DANTES MATERIALS & PUBLICATIONS ORDERING PROCESS OVERVIEW To enhance demand-driven and customer-responsive procurement and efficient distribution of DANTES materials and publications; DANTES adopts the following processes: 1. Annual Catalog. DANTES provides authorized ordering centers (Military Ed Centers with DANTES ID#, TCOs, SFACs, etc.) access to a catalog of products. The catalog lists the item name, a brief description, the DANTES Stock #, link to electronic sources (if available), and other pertinent information. 2. Acknowledge Requirements. Once a year, ordering centers are prompted by DANTES to project their annual material and publication requirements and place an order based on this projection. Negative replies are also required. 3. Procurement Analysis. DANTES collects orders and analyzes them based on budget restraints. Adjustments to quantities requested may be required. 4. Procurement. DANTES orders requested materials and publications from source providers, publishers, and vendors, and awaits delivery to the DANTES Distribution Center. 5. Distribution. As materials arrive, they are distributed according to orders. Ordering centers must plan ahead to ensure adequate storage space is available for quantities ordered. 6. Out-of-Cycle Orders. Ordering centers should contact DANTES refpubs@navy.mil if a need for materials outside the annual ordering window arises. Extra materials are stocked on a limited basis and may not be available out-of-cycle. DANTES Counselor Resources Material Catalog - 2017
