The document is a resolution titled "Resolution 1011" that was adopted by the Board of Directors of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing. The resolution emphasizes the use of metric measurement standards in the United States. It states that the use of metric measurement standards has been authorized by law since 1866 and that the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 declared the policy of the United States to coordinate and plan the increasing use of the metric system. The resolution further mentions that federal civil and military departments and agencies have established policies to eliminate barriers to the purchase of metric products and services. It also highlights the importance of eliminating impediments to voluntary metric transition by U.S. commerce and industry and avoiding discrimination against products designed to metric standards. The resolution concludes by stating that the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing and the National Association of State Purchasing Officials support the development and use of purchase descriptions and standards that allow metric designed products to compete equally with products designed to customary standards. The resolution was initially adopted on April 27, 1984, and later reviewed and ratified on November 11, 1995.
