OSD A&S: Sec Lord and CEO of Development Finance Corporation signed an MOA this past Monday to institute a Title 3 DPA Loan program—first time ever to have such a loan program under DPA. Next week is a holiday week so no call next Wednesday. Next call planned for Wednesday July 8th. Small Business:
Colleagues: Following up with information regarding Nonappropriated Fund (NAF) contractors and access to FedMall Small Business corridor for PPE. DLA is exploring the use of the FedMall Small Business corridor by SB contractors funded by NAF. NAF contracts are not subject to the FAR, therefore there may be limitations on their ability to use the government supply sources authority in FAR Part 51. OUSD is working this issue and will provide a final response by the end of the week or early next week
Colleagues: In response to your feedback on supply issues, DLA has created a small business corridor within FedMall allowing DoD Small Business Contractors to exclusively browse and shop for non-medical PPE and similar material offered by the commercial supplier community. DLA’s work lends support to small business and the COVID-19 get-back-to-work effort.
