A quartermaster provides supplies to people aboard a starship, starbase or other outpost within their same organization.
22nd century Earth Starfleet and non-Starfleet vessels carried a quartermaster aboard. The responsibility of the quartermaster on these ships was to ensure the ship's supplies were allocated appropriately and restocked when needed. Ration packs were one of the supplies the quartermaster was responsible for aboard Starfleet vessels. (ENT: "Civilization", "Fortunate Son", "Countdown")
Aboard 24th century Federation Starfleet ships, the operations manager usually undertook the quartermaster's duties, whilst on stations, the chief of operations was responsible for the quartermaster's duties.
A quartermaster's subordinates were supply clerks. (Star Trek: Remington)
