This DoD web-based Product Introduction Process (PIP) is designed to assist suppliers in matching their product(s) to specifications and standards currently used by the DoD for corrosion prevention and control (CPC) and to facilitate the introduction of these CPC products to DoD agencies.  Once you have identified the applicable specification(s) that matches your product, the appropriate steps to proceed forward for that type of specification will be provided (Qualified Products List, Non-Government Standards, Purchase Description, etc.).  For example, for specifications with formal qualification, you will need to submit a formal request for testing to the appropriate cognizant Agency Point of Contact.

Registration to CorrDefense is required to access this feature of the site which includes: saving of specification searches for later use and submitting information to the DoD for consideration or potential use of products.  Information submitted in the Product Information Form (PIF) is considered proprietary and is only available to the submitter and DoD personnel.  This website employs government security standards (.gov) to protect data and prevent the unauthorized download or changing of information.

NOTE: This Product Introduction Process is not designed as a marketing tool. The web based process does not qualify your product to any specification or standard nor does it guarantee procurement of your product by any DoD agency.
