Navy advanced traceability and control (atac v)

The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Navy Advanced Traceability and Control (ATAC V) program, seeking transportation services for Department of Defense freight movement including Depot Level Repairable (DLR) components across the contiguous United States, Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada. The procurement covers comprehensive transportation services for high-value military assets including Not Ready For Issue (NRFI) materials, Ready For Issue (RFI) items, Repair and Return (R&R) shipments, Marine Aviation components, Ground Marine materials, Coast Guard materials, and aircraft engines from point of failure to repair facilities and back to end users. Key requirements include consolidated freight movement, express service capabilities, electronic tracking through the electronic Retrograde Management System (eRMS), strict transit time compliance ranging from 1-7 calendar days depending on shipment type, and comprehensive reporting and tracking capabilities. The RFI requests detailed information from potential contractors including company details, business model, carrier type, tracking capabilities, hub facility access, and commercial practices. Responses to this market research RFI are due by 4:00 PM Central Time on September 5, 2025.

This opportunity operates under NAICS code 484230 (Specialized Freight Trucking, Long-Distance) with a small business size standard of $30,000,000, and no set-aside designation has been applied. USTRANSCOM has expressed particular interest in responses from small businesses, including HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, and other socio-economic categories. The current ATAC contract is scheduled to expire on September 28, 2026, with a possible six-month extension available, and the follow-on contract is anticipated to be awarded around December 15, 2026. The contract will require a single carrier to handle transportation services that range from small circuit cards to large items such as complete aircraft, emphasizing the need for scalable logistics capabilities. The contract start date is projected for August 13, 2025, and will include provisions for surge or contingency operations support. This RFI serves as market research only and does not constitute a commitment by the government to procure these services.
