The GAO decision denied a protest filed on behalf of 90 motor carriers and Transportation Intermediaries Association members against the program. During GAOs deliberations of the protest, DTCI has continued to review industry proposals it received in late August with an anticipated contract award in 2007.
We have great respect for the bid protest process, said Col. Jim Lovell, director, DTCI Program Management Office, and were pleased the GAO found that the DTCI solicitation was accomplished in accordance with all applicable statutes and governing regulations. We look forward to moving forward with this initiative so that government and industry can fully team for the best possible outcomes.
DTCI is a freight management system designed to improve the reliability, predictability and efficiency of Department of Defense (DOD) materiel moving within the continental United States by reducing cycle times and improving predictability through the use of more dedicated truck schedules, cross docking operations, better mode selection and load optimization. All this will be accomplished with the development of a long-term partnership with a world-class coordinator of transportation management services to synchronize up to 260 independent shipping sites.
Benefits of the new program are expected to include increases in efficiencies and cost savings, as well as better visibility of freight movements. The enhanced visibility will enable predictability that will enhance planning of other modes of transportation so DOD can better meet end customer (warfighter) expectations of delivery.
Since USTRANSCOM was named the DODs Distribution Process Owner (DPO), several initiatives have been studied to improve supply chain support to the warfighter. DTCI is just one of these initiatives that will leverage commercial best practices to improve the movement of DOD materiel throughout the United States distribution pipeline and onward to the warfighter.
Status updates on the proposal process will be posted to the DTCI website at http://dtci.transcom.mil/ as required.
