All Branch Topic (ABT) Ordering Field Supplies

[Cooperd0g]

I’m looking for the best place, or places, to order field corpsman/medic supplies, ideally with NSN. My command runs a pretty major exercise twice a year and we bring in a lot of external assets. They don’t always have the right gear so I want to make some loaner med bags for docs and corpsman. We also run a mass casualty exercise and I need both real and training equipment.

I know about North American Rescue and Chinook, just looking for addition options as well that maybe easier to associate NSNs with what I need/want.

Thanks

You can put the nsn into google. USGI Rescue Wire Basket / Extraction Litter / Stretcher NSN 6530013154784 PN 91047

using government procurement or your own cash...?

Either way - go to medical.dla.mil, get an account, request access to the Medical Master Catalog, and then you can look up all your gear by part number or manufacturer, or description to get an associated NSN. If you get access to the Medical Contingency Requirements Workflow, you can pull all assemblages to see what NSNs are in each.

Problem is I don’t know the NSNs.

Government money as it is to support military training. Thanks for the info. I’ll get on this Monday.

Sure. The Medical Master Catalog is a pretty robust tool. Not super user friendly or intuitive - it is a Military IT System after all - but it will tell you the current sources of supply for each part as well. So if it’s available via med/surg prime vendor, or pharm prime vendor, or ECAT, etc. You can also buy things on Government Purchase Card but if something (medical) has an NSN it’s supposed be in an assemblage and supposed to be sourced through a DLA program. Supposed to is key...
