MTMC has moved to the use of tailored transportation contracts for its domestic freight and fuels, said Col. Jan Frye, Principal Assistant Responsible for Contracting. The command's first contracting action under the Federal Acquisition Regulation took place, June 21, with a MTMC solicitation that went to transportation providers. Full implementation of Federal Acquisition Regulation contracting will take place by Sept. 30.
The changes to contracting for domestic freight were promised in March by Maj. Gen. Kenneth L. Privratsky, Commander, at the 2002 MTMC Training Symposium, in Dallas. When a proposed pilot program threatened to delay implementation of the program, Privratsky ordered the program's full implementation.
To meet the accelerated goal, a MTMC Integrated Process Team was organized to streamline the transition. To assist interested freight transportation providers, the team held pre-proposal conferences in Houston and Atlanta. Pre-proposal conferences for fuel transportation providers were held in Washington, D.C., St. Louis and Los Angeles.
In the past, MTMC contracted for domestic freight via the Guaranteed Traffic Program. The program solicited transportation providers via tenders to submit rates for heavy freight traffic lanes for a short period of time - typically one year. However, transportation providers could leave the contract without penalty.
There are several exceptions to the proposal. They include MTMC's continued use of voluntary tender procedures for shipments not covered under a long-term contract. Those government bills of lading-based movements continue to be recognized as exceptions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
Official notification of the proposed change was published in the July 21, 2000, issue of the "Federal Register."
