4. By blanket purchase agreements (BPAs)

negotiated by ashore activities. This type of purchase
is most commonly used.

Details concerning purchases by ashore activities

are provided in NAVSUP P-467.

Imprest Funds

The imprest fund is a simple and economic method

of making purchases. It is both a petty cash and a
revolving type of fund. The fund is reduced as
purchases are made. A reimbursement voucher must be
prepared at some point in time. The ship's OPTAR is
charged for the amount of the reimbursement voucher,

and the money is returned to the imprest fund. Most
shipboard activities discourage the use of imprest funds.

STOWAGE

The supply petty officer is responsible for stowing

materials properly and for protecting them from damage
and deterioration while in stowage.

Photographic materials in both shipboard and shore

storerooms should be arranged to do the following:

1. Ensure maximum use of available space.

2. Provide orderly stowage and ready accessibility.

3. Prevent damage to the ship, facility, or injury

to personnel.

4. Reduce the possibility of material loss or

damage.

5. Facilitate issues and inventories.

STOREROOM LAYOUT

Space permitting, you should adhere to the

following guidelines when stowing supplies and
equipment:

1. Locate heavy bulk materials in areas most

convenient to hatches, doors, and material-handling
equipment. This minimizes the physical effort required
for loading, stowage, and breakouts.

2. Locate light bulky material in storerooms with

high overhead clearances for maximum use of available

space.

3. Segregate materials that are dissimilar in type or

classification, such as hazardous and nonhazardous,
classified and unclassified, and large and small

materials.

4. Locate materials that are issued frequently as

close as possible to the point of issue.

5. Locate shelf-life items (film, paper, and so on)

in a readily accessible area to facilitate periodic
screening.

6. Provide for aisles at least 30 inches wide

between bins, racks, or cabinets.

7. Arrange materials so identification labels are

facing outward to facilitate issues and inventory.

8. Avoid multiple locations for the same item.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL

Hazardous material includes all types of

compressed gases, acids, paints, and materials that
present a considerable fire hazard or are otherwise
dangerous. Except as indicated below, these materials

must be stowed in paint and flammable liquid
storerooms.

Compressed Gases

Compressed gases must be stowed on the weather

deck or outdoors and fastened securely in a vertical
position. Cylinder valves should be protected from

accumulations of ice and snow, and the cylinders should
be screened from direct rays of the sun.

Acid

Liquid acid, unless classified as a safe material,

should be stowed in lead-lined boxes.

SECURITY

Storerooms should be locked when not in use.

Ordinarily, only the supply petty officers in charge of a
storeroom and authorized assistants have access to the
storeroom, and one of them must be present when the
storeroom is open. Other persons may be admitted
when necessary during receipt or issue of stores.

Access must be given to damage control and fire

department personnel in the performance of their duties.
Storerooms must be secured so ordinary damage control
and emergency equipment can clear the entranceway.

STOCK CONTROL

The primary function of stock control is to ensure

that materials are available in the proper amount, at the
proper place, and at the proper time. To accomplish
