41 C.F.R. § 101-30.703
The objective of the item reduction program is to reduce the varieties and sizes of similar items in the Government supply system by:
Implementing a coordinated item reduction process among supply managers of using activities;
Standardizing items of supply used by the Government;
Ensuring that all participants in item reduction studies give priority to controlling and completing item reduction studies;
Promptly recording decisions in the Federal catalog system data base; and
Phasing out of the Government supply system those items identified in item reduction studies as not authorized for procurement to reduce cataloging, supply management, and warehousing costs; then following through to eliminate the items from agency catalog systems.
