One of the main life bloods for operating every institutional task are materials. As a result, the objective of this study was to assess materials management practices in the selected public service institution in the case of DMSCAB. The researcher employed mixed research approach with a descriptive and explanatory research design to achieve the objective. The data was obtained from primary and secondary sources of data. the primary data was obtained via prepared closed ended questionnaire and interview. The researcher has used various statistical tests to measure whether the entered variables are explaining the dependent variable or not. Among various tests validity and reliability, normality, autocorrelation, and multi collinearity tests have been employed in this study. The main finding of the study indicated that planning activity, specialized or professional expert, integration activity and policy environment was statistically significant at 5% level of significance in explaining the materials management practices and discovered that there is poor materials management practice in their sector. Finally, the researcher concluded that effective materials management practices is still infant. Therefore, the researcher has extended some recommendations to the targeted sectors. Sectors should form a new structure for introducing and recognizing the basic necessity of materials management practices in their operation.
