Draw a single line through the applicable requisition data for a full receipt (fig. 14-9). For a partial receipt, if there is a suffix code in block 44 of DD Form 1348-1, draw a single line through the quantity and write the outstanding quantity next to it (fig. 14-9). If there is no suffix code in block 44, consider the requisition as complete. For supplies received in excess of the requisitioned amount, refer to NAVSUP P-485.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
Naval medical facilities dispensing pharmaceuticals range from large medical centers to support stations aboard the ships of the fleet and ashore. The custodial responsibility of controlled substances is vested in the commanding officer. An officer of the Medical Department or, in such an officer’s absence, a commissioned officer designated by the commanding officer shall keep all unissued controlled substances in a separate locked compartment. Controlled substances include tranquilizers, alcoholic beverages, alcohol, hypnotics, excitants, and narcotics that require special custodial care. Medicinal are designated controlled substances by the symbol “Q” or “R” in the notes column of the Federal Supply Catalog or by the force medical officer.
BULK CUSTODIAN
The commanding officer shall appoint a commissioned officer as the bulk custodian. This appointment shall be in writing. This officer shall be responsible for, and maintain custody of, all bulk controlled substances.
SECURITY
Access to controlled medicinal is limited to the bulk custodian and the senior Medical Department representative (SMDR). Only individuals whose official duties require access to such spaces will be provided the safe combinations.
ACCOUNTABILITY
The bulk custodian and the SMDR are responsible for the receipt and custody of controlled substances. Each unit must maintain a detailed record of the receipt, transfer, survey, dispensing, and expenditure of controlled substances in accordance with MANMED, chapter 21.
INVENTORY BOARD
Monthly, or more frequently if necessary, the Controlled Substances Inventory Board will conduct an unannounced inventory of controlled substances. The commanding officer shall appoint three members to this board; at least two of these members will be commissioned officers and the third an E-7 or above. The officer having custodial responsibility shall not be appointed to the board.
