How do I request a Unit of Issue (UI) change? 

DLA/DOD personnel will submit a DD Form 1359 request to the identified UI Coordinator.  Vendor requests should be submitted using the Post Award Request (PAR) request link on DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). Once submitted, the request will be routed to the UI coordinator for the specified supply chain. It is important to note that a UI change request takes some time for review and, if approved, will not become effective for 90 days after final approval.  UI change requests require approval from the packaging specialist and product specialist, finance, and the UI coordinator.  The UI coordinator may reach out to the administrators of existing long term contracts to determine if those LTCs would be adversely affected.
