Understanding NATO Supply Group (NSG) 75: All About Office Supplies and Devices
What is it?
NATO Supply Group (NSG) 75, also known as Federal Supply Group (FSG) 75 in the United States, is a standardized classification system for office supplies and devices. It categorizes a wide range of items commonly used in office environments.
What does it include?
NSG 75 encompasses a diverse array of office supplies, including:
- Writing Instruments: Pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, erasers, sharpeners, etc.
- Paper Products: Paper, notebooks, binders, folders, envelopes, labels, sticky notes, etc.

- Organization Supplies: File folders, organizers, binders, labels, etc.
- Art Supplies: Crayons, markers, paints, brushes, drawing paper, etc. (Note: Excludes artist-grade supplies)
What's excluded?
It's important to note that NSG 75 excludes certain items:
- Fountain pens: Classified under a different category due to their higher value and specialized use.
- Artists' brushes: Classified differently due to their focus on professional art creation rather than general office use.
- Paper stationery: Encompasses paper products intended for personal communication and not necessarily office work.
- Record forms: Classified differently as they are specific to specific record-keeping functions.
- Mechanical pencils: While primarily used in office settings, they are classified differently due to their specific mechanics.
Benefits of using NSG 75:
- Standardization: Creates a common language for the global office supply industry, facilitating communication and collaboration between different countries and organizations.
- Efficient procurement: Enables clear identification and sourcing of specific office supplies based on their NSG classification.
- Inventory Management: Helps organizations categorize and manage their office supplies inventory more efficiently.
- Improved data sharing: Standardizes data exchange, making it easier to share information about office supplies across different organizations.
In conclusion, NSG 75 plays a critical role in streamlining the categorization, procurement, and communication around office supplies within the global supply chain.
