The H2 FSC (Federal Supply Class) and the H6 INC (Item Name Code) database is part of the H-Series Handbooks Service, in addition to the H4/H8 vendor data (CAGE).
The H2 FSC data can help you define FSC codes and determine the correct FSC for items of supply. The FSC is a four-digit code assigned to all standardization documents. Items of supply in the Federal Catalog System that are similar in physical or performance characteristics, are requisitioned together, or are grouped together for supply management purposes and are included in the same Federal Supply Class. The primary application of the FSC code is in the National Stock Number (NSN). The NSN for an item of supply consists of the applicable four-digit FSC code plus the nine-digit National Item Identification Number (NIIN).
H6 INC data contains information on all item names and definitions in the Federal Supply System. It provides the associated Federal Supply Classifications (FSCs), Approved Item Names (AINs), non-approved item names, Federal Item Identification Guides (FIIGs), and Item Name Codes (INCs).
