These services comprise the vast majority of all DLA acquisitions of services. The office of the SSM shall serve as the portfolio manager for any acquisition of services that does not fall under any of the above portfolios.

The taxonomy of services that classifies each service code into a broad portfolio group can be found in DFARS PGI 237.102-74.

Contractors may direct questions to the help desk at: http://www.ecmra.mil/.

(2) The reporting requirement applies to all contracted services, provided the organization receiving or benefiting from the contracted services is a Department of Defense (DoD) organization.
