S
mall arms repairmen, if you discover the parts you ordered to Fx your unit’s weapons
are defective, it’s important that you Fle a product quality deFciency report (PQDR).
If you don’t, your unit won’t get free replacement parts or refunds. But, even
more important, the Army won’t know there are defective parts kicking around the
supply system.
±ortunately, the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP) makes it
fairly simple to Fle a PQDR.
The Frst step is to put the defective part someplace where it won’t disappear. Also,
keep a copy of the document number used to order the part. And keep the packaging
the part came in. It has the CAGE code and contract number, which you’ll need for
the PQDR. That’s one reason it’s an excellent idea to keep the part in the packaging
until you use it. That way the packaging won’t disappear and you won’t have trouble
Fguring out where the part came from. But even if you’ve lost the packaging, do a
PQDR with the information you have.
To submit the PQDR, go to:
Click on EZ PDR Logon and follow the steps. Be sure to include all required
information, such as the document and contract numbers and CAGE code.
After you Fle the PQDR, a quality assurance rep will give you instructions for
sending in the defective part. They’ll need it for their investigation. It’s important you
send the part ASAP. If they don’t receive the part within about two weeks, they will
close the investigation.
If you have any questions about small arms PQDRs, contact TACOM’s John Kelty
at DSN 786-1271, (586) 282-1271, or email:
