VE ARM - Value Engineering Assistance Request Module

 First time users without a DoD Common Access Card (CAC) must register for access through DLA’s Account Management and Provisioning System (AMPS).


Value Engineering (VE) Assistance Information

This form is also known as the Assistance Request Module or ARM.

The use of this form is restricted to DOD Employees and Contractors who need specialized help from DLA Value Engineering. You can expect an initial response to your request within one to five business days. Please understand, alternative such as reverse engineering take a year or more to cycle through the coordination process. Engineering will return requests that cannot be addressed through a new Value engineering savings project.

VE savings are the result of approved changes offered by our valued contractors as Value Engineering Change Proposals (VECPs) and Government personnel as Value Engineering Proposals (VEPs). Contractors and employees can submit value engineering assistance requests to obtain initial information on items of interest and to request information on how to formally submit proposals through the tool below. 

DLA Value Management Program provides a method for proposals which recommend cost savings changes to DLA Troop Support systems, equipment, facilities, procedures and supplies. The changes cover a wide area and include commercialization, packaging, packing, labeling, transportation, warehousing, quality assurance and processing.
