The Department of Defense Single Stock Point was created to centralize the control, distribution, and access to the extensive collection of Military Specifications, Standards, and related standardization documents either prepared by or adopted by the DoD. The DODSSP mission and responsibility was assumed by DAPS Philadelphia Office, in October 1990.
The responsibilities of the DODSSP include electronic document storage, indexing, cataloging, maintenance, publish-on-demand, distribution, and sale of Military Specifications, Standards, and related standardization documents and publications comprising the DODSSP Collection. The DODSSP also maintains the Acquisition Streamlining and Standardization Information System (ASSIST) management/research database.
In May 1995, DAPS Philadelphia was appointed Executive Agent for Standardization Program Automation. As such, DAPS Philadelphia is responsible for implementing OASD Standardization Program automation policy, and for designing, testing and implementing new and better methods and technologies for overall automation.
This DODSSP website, the ASSIST Online
digital library, the ASSIST Quick
Search (no password required!), the ASSIST
Shopping Wizard online ordering system, and the growing list of digital products and
services described here, are some of the steps we have taken in that direction.
Although the DODSSP Active Collection contains over 40,000 line items, not all documents specified in Government procurements are included (e.g.: engineering drawings, some Departmental documents, and the majority of all Non-Government / Industry Standards).
The ASSIST Update is a biweekly publication that is provided in Portable Document Format on this web site. The ASSIST Update provides up-to-date information on the DODSSP, and on changes to the ASSIST database.
