Mission

To provide state and local units of government with the

capacity for purchasing counterdrug equipment at reduced prices through federal procurement channels.

Legislation

The National Defense Authorization Act of 1994,

section 1122, established a requirement that the U.S.

Department of Defense (DOD) develop procedures to

enable state and local governments to purchase law enforcement equipment suitable for counterdrug activities

through federal procurement channels.

Interagency Roles

DOD designated the Department of the Army as executive agent for the program. Also participating in the

program are the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ),

Defense Logistics Agency, and General Services

Administration (GSA).

Program Goals

1. Establish a program oversight committee.

2. Fund eight, 2-year pilot projects (DOJ).

3. Establish a national network of State Point of 

Contact (SPOC) representatives.

4. Market the program and provide uniform support.

5. Develop tracking systems to document cost savings

to state and/or local governments.

6. Seek local funding for future replication.

7. Evaluate program accomplishments.

Program Access

Units of government must contact the appropriate

SPOC (as determined by the state Governor) listed in

this fact sheet. A state must have an SPOC to participate in this program.

Eligible Units
