The American Logistics Association has for 100+ years been viewed as a resource center for its members and non-members providing goods and services to the Resale Agencies. The ALA has been selected by the DoD to develop and provide the ALA SYNTHESIS^TM platform as a focal point to ensure the importance of compliance is understood for both Suppliers and Contractors who want to do business or do business with the Military Resale Agencies.   

The ALA SYNTHESIS^TM platform provides access to all of the Resale Agencies by use of your DUNS number indicating if your company is compliant and certified or in the process of finalizing the certification process. 

The compliance platform includes questions that mandate your self-attestation of compliance. These questions arise due to laws passed by Congress, Executive Orders signed by the President or agencies, and/or memorandums or directives from government agencies or the White House aimed at tackling pressing issues in today's dynamic world. The ALA SYNTHESIS^TMplatform is a resource for prescient issues but is NOT the definitive resource. As a representative of your company, you must comprehend the topics and honestly answer the questions through attestation using all available resources, including professional advice.
