Defense Standardization Program (DSP)

Overview 

​The DSP website provides the latest DSP policies, procedures, and guidance information, the DSP Journal, standardization case studies, useful links, and information on upcoming standardization conferences and training. 

For additional information, see also the Defense Standardization Knowledge Sharing Portal, which was developed by the Defense Standardization Program Office (DSPO) to engage with standardization stakeholders and to share experiences, tools, lessons learned, and ways of addressing standardization management matters within DoD. Additionally, this community of practice was created to provide information about the Defense Standardization Program (DSP). The DSP exists to identify, influence, develop, manage, and provide access to standardization processes, products, and services for warfighters, the acquisition community, and the logistics community to promote interoperability, reduce total ownership costs, and sustain readiness.
