Table 8-1.—Stock Item Review List—Continued
MERCHANDISING GROUP RULES—CONTINUED
Items in this group are restricted to the groups and subgroups
authorized herein but ordered on a one-time basis. Quantities ordered
should normally be for a 2-week period but will not exceed one
month’s anticipated sales. The number of one-time items carried
will not exceed 60 unless approved by the Navy Resale and
Services Support Office. Items will not be assigned to this group
if they are purchased to test patron acceptance.
Gift packs that include unauthorized items and/or component parts
will not be stocked unless it is apparent that the total cost price
is not influenced by the cost price of the unauthorized item/part.
For example, if a gift pack of cheese included a cutting board and
knife and the total cost value was no greater than the regular price
of an equivalent amount of the same cheese, then the cutting board
and knife constitute a free customer premium and the item can be
stocked. In the case of filled Easter baskets, if the total cost of
the item exceeds the total cost of the candy components, then the
item cannot be stocked.
Commissaries are not authorized to sell medical devices or drugs
which require a prescription. Commissaries are authorized to stock
those nonprescription devices and medications which are available
over the counter in the United States. All products sold must be
labeled following the Food and Drug Administration regulations,
and must meet the provisions of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse
Prevention and Control Act of 1970. Guidance on the provisions
of this act will be requested from the activity’s medical officer.
The following specialty seasonal candy will not be stocked:
l
l
l
Valentine’s Day Candy (boxed hearts)
Valentine’s Day, Easter and Christmas, hollow, solid, and filled
chocolate figures and novelties
Individual Christmas candy canes and filled stockings
selection that would normally satisfy the vast
majority of patrons. The officer in charge may
stock any number of line items above the
minimum authorized limit to meet patron
demand. Any increases above the authorized stock
levels, however, are subject to the restrictions
imposed by staffing limitations, the availability
of shelf and storage space, and the need to main-
tain accountability. The number of line items
stocked should not exceed that amount that would
prevent the maintenance in the S-1 grocery sec-
tion of an overall 95-percent in-stock position
and a 100-percent in-stock position of designated
master stock assortment of “never out” items.
A line item is any item that requires an in-
dividual description for a determination of pro-
curement requirements, regardless of whether the
determination is made by the vendor or by store
representatives. Table 8-1 reflects the commodity
group, group number, and range of line items
recommended. Also included is a list of merchan-
dising rules to which each commissary must
strictly adhere. Items listed for procurement in
your commissary in Departments S-1, S-3, and S-4
