§8806 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary of the Navy must buy and sell certain supplies to Navy and Marine members. This includes items the Secretary chooses and personal clothing and equipment under set rules. Credit sales must be recorded and reported. Except for things bought with working capital funds under section 2208, articles are sold at cost and clothing/equipment at average current prices that include overhead. The Secretary must sell food and other serviceable supplies to members of other services at the same prices. People honorably discharged from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Space Force who are getting care from the Public Health Service or the Department of Veterans Affairs may buy subsistence and other supplies (not uniform items) at those prices. Honorably discharged Navy or Marine members may buy outer uniform items under rules; this does not change other uniform rules. Payments for subsistence must be cash or commercial credit. The Secretary may also sell stores to certain U.S. civilian employees overseas and to civilians living on U.S. bases when needed. Appropriations for subsistence may be used to buy supplies to sell to active-duty members and their families.
