Organic Repair Module CAV-ORM

Commercial Asset Visibility – Organic Repairs Module (CAV-ORM) is a Navy inventory-tracking system operated under NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS). Per Defense Logistics Agency DLMS change documentation (ADC 461), CAV-ORM is "the joint Service solution for tracking repairables out for commercial repair" — it records repair status and estimated completion dates for government-owned reparable assets ("carcasses") as they move through the repair cycle, and feeds those updates to Navy ERP.

What it is

CAV-ORM tracks Navy-owned reparable assets through repair. Per DLA DLMS documentation, when CAV-ORM receives an updated estimated completion date (ECD) for an item in repair, it transmits that update to Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (Navy ERP) as a DLMS 947I transaction. A NAVSUP FISC Jacksonville project summary likewise describes CAV-ORM tracking stock-in-transit assets moving between DLA storage and commercial repair sites.

Who operates it

CAV-ORM is hosted by NAVSUP at cavorm.nag.navy.mil (the legacy applications.navsup.navy.mil/cavorm/ address still redirects there) and operated under NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, the same organization that runs the CAV Repairables Portal. DLA DLMS change documentation treats CAV and CAV-ORM as companion systems used by the same trading-partner community of Inventory Control Points. The current NAVSUP WSS CAV Statement of Work (Version 8.5, effective FY25) documents legacy CAV and its successor, the CAV Repairables Portal (RP), but does not name CAV-ORM, so the module's public documentation has receded even though its endpoint is still live.

Access

CAV-ORM is not a public-access tool. The site itself returns a PKI/certificate-based login rather than open content, consistent with how NAVSUP documents access to the companion CAV system: contractors and government users obtain access through a System Authorization Access Request – Navy (SAAR-N), and must have an individual PKI certificate acquired, loaded, and registered before access is granted. NAVSUP WSS assigns each contractor organization a CAV Analyst as its point of contact for system navigation, data-entry instruction, and reporting problems; CAV-ORM issues are handled as Tier 2 items in the NAVSUP help desk ticket process.

How logisticians use it

Inventory managers, repair-facility personnel, and NAVSUP WSS analysts use CAV-ORM to record and monitor the status of reparable items inducted into repair — including receipt, repair progress, updated estimated completion dates, and return to supply — so that Navy ERP and downstream supply systems reflect current carcass location and repair status.

Related systems

CAV-ORM is related to the CAV Repairables Portal (Commercial Asset Visibility). Both systems feed transaction data to Navy ERP and operate within the DLMS/MILSTRAP transaction framework used across DoD supply chain systems for reparable-asset and carcass tracking.
