Question ID: 586715
I need a list of companies that sell databases or feeds of products
sold in the US. SKU, Manufacturer, Specs, etc.

I am not looking for companies that offer store feeds, I am well aware
of these. I am looking for manufacturer product data.

Hi toni_answ,

Is this what you are looking for?

Electronic Product Catalog
These "Catalogs" contain:
BASIC product information - such as U.P.C., Manufacturer, Brand,
Description, etc. for various CATEGORIES of items - such as Food,
Health & Beauty, Spirits, etc. and optionally, FULL data elements,
such as:
NUTRITION FACTS - Total Fat, Fat UOM, % Daily Value, etc.
INGREDIENTS - (for Fritos Corn Chips) Corn, Corn Oil, Salt, etc.
SHELF MANAGEMENT - Product Dimensions, Case U.P.C., etc.
ADDITIONAL DATA - Endorsements, Allergy Information, Warnings, etc.
Selected product images are also available.
My current "flagship" products include these Electronic Product Catalogs:
Food (Packaged Goods, Perishable, and Non Perishable)
Health & Beauty (Analgesics, First Aid, and Skin Care)
General Merchandise (Office, Toys, and Household)
Snacks and Soda (Chips, Jerky, Bottled Beverages)
Spirits (Beer, Wine, Liquor, and Mixers)
Other Database files are available, upon request.
Should you wish further information, Catalog Pricing, or Data Samples,
please contact me at 469-366-4278, or via E-Mail.

Hummer,

Thats the data I am looking for. Example for Ipod:
Product Name: Apple iPod nano 2GB, White  
Brand: Apple  
SKU: MA004LL/A  
UPC: 885909054152  


I would also Ideally need any specs or description the manufacturer
provided (manufacturer suggested price would also be of great value).

In any case I am looking for companies that provide such data.

Hi toni_answ,

Have you gotten in contact with Gregg London? I think his databases
are the most extensive available.

Regards,
hummer

Hi again,

UPC Database (click "Downloads") (free)
"Here you can find downloadable copies of the data in the UPC
Database. Each full download contains a file of Manufacturers by
manufacturer code, and a file of items by UPC. The files are ASCII
text, comma-separated values (CSV), without column headings. Text
fields are quoted as necessary. These files should easily be readable
by MS Access or Excel (if that's your thing), or Text::CSV (if Perl's
your thing). The CSV files are bundled together with tar(1) and
compressed with gzip(1)."

honestly, most Manufacturer are so far behind in the times they
probably cant even get this information for someone in house. Even if
they did have it, they most likely would not give their precious data
away. sorry.
