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.
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 & Personnel Compliance
State security requirements rarely satisfy the federal standard on their own, which turns on documented evidence. Vatic runs a real gap assessment across floor plans, equipment, personnel and material flow, and storage, with a mock on-site inspection where needed. On personnel, we compile the disclosures and histories DEA expects from owners, officers, and controlled substance handlers, so every liability requirement is clear before you submit.
Medical/Adult-Use Segregation for Dual-License Operators
If you hold both a medical and an adult-use licenses, Schedule III does not treat the two as one business. Your medical operations move into the federal controlled substance framework while your adult-use operations remain Schedule I. Vatic designs and documents the physical, financial, and data separation that keeps the two distinct, so your medical entity stands on its own before the DEA and the IRS.
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.
