Our examination was performed at GSA Central Office and Region 3 offices in Washington, D.C., and at the GSA depot, Franconia, Virginia, during the period January through September 1967. In addition, we visited other GSA depots and military and civilian customer agencies located in Region 3's geographic area. The purpose of this letter is to furnish you a summary of our work. Our review was directed primarily to a selective sample of 1,614 current requisitions submitted by domestic customers during the 6-week period ending March 23, 1967. By excluding requisitions that were can- celed, extracted or referred to other GSA regions, filled by stores direct delivery, or for which complete information was not available, we obtained a purified sample of 1,383 requisitions. We traced these requisitions through the supply system--from date of origin to receipt of material by requisitioning agency--and compared both total pipeline time and supply source (GSA) processing time against the time stand- ards established for each priority group. Our review showed that of the 1,383 requisitions traced through the entire supply pipeline, only 877--about 63 percent--were filled within the time standard for the issue priority specified by the requi- sitioners, as shown in the following table.
