Performance Work Statement (PWS) Navy Advanced Traceability and Control Program (ATAC) III
1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
1.1. Background
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) is responsible for providing for the transportation needs of the Department of Defense (DOD), including the movement of DOD freight traffic, Homeland Security and any subsets such as U.S. Coast Guard. USTRANSCOM requires freight transportation services to support the U.S Navy Advanced Traceability and Control (ATAC) Program. The ATAC program is a Navy initiative for the tracking, tracing, packing, reporting, and movement of high dollar Depot Level Repairables (DLR) Product Lines such as Not Ready For Issue (NRFI) Carcass Express (CE) and Routine (RT) priority items from point of failure to a repair facility, and ultimately back to the end user after repair of assets that are Ready for Issue (RFI) or on a Redistribution Order (RDO). ATAC is also responsible for transporting RFI Offloads, Repair and Return (R&R), Marine Aviation, Ground Marine (GM), Coast Guard material, and Aircraft Engines. Transportation services identified in this PWS are critical as they directly support the movement of goods to the warfighter and are key to the US Navy’s efforts to provide responsive, effective and efficient movement solutions.
1.2. Scope
1.2.1 The Government requires transportation services to move Freight All Kinds (FAK) repairable parts to all forty eight contiguous states, Hawaii, and Canada. The transportation services will include the consolidated movement of Not Ready For Issue (NRFI) material, Redistribution Order (RDO) material, Ready For Issue (RFI) material, and Carcass Express/Routine material. Other transportation services include express service for Repair and Return (R&R) shipments. Repair parts range in a wide variety of sizes, from circuit cards, cardboard boxes, wooden crates and metal cans to items larger than a complete aircraft. Services also include process improvements which will focus on distribution-related functions and its effects on the total Supply Chain; improving overall levels of support to the warfighter while significantly increasing efficiency.
1.2.2 The parts will be transported from two parent sites, located on the West (San Diego, CA) and East (Norfolk, VA) Coasts, and smaller sites called Nodes, as well as between other DOD and electronic Retrograde Management System (eRMS) enabled activities, including contractor facilities. Repairables from locations Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS), as well as mobile expeditionary node material, will be occasionally shipped to a DoD point of entry using Government assets. Additional origins and destinations may be added in the future.
1.2.3 Cost-reimbursable contractors (e.g., prime vendor, virtual prime vendor, on-demand manufacturing, quick response, and corporate contracts), as approved by the Contracting Officer, may also use the transportation services and rates provided under this contract for official business conducted on behalf of the US Government.

1.3.2.1.8.1. DLADS deliveries must fall within a 70 mile radius of the pickup site. The delivery transit time shall be one (1) work day. This material may be picked up only if, the delivery has been prearranged by the pickup site, Node/Hub and the local DLADS will accept the delivery on the date and time agreed upon. This material may only be delivered if, the delivery has been prearranged by the Government pick up site at a Node/Hub and the local
DLADS will accept the delivery on the date and time agreed upon. These require an ERMS Disposal Manifest.
DLADS material shall be moved under this contract at ATAC sites, Norfolk, San Diego, Puget Sound, and Jacksonville and Pearl Harbor. Nontraditional ATAC activities can tender DLADS material to the carrier provided all arrangements with DLADS have been made by that activity. Carrier shall only be responsible for pickup and delivery of material to the DLADS location identified by the E-RMS generated manifest once DLADS has acknowledged pending receipt of said material.” The DLADS manifest shall be signed and POD posted in eRMS.
DLADS rejected material returns, shall be returned to the manifest originator. DLADS for ZI7 material shall be accepted when arrangements have been made for pick-up and delivery. Any material rejected at the time of DLADS delivery shall be returned to the originator. Any and all DMIL shall be completed by the originator prior to pick-up, including HAZMAT certification.

1.3.2.2.1. The contractor will utilize eRMS and/or other Government approved automated method to record receipt of the material that the service provider previously picked up and delivered to the ATAC Hub. Receipts will be on a one for one basis for all material, meaning every document number will be receipted for individually. The receipt date entered into eRMS should be the date the material was actually delivered to the Hub which is not necessarily the date the receipt was entered into eRMS. For example if the material was delivered to the HUB on 2 Jan and the receipt is not entered until 4 Jan the receipt date entered to eRMS should be 2 January. Material that does not need additional packing and has already been screened (DOCID BC2, BQD, BEI, BMD, A5_ (Appendix C)) should be sent to shipment preparation. Material that requires additional packaging or crating should be sent to packing, and material not screened (DOCID BC1 or left blank) should be placed in 'On Hand Received' for later screening by the resident government agent. If during the receipt process the eRMS system identifies an asset as an ATAC exclusion, the contractor shall immediately turn the asset over to the resident government agent.

1.3.2.4.1. The contractor shall consolidate individual ATAC assets defined as Freight All Kinds (FAK) received for shipments into the best available aggregate shipment for the most cost effective and efficient rate while still meeting transit time and delivery requirements. Contractor shall maximize consolidation to the fullest extent, and bill the aggregated weight per destination based on consolidated shipments that move from the Contractor’s facilities (including possible Contractor use of Government facilities). In some instances consolidation shall be based on Priority Designation of the material, e.g.; material going from Norfolk to Jacksonville, a carcass express item ready to ship on Thursday could be held for a designated Friday shipment to the same location. Shipments picked up at multiple sites within a 70-mile radius of the Norfolk or San Diego hub shall be considered as one origin for billing purposes when shipped from the hub. Consolidation of freight shall be from multiple points of origin to a single destination as determined by region not by individual delivery location, e.g.; freight consolidated at ATAC Norfolk Hub bldg. SP 237 from multiple origins and going from region 2 to region 6 shall be billed as a consolidated shipment for any deliveries within a 70 mile radius and not billed per individual destination within region 6 unless the delivery is greater than 70 miles away.
1.3.2.4.2. Freight consolidated at original pick up point and subsequently relocated to a hub location shall be consolidated with other freight from multiple pick up locations in order to ensure maximum weight break allowances are provided for, e.g. freight consolidated at ATAC San Diego Hub Bldg. 661 from multiple origins including previously consolidated freight received from the Seattle area and going from region 6 to region 2 shall be billed as a consolidated shipment for any deliveries within a 70 mile radius and not billed per individual destination within region 2 unless the delivery is greater than 70 miles away.

The Contractor will be responsible for entering the small package (1-150 lb.) shipment into the eRMS 2.0 system with the designated NGDS contractor carrier identified by the Government/ATAC San Diego TO/COR. The decision as to which NGDS carrier will be utilized is an inherently governmental function and therefore, shall not be determined by the contractor. The NGDS carrier will bill the Government directly.
1.3.2.4.5. The maximum allowable time for shipment consolidation is provided in the table below. The time identified below is in addition to the transit times identified in 1.3.2.8.1.1.
