FEDERAL SPECIFICATIONS BOARD In 1921 the Federal Specifications
Board was established for the purpose
of coordination and economy in the
procurement of material and services
used by the Government under speci¬
fications prepared in the various
branches thereof, to avoid duplication
of effort, and for the better utilization
of resources and industries. To this
board was assigned the duty of com¬
piling and adopting standard specifi¬
cations for materials and services and
of bringing the specifications into har¬
mony with the best commercial practice
wherever conditions permit, bearing in
mind the desirability of broadening the
field of supply.
SPECIFICATIONS PROMULGATED BY THE FEDERAL SPECIFICA¬ TIONS BOARD
The following specifications have
been officially adopted and promulgated
by the Federal Specifications Board as
United States Government Master
Specifications for the mandatory use
of all departments and independent
establishments of the Government.1
