Logistics: Navy Controls Over Material Sent to Defense Reutilization and Marketing Offices

Abstract

The Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) is an organization within the Defense Logistics Agency that is responsible for the reutilization, transfer, donation, sale, and disposal of materiel that is excess to DoD requirements. In FY 2002, Defense Reutilization and Marketing Offices, which are field offices of DRMS, received approximately $15.8 billion (acquisition cost) worth of materiel for disposal. Of the $15.8 billion, $2.1 billion of materiel was received from Navy organizations. Navy organizations that ship materiel to DRMS are required to provide shipment notification transactions to DRMS. DRMS maintains an in-transit control system based on shipment notification transactions in order to monitor shipments of usable materiel with a line-item value of $800 or more and for all shipments of pilferable or sensitive materiel, regardless of dollar value.
