BOP Program Statement 8351.02 § 11
CONSIGNMENT
Consignment inventory is vendor inventory that physically resides in an FPI warehouse. It must
be secure and separate from FPI inventory. A physical inventory is conducted at least once a year
by the vendor under supervision by FPI warehouse staff.
To maintain consignment inventory, prior written approval must be received from the General
Manager and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Subassemblies and finished goods are not
approved for consignment. Consignment agreements must be completed as written contracts.
Value assigned is based on the current contract prices. Consignment items are always received
on a purchase order at zero value.
Once issued from inventory, ownership transfers to FPI. If consignment inventory has been
issued from stock, it should never be reissued back to the vendor’s storage location unless this is

written within the contract. Consignment inventory should not be transferred from one location
to another (except when all the material available is issued to an FPI storage location, then
transferred to another location).
