File: 970207_aadci_049.txtODS MEDICAL LESSONS LEARNED LOGISTICS CATEGORY LOGISTICS ISSUE NO. 19 Resupply (Local Purchase) (SGHR NO. 21) BACKGROUND: Decentralized Blanket Purchase Agreements (DBPAs) are heavily relied upon at the local level. DISCUSSION: Use of standard DBPA with Abbott Diagnostics was not possible during the month of January because updated price listing was not available from DLA. BDCs and labs are heavily dependent on Abbott products. This required medical supply to prepare sole-source justifications through base contracting. The man-hours and expense of this process could have been avoided. RECOMMENDATION: Ensure that DBPA price listings are available by 1 Jan as required for mission-critical line items. ACTIONS REQUIRED: Ensure price listings are available on time. This is not a medical only issue. DLA has reviewed and established guidelines to ensure price listings are available on time. ACTIONS REQUIRED: None. STATUS: Recommend closure.
