Procurement in DoD logistics involves which of the following?

• A. Purchase of items from internal DoD inventories.
• B. Requisitioning goods from DoD storage.
• C. Purchase of items from external vendors.
• D. Warehousing items at depot.

Answer: (C)

Procurement in DoD logistics is about obtaining items from outside suppliers through purchases and contracts. It covers acquiring items when they’re not available in DoD inventories, using purchase orders and external vendors. This differs from pulling items from DoD storage or internal stock for replenishment, and from warehousing, which is about storing and handling goods. Therefore, buying from external vendors is the procurement activity.
