This is an Online Training (OLT) course. There are items managed by the Department of Defense and the federal supply system that have a Shelf-Life (expiration date). Typical Shelf-Life items include food, medicines, batteries, paints, sealants, tires, chemicals, packaged petroleum products, hoses/belts, mission-critical O-rings, and Nuclear/Biological/Chemical equipment and clothing. Shelf-Life is the total period of time beginning with the date of manufacture, cure, assembly, or pack (subsistence only), that an item may remain in the combined wholesale (including manufacturer's) and retail storage systems, and still remain usable for issue and/or consumption by the end user. These items must be monitored, properly maintained and stored in order to maximize the item’s ready for issue capability.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Acquisition professionals and for public and administrative users of DoD’s Shelf-Life Program’s Shelf-Life Extension Systems (SLES)
