D -- Global Transportation Network (GTN)

HQ AMC Contracting has chosen to extend the existing Global Transportation Network (GTN) contract with Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems & Solutions for an additional twelve months, invoking the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1), which allows for sole source extension. The GTN system supports the U.S. Transportation Command’s in-transit visibility for passengers, cargo, and supplies moving through the Defense Transportation System. Initially awarded to Northrup Grumman Mission Systems in 2003 to develop the replacement system GTN 21, schedule delays have necessitated extending the current GTN contract to maintain operational continuity until GTN 21 is fully accepted by the government. During this extension, Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems & Solutions continues to provide essential maintenance services, including software defect analysis, repair, and support of both developed software and integrated commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products. Additional support activities encompass system administration, database management, help desk operations, and outreach efforts. Following the acceptance of GTN 21, the original GTN will be systematically dismantled, including the shutdown of related sites and the disposition of government equipment. Contract oversight and inquiries can be addressed to Don Tucker, the assigned Contract Specialist. The contracting office is situated at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, under the Department of Defense.
