As a designated EASP, the Contractor will be required to submit DD Form 2924, Monthly Inventory Transactions Report (MITR). Entries on the MITR must be supported by DD Form 2913, Missile Propellants Consolidation and Reporting of Sales; DD From 1348-7 and 1348-8, DoD MILSPETS EASP Shipment and Receipt Document; DD Form 1898 Fuel Sale Slip; and DD Form 250, Material Inspection and Receiving Report, as appropriate.

INVENTORY CONTROL RECORDS AND SYSTEMS OF RECORD AT CONTRACTOR ENERGY AEROSPACE SUPPORT POINTS (EASPs)
(a) INTRODUCTION. The Contractor shall prepare all documentation and systemically process related transactions in accordance with the information and instructions provided herein as well as the Energy Aerospace-Volume 7, Section 7 to DODM 4140.25, DoD Management of Bulk Petroleum Products, Natural Gas, and Coal, and DLA Energy-Aerospace interim guidance P-11. Both guidelines will be provided to the Energy Aerospace Support Point (EASP). In addition, as the Energy Aerospace Business Unit (DLA Energy-FEM) continues to implement DLA’s web-based Enterprise Business System (EBS), the Contractor shall conform its processes to that automated system as well. All documents are subject to change and the vendor is responsible for implementing the required changes within 30 days of publication or later if agreed upon by the Government. Unless the Government has specifically stated it will provide the hardware, the Contractor shall provide requisite hardware (specifications will be provided by the Government) capable of processing all applicable inventory and accounting transactions on a daily basis (weekdays excluding weekend and holidays) through DLA Energy-provided applications or software. At a minimum, EBS applications shall require the Contractor to provide and have on-site high-speed internet access with a static Internet Protocol (IP) address, electronic mail (e-mail) with individual user accounts, the current (i.e. most up to date) version of Adobe Acrobat, and Microsoft Office. DLA Energy web-based applications will use the DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) compliant web browser which will be provided by the contractor. These web-based applications require user identifications and passwords in accordance with DoD Automated Data Processing (ADP) Level III systems access. The Contractor shall be responsible for (in conjunction with DLA Energy/DLA) identifying employees who will be processing inventory/accounting transactions and for obtaining requisite systems access for those employees. It should be noted that DoD ADP Level III systems access requires a National Agency Check Investigation (NACI). Those contractors that have not had a NACI will be provided guidance and direction to the investigation, which DLA will initiate. The Contractor shall immediately notify DLA Energy when Contractor personnel with access privileges no longer work at the contract facility or no longer require access to the EBS systems or web-based systems. System access request will be provided by DLA Energy upon system implementation.
(b) AUTOMATED FUEL INVENTORY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. This section applies only after the Fuels Manager Defense
(FMD) is fielded and transactions are automated. Prior to that implementation reporting should be accomplished using the process in the interim guidance P-11. Contractor shall prepare all documentation and systemically process each transaction affecting inventory of Government-owned products in its possession by virtue of this contract in accordance with the information and instructions provided herein and Department of Defense Manual DODM 4140.25, DLA Energy interim guidance P-11. Within one business day of each transaction/business event (next business day for transactions/events on weekends and holidays), the Contractor shall input transaction data into the automated inventory and accounting system(s) or applications designated by the Government. Initial training for inputting transactional data will be provided by the Government via on-site support or via electronic means (e.g., user manuals or on-line support/tutorials), after which the Contractor assumes all responsibility for timeliness and accuracy of transaction data input by its employees. The Contractor shall prepare and report each transaction in accordance with guidance provided during the training. The Government will advise the Contractor in writing of any changes in processing and reporting procedures. The Government reserves the right to telephone the Contractor on a daily basis (excluding weekends and holidays) to obtain information concerning processed transactions to monitor transactions using identified processing systems.
NOTE: DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS. The following lists the documentation requirements for transactions: In accordance with the Aerospace Energy Chapter to DoD 4140.25-M and/or applicable interim guidance, the EASP Manager shall be assigned the responsibilities parallel to those of a Government Responsible Office for Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF) owned Energy Aerospace products. The EASP Manager, on behalf of the Contractor, shall adhere to the requirements of DoD 4140.25-M, applicable interim guidance at all times.
