How the Navy's CARP program rescues millions in assets
Until very recently, when many of the Navy Department's parts and other materials were removed from units that no longer needed them, those items tended to sit in storage without much visibility until they were eventually turned over to be disposed of as excess government property. But that's changed significantly in recent years, thanks to the Naval Supply Systems Command's Consumable Asset Reutilization Program, or CARP. NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center in San Diego has been able to rescue and redirect 116,000 items, saving the government almost $14 million so far by reutilizing assets it already owns. Robert Medina is the deputy director for the CARP program's nearby Ventura County site, and Doug Murphy is the material management and warehouse utilization product and service lead.

Federal contractors are bracing for impact as a government shutdown looms
