Whom should you contact if you cannot resolve a discrepancy with your prime vendor (PV)?

The correct approach when facing a discrepancy with a prime vendor is to contact the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The DLA plays a central role in logistics support and oversees a wide array of supply chain operations, including those involving prime vendors. They are equipped to handle significant issues that cannot be resolved at the local level, as they have the authority and resources to intervene and provide solutions or guidance.

The other options, while relevant to logistics and supply management, do not have the same level of jurisdiction or capability when it comes to addressing vendor-specific discrepancies. For instance, Logistics Command typically focuses on broader logistics strategies rather than vendor disputes. The Vendor Quality Assurance Team is more specialized in quality control aspects rather than resolving discrepancies. The Local Supply Office may assist in day-to-day supply issues but would likely escalate unresolved vendor issues to the DLA if direct resolution is needed.

Therefore, when a discrepancy cannot be resolved with the prime vendor, reaching out to the DLA ensures that the issue is managed by an entity with the necessary authority and expertise to facilitate a resolution.
