Logistics Product Data Store (LPDS)

The Logistics Product Data Store (LPDS) is the Army's central repository for Logistics Product Data (LPD). The LPDS provides for storing, viewing, and analyzing of the Integrated Product Support (IPS) data required to fully support systems throughout the Life Cycle.  The tool itself is located in the AESIP HUB Army Enterprise Portal and as such, the user must have an approved System Access request (SAR) to access the tool.  Users can also e-mail the TSB SmartDesk for LPDS product support at [email protected]. Additionally, according to the US Army Logistics Data Analysis Center (LDAC), the owners of the LPDS:
