The Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) is a six position code that uniquely identifies a Department of Defense unit, activity, or organization that has the authority to requisition and/or receive material. The first position designates the particular Service/Agency element of ownership.[1]
These codes are particularly important for Defense Department financial, contracting, and auditing records. The codes are used across the entire Federal Government when ordering supplies from the supply system using MILSTRIP, FEDSTRIP, or DLMS (www2.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/programs/dlms.asp) procedures (for an example see www.blm.gov/pgdata/etc/medialib/blm/.../NIMAProdOrderHELP.doc). When assigned outside the Department of Defense the codes are usually referred to as AACs or FEDAACs.
