SDV-MPG CONCERNS BY CATEGORY

July, 2022

Members of the SDV-MPG have identified a number of issues regarding VA’s MSPV program as well as the proposed use of DLA’s MSPV program by VA. The issues identified are as follows:

SUPPLY BPA’s

1. VAMC’s have not provided prime vendors with usage data so prime vendors do not stock and order from Supply BPA holders.

2. The result of #1 is a high number of drop ship orders which causes additional expenses.

3. Another result of #1 is prime vendors not assigning prime vendor ordering numbers (PVONs) which causes further delays and confusion for obtaining specific products by VAMCs.

4. VA cannot process the number
