An NSN on the tag of a pair of trousers. A NATO Stock Number, or National Stock Number (NSN) as it is known in the U.S., is a 13-digit numeric code used by the NATO military alliance, identifying all the 'standardized material items of supply' as they have been recognized by all member states of NATO.
The NATO Stock Number or National Stock Number (NSN) is a 13-digit alphanumeric code consisting of a Group of Supply, a Class of Supply and the unique NIIN to designate unique items of supply grouped by their relative catalog category. The first four digits are the NATO Supply Classification (NSC) or Federal Supply Class (FSC) code.

It was 11 digits long and was the same number as the NSN (see National Stock Number), minus the two-digit NCB code. The digits "00" were later added in the place of the NCB digits to virtually all FSN numbers to create compliant American 13-digit NSN numbers. The FSN was officially replaced by the NATO Stock Number beginning on September 30, 1974.
