The Defense Supply Center Richmond Qualified Products List Program

Abstract

This report is a review of the Defense Supply Center (DSC) Richmond Qualified Products List (QPL) Program. A subsequent report will provide a similar review of the Defense Supply Center Columbus. The DSC Richmond QPL Program was started in 1995 when the Military Departments transferred the management of 40 Military Specifications containing qualification and associated Qualified Products Lists to the Defense Supply Center Richmond. The Standardization Program Branch of the Product Development Directorate was assigned the responsibility of managing the QPL Program. Because the Defense Supply Center management directed the Standardization Program Branch to work on another higher priority program, no personnel were assigned to a cost code for Qualified Products Lists administration, management, or maintenance. No labor hours were recorded for time spent on Qualified Products Lists maintenance and administration. However, the Qualified Products Lists management estimated that 1 staff-year was devoted to the Qualified Products Lists Program in FY 2000.
