Release Center

DPAS Special Announcement



The DPAS Program Management Office is proud to announce the name of the system will undergo a re-branding. The system that you have used for many years has grown into more than a Property Accountability system and is now being used by organizations outside of the Defense Department. To account for all capabilities within the system, the team has renamed the system to the Enterprise Logistics Management System (ELMS). Please bear with us as we update the support webpage and the training material over time. The update to the system is scheduled to be completed by Release 2025.2.4, which will deploy to the Production environment on 16 May.
 
The DPAS eLearning (including the IO upload center) and DPAS Support websites will be unavailable beginning Friday, May16th at 5pm ET, until Sunday May 18th 9pm ET due to the ELMS rebranding. Please plan accordingly. If you need assistance during this time, please contact the DPAS/ELMS Helpdesk at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
 
Please note that as of Monday, May 5th, the URL for the SAT environment has changed to https://stage.elms.dla.mil - to stress, this is for the ELMS SAT environment, NOT the ELMS Production environment. We will post a separate message for the Production URL change when it becomes applicable.
 
Please note that as of Sunday, May 18th , the URL for the live Production environment will be changing due to the ELMS name rebranding process. The change is stated to take place at 0900 Sunday morning. The new URL for ELMS Production will become: https://prod.elms.dla.mil
