DoD Unit of Measure Standardization
On June 9, 2009, the BECCM COI Chair, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the DoD Business Mission Area
chartered a working group to facilitate an Enterprise approach for Unit of Measure (UoM) to ensure an
efficient, effective, and interoperable information exchange environment. This working group (WG)
consolidated all of the current sources of UoM domain values across the DoD Enterprise and
harmonized the Logistics Unit of Issue, Procurement Data Standard, Real Property, Finance,
Human Resources, and Transportation and Distribution UoM domain values to include
the industry standard Accredited Services Committee (ASC X12) and the
International Standards Organization (ISO 31/80000).
Country Code Migration
Former Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 10-4, Countries, Dependencies,
Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions, the
US standard for country codes for many years has been withdrawn by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3166, Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions, Part 1-Country codes and Part 2 - Country subdivision code has been identified by most as the Standard to adopt.
Requirement - Use of non-government standards instead of government-developed standards when they meet USG needs is required to comply with Public Law 104-113, National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 and OMB Circular A-119, Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities.
Country Code Path Forward:
FIPS 10-4 will be "retired" from DOD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR) and Intelligence Community Standards Registry (ICSR) in December 2012.
Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD/ATL) memo "Department of Defense Country Code Standard", dated 6 June 2011 directs DOD to implement a US Profile of ISO 3166-1, Country Codes (either digraph or trigraph) by 30 September 2012.
DISA as DOD Executive Agent for IT established a Country Codes Tiger Team co-chaired by DISA and NGA to manage DOD and IC migration from FIPS 10-4 to ISO 3166.
