10-B-3. Resale Purchases.
a. When resale sales are authorized, an inventory of supplies,
consistent with the forecast demand, may be carried in stock at
the authorized MWR sales outlets for resale at a reasonable mark-
up to authorized participants. This inventory shall be restricted
to articles associated with MWR activities. Coordination with the
exchange, when present, is required.
b. Resale merchanoise may be purchased from the local market, NAFA,
or NAVRESSO Price Agreement Bulletins. Procurement from
commercial sources may be made without soliciting competitive
proposals. However, every effort should be made to procure items
at the least cost. Patrons shall be required to place a deposit
of at least one-third of the retail price for specially ordered
merchandise.
C. Resale items of supply and materials for use in connection with a
hobby craft activity outside the United States are not subject to
balance of payments restrictions.
4. Coin-Operated Vending Machines.
a. At shore units with exchanges, vending machines will be operated
as outlined in Comptroller Manual, Volume VII, Non-appropriated
Fund Activities Manual (COMDTINST M7010.5 (series)).
b. At shore units with satellite exchanges, vending machines will be
operated as outlined in Comptroller Manual, Volume VII, Non-
appropriated Fund Activities Manual (COMDTINST M7010.5 (series)),
except those operated for civilian recreation organizations.
C. At shore units without a NAF activity or satellite exchange, but
with an established morale fund, vending machines will normally be
operated by private concessionaires; however, they may also be
owned by the unit morale fund and operated as a morale fund
activity.
d. If the cognizant authority determines not to establish a morale
fund at a unit and the unit has no NAF activities or satellite
exchange, vending machines may be operated through the morale fund
established at a unit in close geographical proximity. Prior to
approval by the cognizant authority, agreement is to be reached on
profit utilization. This method will provide for services,
account for funds, generate revenue for morale fund use, and
reduce the amount of paperwork.
e. Regardless of whether operated as a NAFA or MWR activity, the
requirements set forth in Comptroller Manual, Volume VII, Non-
appropriated Fund Activities Manual (COMDTINST M7010.5 (series))
regarding design, construction, installation, sanitation,
operation, etc., will be met.
f. Vending machines on afloat units may be operated as an MKR
activity or as a CGES activity at the discretion of the
commanding officer.
