PURPOSE. This instruction provides guidance for Coast Guard members to report
suspected overpriced parts within the Federal Supply System (FSS). Price challenges for
"Other Government Agency" (OGA) managed items are submitted to the Navy Price
Challenge Office, and challenges for Coast Guard managed items are submitted to the
appropriate Coast Guard Supply Center (SUPCEN). Through application of these
procedures, personnel throughout the Coast Guard can take an active role in reducing the
price they pay for spare parts. Those who identify any overpriced part that results in cost
savings are eligible for cash awards.
2.
ACTION. Area and district commanders, commanders of maintenance and logistics
commands, commanding officers of headquarters units, Commander, Coast Guard
Activities Europe, and chiefs of offices and special staff divisions at headquarters shall
ensure compliance with the provisions of this instruction.
