The following is a brief synopsis of the DTCI requirement. Specific DTCI requirements will be identified in performance work statement to be included in the upcoming solicitation. DTCI is a CONUS transportation management initiative focused on increasing operational effectiveness while simultaneously obtaining efficiencies by reducing cycle times and using best practices, such as increased consolidations/load optimization and mode conversions. The premise is for DoD to competitively award a long-term contract with a world-class transportation coordinator that will employ best commercial practices to achieve the goals stated above. The coordinator's scope goes beyond traditional freight forwarding and brokerage transactions. The coordinator will leverage current commercial capabilities and proven best transportation practices of commercial shippers to manage, consolidate, and optimize specified CONUS freight movements using contractor-chosen modes among DOD shippers. An implementation approach is envisioned with multiple phases based on location and possibly functionality. It is anticipated Phase I will begin with 18 Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) CONUS Defense Distribution Centers. Phase II will include co-located service shippers within a specified radius to achieve maximum volume participation and corollary cost savings through consolidation and optimization of freight requirements. Phase III will include additional service shippers throughout CONUS. The DTCI coordinator must have visibility of targeted freight movement requirements across the CONUS and have immediate access to a nationwide network of transportation providers to schedule and fulfil those requirements.
