DLA Medical Supply Chain Acquisition Programs
Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) Registration
DAPAs are issued to suppliers of medical items by DLA Troop Support Medical Supply Chain, and these suppliers thereby become "DAPA-holders". DAPAs allow for the distribution of identified products at specified prices through the Medical Prime Vendor Program (MPVP). Prices are deemed fair and reasonable prior to approving and issuing a DAPA.
Most pharmaceutical and medical supplies sales to DoD are sold through Prime Vendors set up by Defense Logistics Agency. The DLA sets up DAPA agreements with individual manufacturers and distributors and then allows their Prime Vendors to distribute those items at that cost to military installations around the globe.
Electronic Catalog (ECAT) Registration
ECAT is a Net-centric ordering, distribution, and payment system providing the Department of Defense and other Federal customers access to multiple manufacturer and distributor commercial catalogs at discounted prices. The program is a complementary acquisition strategy allowing customers to browse, compare, and order a wide range of pharmaceutical, laboratory, dental, optical fabrication, and medical/surgical equipment commercial items not available through Distribution and Pricing Agreements (DAPAs) under the Medical Prime Vendor program.
ECAT provides products from manufacturers and distributors to maximize the breadth and depth of its product offerings and promote competition among suppliers. Suppliers are not charged any fees to participate in the ECAT program. DLA Troop Support Medical Supply Chain contracting specialists negotiate discounted pricing off of the supplier's commercial catalog price. This discounted price is presented to ECAT customers as the “Total Delivered Price” of the product. This price includes all transportation/distribution and administrative costs.
