Statement of Robert J. Lieberman Assistant Inspector General Department of Defense Before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations House Committee on Veterans Affairs. United States House of Representatives on Procuring Pharmaceuticals for the Department of Defense.
Abstract
The Defense Logistics Agency supports the Military Departments with medical items through its subordinate agency, the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia. The Supply Center purchases items for either direct delivery to the customer or delivery to a Defense depot for storage until they are needed. The Defense Logistics Agency recovers administrative and overhead costs by charging customers a surcharge on each item. Although military treatment facilities also purchase some items on local contracts or by using credit cards for small purchases, the bulk of the Defense procurement activity for pharmaceuticals is by the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia.
