    The document presents a Unit of Issue and Purchase Unit Conversion Table utilized by the Department of Defense (DoD) to facilitate the translation of internal DoD unit codes into valid ANSI ASC X12 codes for logistics systems. This guide ensures that both the sender and receiver use standard codes, allowing users to interact with familiar DoD values under the FEDSTRIP system. The table lists various DoD nomenclatures alongside their corresponding X12 codes, arranged in two formats—by DoD code and alphabetically by X12 code. Examples of units include "Ampoule" (DoD Code AM), "Bundle" (DoD Code BD), "Gallon" (DoD Code GL), and "Dozen" (DoD Code DZ), among others. This structured approach enhances clarity and consistency in managing logistics across multiple federal and civil agencies. The primary purpose of this document is to standardize unit of measurement codes within DoD logistics operations, thus improving communication and operational efficiency in federal procurement processes. This alignment is essential for accurate reporting and transaction processing in government-related activities.
