COMMAND POLICY STATEMENT NO. 9

MEMORANDUM FOR: SEE DISTRIBUTION

Subject: Javits-Wagner-O'Day Program

It is my policy as the Commander of the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) to proactively support the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Program by developing business opportunities and initiatives that are consistent in meeting DSCP's customer needs, and which also provide meaningful employment and training opportunities for individuals who are blind or have other severe disabilities.

The DSCP team has always prided itself as the DLA leader in promoting the advancement of the JWOD Program. While we embrace changes in acquisition strategies and adopt commercial business practices, our challenge is to continue and expand our partnership with the JWOD program. We must work together to develop business solutions that provides our customers high quality products and services and recognizes the importance of JWOD affiliates in our industrial base.

Therefore, I urge all members of the DSCP family to commit to furthering our partnership by considering JWOD participation in all acquisition programs. With your leadership in this area, we can contribute to the success of this worthy endeavor.

Command Policy Statement No. 9, dated April 9, 2001, is hereby superseded.
