I would like to order piracetam through the pharmacy I work at, but what's the exact legal status for piracetam powder?

So I believe my research is complete and I'm ready to test out piracetam/choline. I'm a pharmacy student and a pharmacy tech at a very large pharmacy that compounds. I can purchase bulk quantities of compound quality piracetam powder, but the person that does the orders feels like there is no way I can just buy that as if it were OTC.
I've spoke to a pharmacist and he has never heard of it being used, but is actually very interested in what I've told him. All I can find is the FDA warning that doesn't allow it to be sold as a "dietary supplement".
So what I ask is, does anyone have any info on it's legal status that would allow me to buy pure piracetam powder through my work? And also, I may be wrong and this may be illegal, so either way some insight would be greatly appreciated.
I can't remember the exact price I may purchase it at either, but I didn't think it was too high and I would avoid all shipping fees.
Thanks ahead of time.

There is no law preventing you from buying piracetam in the US. The only way the FDA could do anything is to go after the seller if they are selling as a supplement. You have no legal liability at all for purchasing it. It's unscheduled.
Do you mean that you can get pharmaceutical grade piracetam for a reasonable price? Where is it manufactured? I might be interested in going in on it, if that would be an option.
