(DLA) SUPPLY SYSTEM
DLA is a supply support organization which is
assigned management responsibility and control of
items in common use by all military services. About
60% of the line items in the integrated Navy Supply
System are managed by DLA. These items are
identified by the number 9 preceding the alphabetic
cognizance symbol, except for cognizance symbol 9Q
material which is managed by the General Services
Administration (GSA). Management of the DLA
supply system is exercised through DLA headquarters
at Cameron Station, Alexandria, Virginia. The role of
DLA headquarters in the DLA supply system can be
compared to the role of the Naval Supply Systems
Command within the Navy Supply System.
DLA Supply Centers—The six DLA Supply
Centers (DSCs) and the types of material for which they
are responsible are:
Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC),
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—food items,
medical supplies, and clothing;
Defense Fuel Supply Center (DFSC),
Washington, D.C.–bulk petroleum and bulk
petroleum based chemicals;
Defense Electronics Supply Center (DESC),
Dayton, Ohio —electronic and electric
equipment and repair parts;
Defense Industrial Supply Center (DISC),
Philadelphia, Pennsylvanian–industrial-type
items (e.g., bearings, wire rope, and sheet metal);
Defense Construction Supply Center (DCSC),
Columbus, Ohio-structural material and
equipment, components, and repair parts;
Defense General Supply Center (DGSC),
Richmond, Virginia—furniture, food
preparation equipment, recreation equipment,
Defense Depot (DD)—A defense depot is a storage
point for DLA material. Issue of material from a DD is
centrally controlled by the cognizant DSC and is based
on requisitions received and processed centrally by the
DSC. DDs cannot accept direct requisitions and issues
are made only when directed by the DSC.
Specialized Support Point (SSP)—An SSP is a
military service managed stock point that is authorized to
receive, store, and distribute a tailored range of
DLA-owned materials for direct support of specified
customers. These customers are generally, but not
necessarily, of the same military service as the SSP. (Most
of the SSPs are Navy stock points. Activities of the other
military services requisition most of their DLA materials
direct from the DSCs.) All the NSCs, as well as most other
Navy stock points (FISC’s, INASs, and NSYs) are SSPs
for the specific DLA commodities listed for them. Unlike
defense depots, SSPs are authorized to accept requisitions
for stored DLA materials direct from customer activities,
and to process such requisitions without prior clearance of
the cognizant DSC(s). SSPs are required to report all DLA
material receipt and issue transactions to the cognizant
DSC(s).

the foregoing example, it should be understood

stock point, the material issued was owned and
managed by a DSC.
