Bulk lube oil and MOGAS are ordered and received as what?

• A. JIT (just in time)
• B. DTO (direct turn over)
• C. DTO (direct transfer order)
• D. COD (cash on delivery)

Answer: (B)

Direct turnover is the method used for bulk lube oil and MOGAS where the item is delivered directly to the using activity from bulk storage, with custody and accountability transferring at receipt. This setup suits high-use, bulk consumables because it minimizes handling steps and speeds delivery, ensuring the unit has what it needs when it needs it. It aligns with Navy supply practice for fuels and lubricants, where immediate issue from bulk storage to the user streamlines the process and reduces lag. In contrast, just-in-time delivery introduces risk of shortages, and cash-on-delivery isn’t how government procurement operates. A direct transfer order describes moving items between internal inventories, which isn’t the standard path for supplying the end user in this scenario.
