Financial & Government Contracts
Public DLA catalog item intelligence, keyed by NIIN (National Item Identification Number): item name (nomenclature), Federal Supply Class, unit of issue, source of supply, acquisition advice code, and a catalog reference price. Ask "what's cataloged under FSC 5330 with 'GASKET' in the name?" or "what's the catalog price and unit of issue for NIIN 012345678?"
catalog_unit_price is PUB LOG's own standard catalog reference price — every row carries price_basis="catalog_reference" to say so explicitly; it is never an observed award or solicitation price. For what an item actually last sold for, use dla.dibbs — the two tools share the same NIIN join key.
Source & conduct: PUB LOG is DLA's own public monthly bulk export (a signed blob download DLA itself publishes — not a scrape). Export-controlled items are excluded before any row reaches the lake: an automated carve-out drops anything outside the public FSG/DEMIL/CIIC allowlist, verified against a real bounded sample before go-live. No export-controlled technical data (drawings, TDPs) is ever served here — public catalog item-identity fields only (the separate technical-characteristics vertical exists but is not yet populated).
There is a portal for this: DIBIQ puts this catalog in front of a DLA bidder as pages rather than tool calls — open solicitations, per-unit prior prices where they exist, approved sources and published item characteristics. Same subscription, same refusals.
