ObservationsObservations
Integration of LSAR and Logistics models in schema will enhance the ability to exchange Logistics Product Data across disparate Systems
GEIA-927-1, will fill the void for delivery/exchange of logistics information (e.g. provisioning, cataloging, packaging, task analysis, etc.)
GEIA-927-1 provides Government a “Contractible” Data delivery standard for Logistics Product Data.
GEIA-927 Advisory Group open to industry and government representatives
