DOD Activity Address Directory (DoDAAD)

Overview

According to the DLA website, "The DoDAAC is a six-position code that uniquely identifies a unit, activity or organization that has the authorities of usage that have been granted to it by approving Central Service Point. The first position (or in some cases, up to three) designates the particular Service/Agency element of ownership. The DoDAAD Series Table can be viewed here. There may be up to three distinct addresses contained in the DoDAAD for each DoDAAC, as follows:

• Owner - Identifies the mailing address for the activity (mandatory)
• Ship-To - Identifies the ‘ship to’ (freight) address for the activity
• Billing - Identifies the billing address (The activity responsible for payment of bills.)

The DODAAD Update Application is a web-based replacement of the batch update to the Master DoDAAD database. The master DoDAAD contains the names and addresses of activities which must be identified in the DoD standard logistics transactions. The records include military organizational entities which requisition, receive, or ship materiel; commercial organizations which enter into materiel and/or service contracts with DoD; and the activities of other federal agencies which maintain logistics support arrangements with the DoD. The DoDAAD is maintained in a current state using updates from the Central Service Point (CSP) in each Service and Agency. These updates are distributed daily or in near real time to those activities utilizing database replication. This is the main source of the addressing information used by the Department of Defense. This data is available for download by activities requiring this information. DAAS also utilizes the DoDAAD to perform validations of logistics transactions as they flow through the supply system. The DoDAAD supports DLA and other DoD Component modernization efforts, provides utilization of eBusiness/eCommerce business practices and tools and increases support to multiple business processes. It provides Component applications near real-time access to the authoritative source data and CSP DoDAAD updates and ensures real-time validations. The authoritative source file is enhanced with Component data elements and easy addition of the DoD Component unique data elements is now available."
