Price Challenge Request

A Common Access Card (CAC) is required for access.


Price Challenge Request Information

Price Challenge (PC) program raises the overall awareness of potential material overpricing/overcharging. The program puts the customer first through a process that allows individuals to submit suggestions, questions, or recommendations on issues of procurement actions or pricing. Price challenges allow the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) customers to alert the Inventory Control Points about possible overpricing which enables continuous improvement of DLA processes by acting upon this customer feedback. In addition, the program improves customer satisfaction in meeting readiness and weapon system acquisition support requirements at the lowest possible cost. Most challenges come from outside DLA but everyone is welcome to submit a request.

Governed by DoD 4140.1-R and DLAD5025, Price Challenges allow our customers to alert the item supply teams about overpricing concerns. The program provides DLA an important feedback loop that helps us improve customer satisfaction when we help them meet their readiness and weapon system acquisition support requirements at the lowest possible cost.

If you have evidence of overpricing, please feel free to submit a challenge on any DLA Aviation managed National Stock Number within the Price Challenge application. Note: Access required via AMPS  request. Call or email program for AMPS  assistance or submission.
