OUR SERVICES

What Vatic Delivers

Full-spectrum DEA Schedule III registration support from initial gap assessment through to submission, and beyond.

Core Service Modules

DEA Application Navigation

A DEA registration application is more than a form. Whether you file Form 224-MMP as a dispensary or Form 225 as a cultivator, manufacturer, distributor, or laboratory, each application asks for detailed information across your operation. We check every part of your application to make sure each response is accurate and complete for a successful DEA license submission, at a nominal fee of $750.

280E Tax Positioning

We review your operations to confirm your state-licensed medical cannabis activity is positioned for Section 280E relief, identify where medical and adult-use operations are commingled across facilities, personnel, and inventory, and help you establish and document the operational and cost separation

SOP Audit & Development

We assess your existing SOPs against the full list of DEA Schedule III functional requirements and identify which work instructions are missing or insufficient. Where gaps exist, Vatic writes them. We tell you which areas you can close on your own.

Physical Security Gap Assessment & Documentation

State security requirements may appear similar to DEA standards on paper, but federal compliance requires documented evidence: floor plans, equipment specifications, personnel flow diagrams, material flow pathways, and storage configuration review. Vatic conducts a real gap assessment and produces the documentation DEA requires for Section 5 and Section 7 compliance, including a mock on-site inspection service where needed.

Personnel Compliance Screening

Guidance on compiling personal details and disciplinary histories for all owners, directors, officers, stockholders, and controlled substance handlers. We help clients understand all liability disclosure requirements before submitting.

Export Compliance & Market Access

We assess facilities against the standards international regulators require, develop the GMP documentation and controls that support certification, and guide operators through the DEA authorization and permitting. Vatic works from direct experience on both sides of the process, the cross-border transaction and the quality systems behind it.
