How long is a DEA Form 222 valid after its execution by the purchaser?

• A. 60 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 90 days
• D. 180 days

Answer: (A)

The time frame being tested is the validity window of a DEA Form 222. Once the purchaser signs the form, it must be used to place and complete the order within 60 days. The supplier is expected to fill and ship the items within that 60-day period. If the order can’t be completed in that time, the remaining portion cannot be filled on the same form and a new Form 222 must be issued to finish the purchase. Partial shipments are allowed during the 60 days, but any unshipped portion after those 60 days requires a new form.
