Account Management

Customer Accounts

To receive products from Mapping Customer Operations, you must have a valid Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DODAAC), Unit Identifier Code (UIC), or Federal Activity Address Code (FEDAAC). With that you will obtain an Account Management and Provisioning System (AMPS)/Mapping Enterprise Business System (MEBS) account.  It is strongly recommended you become familiar with the MCO ordering procedures (See our Ordering Page) before placing an order. We also recommend that you order the DLA Map Catalog or register to use the DLA Map Catalog on-line  located inside of FedMall for a list of available products and ease of ordering.  A report of account automatic distribution (AD)/subscriptions can be obtained within MEBS under the BI Publisher link located on the left side of the MEBS main screen.

Maps, charts, and geospatial products are provided free of charge to all Department of Defense (DOD) customers. To order map products, DOD customers are required to submit a MILSTRIP requisition to Mapping Customer Operations (MCO) via FedMall or service supply system. See our ordering page for particular instructions.

U.S. Government Agencies

Maps, charts and geospatial products are provided free to selected U.S. government agencies. U.S. government customers are required to use available logistics systems (such as FedMall) to submit Federal Standard Requisition and Issue Procedures (FEDSTRIP) orders to Mapping Customer Operations (MCO). Non-DOD activities not involved with counter-drug operations will be billed for products.

Approved Executive Branches of the U.S. government and their authorized contractors are authorized to receive classified products. All requests must be submitted on official letterhead to the MCO Customer Management Branch, indicating the following information:

The "need-to-know"

  • Security clearance level
  • Storage capability
  • Valid point of contact
  • Valid commercial and DSN telephone numbers
  • Mailing address to which classified materials will be shipped

Immediate notification must be directed to MCO Customer Management Branch when changes occur to any of the above requested information

In order for Mapping Customer Operations (MCO) to maintain customer records in an up-to-date status, it is imperative that account custodians/managers verify their DODAAC/FEDAAC and TAC 1 mailing address with their Service Point. Ensuring that your mailing address is correct will aid in eliminating an enormous amount of return mail and shipments, and ensure timely deliveries to the correct location. MCO will not process any requests or send shipments to any mailing addresses that have had mail returned two or more times. Be sure to inform MCO Customer Management of any changes.
