It was one of over 20 state committees in the Soviet Union that were subordinate to the Council of Ministers of the USSR . Other important administrative bodies in the Soviet Union were, for example, Gosplan (the planning commission) and Gosbank (the state bank).

Gossnab was founded in 1948 and dissolved in 1953. Gossnab was re-established in 1965 as part of a series of economic reforms initiated by Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin in the mid-1960s. With the end of the Soviet Union, Gossnab was dissolved again in 1991.
