Transportability (option ATR) is requested or to the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command

Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) for all other modes of transportability.

After receipt of order (ARO), the successful offeror shall contact the Customer Agency to ascertain if the

Customer Agency has made application for Transportability Certification to the ATTLA/SDDCTEA.

The successful offeror shall make contact with the ATTLA/SDDCTEA and shall provide and submit all related drawings and engineering data, within 90 days ARO, directly to ATTLA/SDDCTEA.

The successful offeror shall continue to work with the ATTLA/SDDCTEA to obtain Transportability

Certification for the vehicle(s) ordered. The successful offeror shall supply the ATTLA/SDDCTEA certification memo to the Customer agency within 120 days after receipt of the vehicle(s) order. A copy of the

ATTLA/SDDCTEA certification memo shall be available during the final inspection.

ATTLA is located at Wright Patterson Air Force Base and can be contacted via e-mail at

"ATTLA@wpafb.af.mil". SDDCTEA is located in Newport News, VA and can be contacted by e-mail at

"dpemail@tea.army.mil" or by phone at (757) 599-1113. A transportability report form for SDDCTEA can be obtained at "http://www.tea.army.mil/pubs/nr/deploy/transinstruction/DI-PACK-80880B.pdf"\t"_new".

References, publications, assistance, and engineering services are available from SDDCTEA. Testing information can be obtained from the Aberdeen Test Center (ATC). ATC can be contacted through their website at "http://www.atc.army.mil".

Upon receipt of the request, drawings, and data, ATTLA/SDDCTEA shall conduct an analysis of the item's transportability at no cost to the requesting federal agency. If the item meets the requirements, ATTLA/SDDCTEA shall return a certification memo to the Customer Agency with a copy to the successful offeror stating the conditions of approval. Otherwise, ATTLA/SDDCTEA shall recommend changes that shall allow the item to meet those requirements. Very rarely an item cannot be airlifted or transported at all. In these cases, ATTLA's /SDDCTEA's reply shall include an explanation of the rejection.

If analysis alone cannot positively determine the transportability of the item, then a test loading shall be required. Test loadings are done when the transportability is uncertain. The test loads require a formal test report and usually are conducted as Special Airlift or Transport Missions. The Customer agency shall be responsible for all costs associated with test loadings when it is determined to be required.

Removal or relocation of mechanically attached (non-welded, non-riveted, etc.) components with common tools, requiring not more than one (1) man-hour total to remove, relocate, and tie down; and not more than one

(1) man-hour total to return the vehicle to its original state, as opposed to reduced configuration; shall be acceptable. The self-mobility of the vehicle shall not be affected by reducing its configuration. Tie downs for removed or relocated equipment shall be furnished. The rated capacity of the axles and suspension system shall be not less than 1.25 times the load imposed on each by the curb weight of the vehicle. Shoring may be used to meet the transportability requirements. The vehicle shall not be delivered to the Government in its reduced configuration.

3.5.2 TRANSPORTABILITY VERIFICATION

The completed vehicle shall be inspected to determine that it conforms to the approved certification memo the successful offeror received from ATTLA/SDDCTEA. At a minimum, the following angles, dimensions, and descriptions shall be checked against approved data and drawings:

• Angle of approach.
