We are asking that you fill out this Market Survey to the best of your knowledge so that we can generate a realistic, effective, all encompassing, complete, and accurate solicitation.

The Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA’s) Vendor Shipment Module (VSM) will make the transportation arrangements. Utilization of VSM by the Contractor is mandatory. You will need to register with VSM. VSM is the Vendor Shipment Module and is the vehicle by which you will notify our transportation team experts that your shipment is ready for pick up.

At that time, VSM will allow you to access your packing slip, address labels and small parcel carrier labels.
