a 7-digit item number, assigned under the NATO Codification System.
What is a Federal Supply Class (FSC)?
A Federal Supply Class (FSC) is the first 4 digits of an NSN — a code that groups items into commodity classes. Dibblee Industries' catalogue is organized by FSC, for example FSC 4010 (Chain & Wire Rope) and FSC 3940 (Blocks, Tackle, Rigging & Slings).
What is NCAGE L0TZ1?
L0TZ1 is the NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) code that identifies Dibblee Industries in the NATO Codification System. It marks the company as a registered supplier of NATO-codified items, sourcing from Canada to allied buyers.
