Self Help Tools

Are you wondering "Where is my stuff?" or "How do I place an order with DLA?" or even, "What item do I really need?"

DLA's network of customer support personnel stands ready to assist customers, but we also offer self help tools to "help our customers help themselves".

The list of Frequently Asked Questions below provides answers and access to on-line tools that will answer many customers basic questions related to doing business with DLA. DLA's self-help tools offer immediate resolution of inquiries such as requisition or backorder status, and on-hand status and on-hand stock availability. As well as entering requisitions / Supply Assistance Requests (SARs). Please note that some of the on-line tools may require individual logins and passwords. 

If you find that you have additional questions that these FAQs don't answer for you, DLA's Customer Interaction Center (CIC) is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via email (dlacontactcenter@dla.mil ) and phone (DSN 661-7766 or toll free 1-877-DLA-Call (1-877-352-2255)).

The DLA Self Help Tools Flipbook is available for quick reference. Hardcopies can be produced at your own expense by using the specifications in the DD 282 "DOD Printing Requisition Order" thru your organization's standard procedures. Hardcopies will not be provided by DLA.
