About the Company

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is committed to maintaining a safe, drug-free workplace. DLA conducts pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, and random drug testing. Employees in drug testing designated positions are subject to random drug testing. The DLA drug testing panel tests for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, heroin, phencyclidine, amphetamines, methamphetamines, fentanyl, norfentanyl, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), and opioids. Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of the American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution. A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package.

As the nation’s logistics combat support agency, the DLA manages the end-to-end global defense supply chain – from raw materials to end user disposition – for the five military services, 11 combatant commands, other federal, state and local agencies and partner and allied nations.

DLA’s mission is to “deliver readiness and lethality to the Warfighter Always and support our nation through quality, proactive global logistics.” To accomplish this mission, DLA has a staff of about 25,000 employees divided into multiple supply chains that contract for material and services across the military classes of supply, to include: subsistence (food/water), clothing and textiles, bulk petroleum and other energy products, construction material and equipment, personal demand items, medical material and equipment, and repair parts for land, sea and air systems.

DLA procures items from manufacturers and suppliers and provides them to DoD and other federal/state customers, with services such as warehousing, packaging and transportation; DLA contracts for items that are shipped directly by the manufacturer to military units and installations; DLA disposes of excess military property through reutilization, resale and demilitarization programs.

We expect commenters will treat each other, as well as our agency and our employees, with respect.
