- Description
- Background The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is the Distribution Process Owner (DPO) for the Department of Defense and is the single entity to direct and supervise execution of the strategic distribution system. The mission of USTRANSCOM is to provide full-spectrum global mobility solutions and related enabling capabilities for supported customers' requirements in peace and war. USTRANSCOM has a responsibility to improve the overall efficiency and interoperability of distribution related activities within the Department of Defense. USTRANSCOM is the contracting activity for surface transportation requirements. Description A requirement exists for transportation coordination services to support the United States Government (USG), Department of Defense (DoD), and DoD Contractors supporting DoD missions, such as the Joint Strike Fighter Program. Services encompass support from receipt of the shipment request through final payment for services rendered. Support will include management of shipments to ensure required transportation is successfully completed. Transportation support is required for Freight All Kinds (FAK) shipments including, but not limited to, First Destination Transportation (vendor shipments), Second Destination, Scheduled Routes, DLA Disposition Services (formerly known as DRMS), Unit Moves, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) support, Humanitarian/Contingency support, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and surge shipments. First Destination Transportation shipments currently shipped under other contracts may be supported under this PWS as those contracts end. Contractor may be required to assist/provide Customs Brokerage support for shipments moved under this contract such as assisting shippers with customs documentation and clearances and identifying customs protocols. Services will be provided between various locations within the Continental United States (CONUS), including but not limited to Vendor Facilities, DOD warehouses or consolidation facilities, and US Armed Forces Bases/Camps/Posts. Pickup and delivery may occasionally be necessary in Alaska and Canada (OCONUS). Pickup locations may be revised, increased, or decreased dependent on DoD structural changes, alignments, operational tempo, and business process changes. Routes may include multiple stops and split pickups. Various equipment types will be required to meet mission requirements. Only single brokering is permitted for Less than Truckload (LTL), Truck Load (TL), and Scheduled trucks (no brokering restriction on air or rail shipments). At contract start, the services identified above are required to support the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). Other government agencies may require these services over the course of the contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is anticipated to be NAICS 488510, Freight Transportation Arrangement. The acquisition strategy of this requirement has yet to be determined. The solicitation for this acquisition will be released electronically and will be available only on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBixOpps) website at www.fbo.gov. The Request for Proposal will be released on or about 3 March 2015.
