Update #2 · Latest ·
USTRANSCOM Defense Courier Division (DCD) requires air transportation via commercial scheduled service routes to augment its global transportation network. DCD couriers must maintain constant positive control of all material during loading, transport, and unloading. Two DCD couriers will accompany their material during all movements between staging areas and the aircraft and board the aircraft after their material has been loaded and aircraft doors sealed. DCD may also employ a team of recovery couriers at the arrival location to assist the traveling couriers with maintaining positive control during loading and unloading. DCD couriers will conduct planeside inventories to ensure all material is accounted for prior to departure.
The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, facilities, supervision, and direct materials necessary for the performance of the air transportation for two (2) DCD couriers with personal carry-on baggage and classified/sensitive material on scheduled service air routes as specified. The contractor will transport DCD couriers together with the courier material during ground handling operations and allow DCD couriers to continually observe aircraft and material as described below. When contractor personnel require access to the cargo bay after it has been sealed, couriers will be permitted access planeside in a position which allows them to observe and monitor the status of courier material, except in cases where courier observation would seriously jeopardize safety. See attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) for complete performance requirements.
