MRA for FAA as a Source of Supply

2. MRA From – To Federal Aviation Administration
Should DODM Materiel Receipt Acknowledgement (MRA) policy be changed to include FAA under MRA?
DOD policy for MRA does not require DOD customers to provide MRA transactions to FAA for shipments out of FAA stocks. Likewise, the policy does not require FAA customers to provide an MRA for materiel shipped from DOD wholesale sources of supply (SoS).
Audit readiness has placed greater emphasis on receiving an MRA for shipments from DOD wholesales sources has raised the following questions about requiring MRA for:
Shipments to DOD from FAA (require DOD customers to send MRA to FAA)?
Shipments to FAA from DOD (require FAA customers to send MRA to DOD upon receipt)?
For FAA shipments to DOD requisitioners to be included in the MRA process and Source of Supply Report, we would need to develop a proposed change to the DODM MRA policy. A similar change would be needed for DoD shipments to FAA.
Input from FAA in August 2014 noted this would have to be addressed in policy updates and be incorporated in their new Logistics Center Support System (LCSS)

3. National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration
Similar to the FAA on the previous slide, DOD policy does not require NOAA customers to provide an MRA for materiel shipped from a DOD wholesale SoS.
For NOAA customers requisitioning from DoD, should an MRA be required for:
Shipments to NOAA from DOD (require NOAA customers to send MRA to DOD upon receipt)?
A proposed change to the DODM MRA policy addressed for FAA could include shipments to NOAA.
