Performance Work Statement (PWS) Tailored Transportation Contract Navy Advanced Traceability and Control Program (TTC-ATAC)
C.1 Introduction/Background
C.1.1 General
1. 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.
2. USTRANSCOM is initiating a contract for freight transportation services called Tailored Transportation Contracts (TTC). USTRANSCOM has the following two DOD acquisition goals to achieve by using the Tailored Transportation Contract form:
• Conduct freight transportation services using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) compliant contracts.
• Use performance-based contracts for the acquisition of services.
3. USTRANSCOM is also using the contract initiative as a means to streamline the process and procedures for contracting for freight services.
C.1.2 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 valuable repairable Not Ready For Issue (NRFI) items from point of failure to a repair facility, and ultimately back to the end user after repair assets that are Ready for Issue (RFI) or on Redistribution Order (RDO)). ATAC is also responsible for accounting for RFI Offloads, Repair and Return and aircraft engines.
C.1.2.1 Regional Concept
1. The program consists of the transportation of repairable parts from two parent sites called Hubs, located on the West (San Diego, CA) and East (Norfolk, VA) Coasts, and smaller sites called Nodes, as well as other eRMS DoD and contractor facilities. The Norfolk site is considered a Hub for material receipt, consolidation and shipping purposes. San Diego is a Hub for the same receiving, consolidation and shipping purposes but is also designated as the sole Transportation Oversight/Management Hub.
Repairables from nodes/e-RMS (electronic Retrograde Management System) activities located outside of the continental United States (OCONUS), as well as mobile expeditionary node material is occasionally shipped to a DoD point of entry using Government assets. These shipments when picked up by the service provider and brought to a consolidation point shall be incorporated into the overall consolidation effort in conjunction with other multiple pick up site freight. Further, consolidated shipment of these assets shall constitute a shipment from a single point of origin to a destination within a designated region.
2. The Government requires the transportation services of one Contractor to move parts within and between CONUS, Hawaii and Canada. The Contractor shall have the capability to meet U.S. and Canadian Customs requirements for shipments to and from Canada. Shipments to and from Hawaii shall move by air.
Shipments shalll move within the following transportation channels: (a) Hub to a repair site or storage point (NRFI); (b) Node to a hub, repair or storage point (NRFI); (c) Transshipment point (Travis AFB to a hub; Norfolk Air Terminal to a hub, storage or repair point) (NRFI); (d) Local pick up (IAW Appendix B) to a node or hub (NRFI); (e) Repair point to end user or stock point (RFI); (f) Stock point to repair point (RDO). Also included is an express service requirement for shipments (NRFI) that shall be expedited from a hub or node to points throughout CONUS and Canada. These urgently required shipments are known as Carcass Express items.
3. Other transportation phases of the program include express service for Repair and Return (R&R) shipments.
Regions are as follows: Regional Grouping Code Narrative Description
Region 0 0R Canada: All provinces and territories Region 1 1R ME, VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, NH Region 2 2R PA, DE, MD, DC, VA, WV, KY Region 3 3R MI, WI, OH, IN, IL Region 4 4R NC, TN, SC, GA, AL, MS, FL Region 5 5R MN, ND, SD, IA, NE, MO, KS Region 6 6R AR, OK, LA, TX Region 7 7R MT, WY, CO, UT, NM, AZ Region 8 8R ID, WA, OR, NV, CA Region 9 9R Hawaii
C.1.2.2 Consignor (Origin) Business hours
1. Unless otherwise stated, all pickups shall be Monday through Friday.
2. In general, the pickups are performed between 0700 – 1500 local time. The contractor is responsible for contacting the local pick up sites and arranging the specific pickup times.
C.1.2.3 Consignee (Destination) Business hours
1. Unless otherwise stated, all deliveries shall be Monday through Friday. Consignees are installations and facilities within CONUS, Hawaii and Canada.
2. The business hours of consignees are available in the Transportation Facilities Guide (TFG), a valuable tool used by Government activities and Carriers in coordinating transportation requirements. The TFG and more details on TFG objectives, functional capabilities, and password request procedures are available as part of the web based Electronic Transportation Acquisition (ETA) system under the Global Freight Management (GFM) system at URL https://eta.sddc.army.mil/ETASSOPortal/Default.aspx
3. A password is required to "view" the TFG. Contractors may contact the GFM HOTLINE at 1-800-462- 2176 (option 3), for assistance in viewing the TFG on-line.
C.2 Scope
C.2.1 Types of Services
1. The period of performance for this PWS is a two-year base period and two one-year option years, for a total potential life of four years.
Shipments shall consist of all freight all kinds (FAK) with the exception of the excluded items below.
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. The Contractor shall be capable of furnishing a variety of equipment, programs and training to handle the freight properly. The average cost of a repair item is approximately $15,000, with many items of much higher value. The contractor shall consolidate and package/palletize the individual ATAC assets defined as Freight All Kinds received for shipments into the best available aggregate shipment for the most cost effective and efficient rate while still meeting consolidation time, transit time and delivery requirements. The contractor shall create pRFID tags/labels and attach them to the pallet loads. For assets weighing less than 150 lbs and for which the contractor cannot effectively consolidate while meeting consolidation time, transit time and delivery requirements, the contractor shall coordinate the shipment of these packages with the DoD Domestic Express Carriers.
Other services required include:
Using Government owned IT systems such as Electronic Retrograde Management System (eRMS) to receive pick up directives (PUDs), Posting proof of shipment (POS), proof of delivery (POD), tracking number and other data, as required.
[See Appendix C, "CARRIER ERMS PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS" for detailed requirements.]
All services shall be included in the options years as specified within this contract.
