What OpenFLIS does

OpenFLIS Connects Part Numbers, NSNs and CAGE Codes

Search by part number, NSN or CAGE code. OpenFLIS shows you the complete record and how it connects: what the item is, its part numbers and the companies registered to supply it. Here’s one part number, start to finish.

An item record: add it to a list, then read every section from identification to characteristics.

Reports

Turn a List of NSNs Into a Ready-to-Use Report

Paste a list of NSNs or NIINs, choose the data tables you need and run the report. Download it as a PDF or an organized spreadsheet, ready for your quote, catalog or client deliverable.

API

Bring FLIS Data Into Your Own Systems

Use the FLIS data API to connect NSN, CAGE code and part number data to your ERP, quoting tool, analytics or AI agent. Generate an API key, choose a lookup key and table, and send a GET request to get structured JSON back.

  • Look up by NIIN, CAGE code, FSC and more across 50+ FLIS tables
  • Match up to 500 part number and CAGE pairs in one request
  • Decode any FLIS code with the built-in Help table
Choose where the data goes

Illustration. The API returns JSON, and your developer or software vendor maps it into the systems you already use.

Case study

How a Major European MRO Automated Its Customs Data Capture

The team brought accurate CAGE data from OpenFLIS into its customs clearance workflow and automated a step it used to do by hand.

15 min per declaration

Of manual CAGE data capture before automating, on 400 declarations a week at the time

~100 hrs a week

Reduced – estimated manual work that’s now automated with OpenFLIS API

Faster

Declarations throughput, so the same team could process a higher volume of declarations

Compliance

More control over compliance, by comparing automatic values with manual overrides

FAQ

Questions About FLIS Data and OpenFLIS

Have a question that isn’t covered here? Our team is happy to help.

What is FLIS data?

FLIS is the Federal Logistics Information System, the federal government’s catalog of supply items. Its data covers National Stock Numbers (NSNs), which combine a 4-digit Federal Supply Class (FSC) with a 9-digit National Item Identification Number (NIIN); the companies behind each item, identified by CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) codes; part numbers; and the management, freight, packaging and characteristics data attached to each item. OpenFLIS works with the unclassified, publicly releasable FLIS data.

How do I look up an NSN or CAGE code?

Enter an NSN, NIIN, CAGE code or part number in the Search Tool, or search by keyword, such as an item name or a company name, and filter the results. NSN and CAGE code lookups are free and unlimited.

Is OpenFLIS a government system?

No. OpenFLIS is a commercial product of Synergetics Inc. It is not a government portal and is not owned, sponsored or endorsed by the federal government, and you don’t need government system access to use it. It includes unclassified, publicly releasable FLIS data only, with no restricted, classified, service-unique, proprietary, NATO or controlled unclassified information (CUI) content.

How current is your data?

OpenFLIS data is always current with unclassified FLIS data. It’s ready to search, report on or pull into your own systems through the API, with no release files to download or parse.

What’s included in the free plan?

Every feature. Searches and record views in the Search Tool are free and unlimited, and Reports and the API come with a monthly credit allowance. The free plan never expires, and no credit card is required to create an account.

Can I connect OpenFLIS to my ERP or other software?

Yes, through the API. It returns structured JSON to requests authenticated with your API key, so your developer or software vendor can bring NSN, CAGE code and part number data into the systems you already use.

Do you offer plans for larger teams?

Yes. Enterprise plans are built around your volume and support needs. Talk to our team to set one up.
