FY14 Deadlines for Ordering the Natural Resources Management Uniform
For: All Natural Resources Management (NRM) employees who are authorized to wear the NRM/Park Ranger Uniform

The FY14 NRM Uniform Program ordering deadlines have just been posted.

25 July 2014: Last day that Made-to-Measure and Non-Standard-sized items can be ordered. (Non-Standard items are those outside the sizing charts in the catalog or on the contractor's web-site.)

2 September 2014: Last day to order standard-sized uniform items. The contractor's web-site www.vfsolutions.com/lma will not accept any orders after 6:00 p.m. EST on this date.

For: District Uniform Program Coordinators/NRM Uniform Program Committee

8 August 2014: Last day that any Uniform Allowance Authorization (UAA) information can be created or modified. The government web-site https://ea.nps.gov will not be available at COB this date. This date has been designated to ensure enough time for account reconciliation for FY15.

Here are several reminders when creating UAAs:

- Termination Dates: Do not put any date in the termination block, unless you intend to terminate the employee the day you are entering the data. The computer reads any date entered as an immediate termination. This means that the employee cannot order uniforms and any items already in the system will be immediately stopped. All backorders will also be cancelled in this circumstance

- Duplicate Records: These have occurred for various reasons, but probably the most frequent has been as a result of an error on the initial creation of the UAA. If you make a mistake as you create the UAA, do not create a second UAA.

- Frequently Asked Questions: As a reminder to all, if you have questions concerning UAAs, remember to use the information provided on the web-site. A user manual is available at that location and is recommended for all that utilize this program.
