National Stockpile Center (DNSC)

environmentally sound stewardship for
strategic and critical materials in
the United States National Defense Stockpile (NDS). An
early form of the NDS was created just before World War

stockpile of materials was intended to decrease
dependence upon foreign sources of supply during
national emergency. Commodities range from base metals
such as zinc, lead, cobalt, and chromium to the more
precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and
industrial diamonds. There is no private sector company
in the world that sells this wide range of commodities
