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.

Appendix F identifies ERMS processing requirements. A carrier may deliver direct to final destination, or to the area identified by ATAC for further processing and subsequent shipment to final destination. The carrier is required to post proof of shipment for the shipper once the material is picked up, and proof of delivery when material is delivered to final destination.
Note: Carrier must obtain approval from the shipper prior to transporting air shipments over 119 inches in length by 84 inches in width and 63 inches in height, but less than 396 inches in length, 125 inches in width and 63 inches in height.
1.3.2.1.1. DOC IDs “BC1” or “BC2” listed in record positions 1 through 3 of the DD 1348 listed as “BC1” or “BC2” indicate the asset has been returned to the Government in exchange for a usable asset. Occasionally, customers will attempt to return assets excluded by ATAC program. These items can normally be identified by a review of the DOC ID described above, and shall not be accepted by the Contractor. All cargo and cargo documentation shall be visually screened by the Contractor to ensure excluded items are not accepted, and to detect hazardous material not identified as such or not properly prepared and certified by the Customer. If the documentation on an asset is missing or illegible, the Contractor shall refuse the asset. If the Contractor accepts an excluded item by mistake, it must be turned over to the Government for handling.
1.3.2.1.2. For Redistribution/Ready for Issue (RDO/RFI) material pick-ups, the carrier shall identify the freight having a DOC ID beginning with A2, A4, and A5. DOC ID A2A, (RDO-RFI) pick up sites are scheduled on a daily basis, prescheduled by the ATAC office (in the form of a Pick Up Directive (PUD)), or by the ATAC Dispatch. The carrier will be notified electronically of the PUD for ATAC eligible material location and availability. Locations designated as daily or routine pick up sites, identified in Appendix E, may have ATAC material available on a daily basis with no PUD generated. The Contractor shall be responsible for ATAC eligible material pick up at these locations although no PUD is generated. All RDOs and RFIs shall be picked up within 24 hours of notification.
These will have a project code of ZI7 assigned in record position 57 through 59 of the DD1348, for authorization.
All material located at a Defense Distribution Depot (DDD) shall be picked up and any shipments not assigned a PUD shall be identified to ATAC for the PUD to be provided within 24 hours. Moves directed by the ATAC Dispatch function will be in accordance with the Weapons System Support (WSS) repair contracts and delivery times specified in 1.3.2.8.1.1, table of transit times. The manifest must match the PUD.
1.3.2.1.2.1. The Contractor shall ensure the shipper packages the assets in accordance with 1.3.2.4. If the packaging is acceptable, the Contractor shall perform a piece count and validate with the manifest count and when verified, sign the manifest provided by the shipper for each document which will provide a signature proof of receipt (POR) to Customer directly. The POR shall contain the Contractor's printed name, date and a place for legible employee's signature. The Contractor's file or electronic copy of document (i.e., scanned PDF) also shall be stamped, dated and signed. The Contractor is responsible for the quantity of packages, not the quantity within the package. RDO/RFI applies only to DLA or contractor repair point shipments.
1.3.2.1.2.2. DOC ID A2A, (RDO-RFI) Project Code ZI7 material is shipped to and from Defense Depots and Repair Facilities. These shipments have a variety of quantities of which shall meet the PUD quantity cited on the DD1348.
If a discrepancy exists with quantities or, material was not provided, an insufficient quantity (NQ) or no record (NR) respectively shall be entered into eRMS to identify the missing quantity or lack thereof. Any quantity that exceeds the quantity of the PUD is required to be returned to the originator.
1.3.2.1.3. The Contractor shall provide daily pick up service at designated locations as specified in Appendix E for NRFI and R&R. Assets from on-call locations shall be picked up no later than the next working day after being notified that material is available for pick up. Delivery times are specified in 1.3.2.8.1.1, table of transit times. DOC ID BC1 listed in Appendix C, (NRFI) identify ATAC eligible material that is required to be picked up locally within a 70 mile radius of a Hub or Node, as identified in Appendix E, and delivered to the Node or Hub. The carrier is required to provide signature of material received.
1.3.2.1.3.1. DOC ID BC2 (NRFI) identify ATAC eligible material which requires pick-up and delivery to either a Hub or Node or require Direct Shipment to a final destination. An eRMS manifest will be either a POT (Proof of Transfer), Direct (To Final Destination), or to ATAC for further action. Region to region rates are used for the Repair & Return Sites identified in Appendix E.
1.3.2.1.4. Repair and Return (R&R) DOCID BMD: The Contractor shall provide up to daily pick up service of ATAC eligible material at designated locations but typically pickups only occur two to three times per week.
Delivery times are specified in 1.3.2.8.1.1, table of transit times. These pick-ups are located at specific sites and require immediate shipment upon receipt. eRMS will have either a Direct or a POT (Proof of Transfer) manifest generated. The movement of repair and return items is accomplished through round robin routes.
1.3.2.1.5. Ground Marine material: The carrier will be notified electronically for material location and availability.
Ground Marine material shall be treated the same as Redistribution Order material for transit times. DOCID A5A identifies Ground Marine pickups and the transporter will receive notification from ATAC in the form of a prescheduled PUD, (Pick-Up Directive). These shall be picked up within 24 hours of notification. DOC ID A5A Ground Marine deliveries can be consolidated with other material going to the same geographical location.
1.3.2.1.6. Off Loads DOCID (D6K) : D6K pick-ups are typically done from the pier side and can change to predetermined warehouse locations and are delivered to a HUB/Node for further action. For San Diego, these offloads often fall under the 70 mile radius as local pickups and deliveries. For Norfolk Hub, these offloads/deliveries are outside the 70 mile radius for a local pickup/delivery and are covered by the round robin routes listed in Appendix E.
1.3.2.1.7. DOC ID A55, A5E, A2A (Aircraft Engines). Aircraft Engines can be on either a POT or Direct eRMS Manifest. Engines can be consolidated with other shipments to their final destination or moved via a Direct Manifest by itself. A POT Manifest identifies, to the transporter, candidates for consolidation to onward movements going to an identical final destination. It may be consolidated with other shipments providing the delivery date/timeframe is met. A Direct Manifest will be on a one to one ratio since the manifests assigned are per the document number. A Direct Manifest identifies a direct shipment to the final destination and specific timeframe (see paragraph 1.3.2.8.1.1) it shall be delivered within. All aircraft engines shall be hazmat certified (drained and purged) prior to acceptance by the shipper, condition code “A” (Ready For Issue) engines are not excluded from the Hazmat certification.
1.3.2.1.8. DOC ID BGJ, A5J, Defense Reutilization Management Office (DRMO): The contractor shall pick up material originated from the ATAC sites identified as, San Diego, CA, Norfolk, VA, Jacksonville, FL and Puget, WA.
These shipments will be prearranged for delivery by the Government personnel at the origin pick up site. The ATAC San Diego and Norfolk HUB’s will arrange DRMO pickups only for those items mistakenly sent to the HUB’s, all other DRMO pickups will be arranged by the origin units. Any material rejected by DRMO originally arranged by the origin pick up site, shall be returned to them. The POD and POS will be entered by Government personnel.
1.3.2.1.8.1. DRMO 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 DRMO 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 DRMO will accept the delivery on the date and time agreed upon. These require an ERMS Disposal Manifest. DRMO 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 DRMO material to the carrier provided all arrangements with DRMO have been made by that activity. Carrier shall only be responsible for pickup and delivery of material to the DRMO location identified by the E-RMS generated manifest once DRMO has acknowledged pending receipt of said material.” The DRMO manifest shall be signed and POD posted in eRMS. DRMO rejected material returns, shall be returned to the manifest originator. DRMO for ZI7 material shall be accepted when arrangements have been made for pick-up and delivery. Any material rejected at the time of DRMO delivery shall be returned to the originator. Any and all DMIL shall be completed by the originator prior to pick-up, including HAZMAT certification.
1.3.2.1.9. The on-call, daily and other scheduled pick up/delivery addresses identified in Appendix E are not all inclusive and are merely the common pick up/delivery addresses within a 70 mile radius of the local areas. All material that is picked up within a seventy (70) mile radius of the specified points, and are consolidated, transported, and delivered within a seventy mile radius of another region, will be charged on a per-pound basis. At no adjustment in rate or additional charge, the contractor shall pick up/deliver ATAC freight, whether it is on call or on a daily basis to any address (even if it is not identified on Appendix E) within the respective 70 mile radiuses of the identified local areas in Appendix E as long as the packages picked up/delivered does not exceed the capacity of one 53’ van per local area per day. The normal vehicle type utilized is either a 53' van or 28' straight truck and in some cases a 53' flatbed is required. In rare cases a lowboy trailer may be required.
1.3.2.1.10. The Contractor will be required to provide round robin service to/from the locations listed below:
(a) San Diego, CA to Tracy, CA back to San Diego, CA
(b) Norfolk, VA to New Cumberland, PA back to Norfolk, VA
(c) Jacksonville, FL to Warner Robins, GA back to Jacksonville, FL
(d) Lemoore, CA to Fallon, NV back to Lemoore, CA
(e) Lemoore, CA to China Lake, CA back to Lemoore, CA
(f) Washington, DC to Beaufort, SC back to Washington, DC
(g) Atlanta, GA to Ft. Worth, TX back to Atlanta, GA
(h) New Orleans, LA to Atlanta, GA back to New Orleans, LA
(i) New Orleans, LA to Ft. Worth, TX back to New Orleans, LA
Transportation of NRFI assets is included in the round robin lanes. Each lane averages pick-up and delivery service two times a week to/from a Hub/Node to an assigned Defense Depot. The contractor shall bill the Government the lesser of either the assets consolidated region to region per pound rate (including fuel surcharge accessorial) or the round robin rate. See Appendix F for ERMS processing requirements
1.3.2.1.11. Contractor shall load/unload the freight at hubs and nodes where Contractor personnel are located, including local deliveries as defined by this PWS. The Government or vendor will load/offload freight at other locations. During ship offload actions the carrier will be provided with an estimated number of truck loads, estimated weight, and designated delivery locations.
1.3.2.1.12. Containers moved under this contract that fall under the scope of the Container Reutilization Refurbishment Center (CRRC) program shall be handled on a space available basis. These containers will not have a defined pick up or delivery requirement. In locations where Local NAVEXPRESS exists, shipments within the 70 mile radius are exempt.
1.3.2.1.13. eRMS manifest type called “ATAC” manifest. This informs the contractor to turn the manifest over to ATAC Hub/Node for further action that includes additional packaging, deep screening or transshipment processing.
1.3.2.2. Task Area 2, Subtask 2 - Receiving Material.
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 Jan. After the receipt is recorded in eRMS the contractor shall select and enter into eRMS whether the document is being sent to shipment preparation, screening or packaging. 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.
1.3.2.3. Task Area 2, Subtask - Packaging and Rejection of Articles/Shipments.
1.3.2.3.1. The Contractor shall examine all cargo and reject any items or shipping material if packed in an inadequate or unsafe manner. The Contractor shall ensure the shipper packages all RDO and RFI assets with the minimum packaging necessary for safe transport, IAW NAVSUP P700-CNP, to ensure no damage to material during transit.
Turn-in parts identified as “F” condition require two layers of bubble wrap or equivalent materials for protection until received at the Hub. Once at the Hub, NAVSUP P700-CNP supersedes all other packaging requirements. For heavy and/or bulky items a wood crate or container is also required.
1.3.2.3.2. The contractor shall reject assets not packaged appropriately to prevent damage during transit. The contractor shall assume assets packaged in sealed boxes meet the minimum packaging requirements. If the packaging is acceptable, sign two copies of BC1 and BC2 DD1348-1A for each piece, and provide signature POR to Customer directly. The POR shall contain the Contractor's name, date and a place for legible employee's signature. The Contractor's file or electronic copy of document also shall be stamped, dated and signed. Note: In rare instances when the Contractor has damaged the outer packaging or crate during shipping, the contractor is responsible for repackaging or re-cooperage services at no additional cost to the Government.
1.3.2.4. Task Area 2, Subtask 4 - Shipment Consolidation.
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 truckload 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. Consolidated shipments being delivered to Naval Base Norfolk and shipments going to Cheatam Annex shall not be billed as separate destinations.
1.3.2.4.3. Shipments from nodes/e-RMS located OCONUS as well as mobile expeditionary node material which are occasionally shipped to a DoD point of entry using Government assets, shall be picked up by the service provider and brought to a consolidation point to 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.
1.3.2.4.4. The Government may direct small parcel shipments which require delivery to an isolated location, expedited delivery, or cannot be consolidated with other shipments and still meet the Required Delivery Date, to be moved via the Total Delivery Services (TDS) contract carriers. The contractor will be responsible for entering the shipment into the system of the TDS contractor identified by the Government. The decision as to which TDS carrier will be utilized is an inherently governmental function and therefore, shall not be determined by the contractor. The TDS 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.
Product Lines Working Days Routine 6 Carcass Express 1
RDO/RFI 1
