DLA's Suggestion Program

Abstract Picture of a headConsider possible process improvements and cost savings for the agency—submit a suggestion—let us know!

Have an idea or suggestion that would contribute to the economy, efficiency, and/or effectiveness of Government operations? Submit a suggestion to your Activity Suggestion Coordinator (ASC) for consideration. If your suggestion is approved, implemented, and results in tangible monetary savings, intangible benefits, or a combination of both, you could receive a cash award.

To submit a suggestion, you must complete DLA Form 36, DLA Suggestion and forward to your ASC. Your suggestion must be in writing, must propose a specific problem, solution, include documentation to support solution/savings, and be beyond the scope of assigned job responsibilities and performance standards.

All suggestions are reviewed by a Subject Matter Expert (SME) at the local level. Depending on the potential scope and impact of a proposed suggestion, it may require the review of more than one activity SME. In those cases, the suggestion, along with the evaluation of the initial SME, will be returned to the suggester's ASC. The ASC will forward the suggestion and evaluation form to the Agency Suggestion Coordinator who will then forward to the appropriate SME for evaluation.

So put your thinking cap on and submit a suggestion or suggestions that would contribute to the economy, efficiency, and/or effectiveness of Government operations.

The bottom line: you could receive a cash award if your suggestion is approved, implemented and results in tangible monetary savings, intangible benefits or a combination!
