The services required include receipt of inbound shipments from vendors, inspection, and preparation for transshipment. Preparation for transshipment shall include shipment consolidation thereby ensuring readiness for onward movement in accordance with required Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal regulations through, small package carriers, the U.S. Postal System and Defense Transportation System (DTS), and reporting on noted discrepancies.
