The Office of Price Stabilization (1950-1953), also known as the Price Stabilization Board, was a federal agency tasked with controlling prices during the Korean War. A Director of Price Stabilization was named in late 1950 and the OPS was formally established in January of 1951. Through its 14 regional and about 90 district offices, the OPS obtained voluntary compliance with measures to stabilize prices and established and administered price regulations.
