Updates to Special Defense Acquisition Fund (SDAF) Inventory Reporting
C11.9.5. Inventory Control and Reporting of SDAF Assets.
C11.9.5.1. Custodial Responsibility. The Military Departments/Implementing Agencies, in coordination with DSCA, are responsible for storing and maintaining accountability of defense articles purchased by the SDAF until the items are transferred to a foreign government, international organization, or building partner capacity program. In addition, the Military Departments/Implementing Agencies must establish controls to ensure SDAF assets are not transferred to a foreign partner or used by the Military Department unless explicitly approved by DSCA. Military Departments/Implementing Agencies must ensure that DoD and contractor facilities are physically inventoried annually to determine the location, identification numbers ((e.g. National Stock Number (NSN), Part Number (PN), Managed Control Number (MCN), Manual Part Number (MPN)), and quantities of the SDAF-procured material on hand. All physical inventories must be completed before the end of the fiscal year, and documented and reported to DSCA no later than 30 days after the end of the fiscal year.
