The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) plans to negotiate a small business set-aside contract to provide non-personal inspection services aimed at evaluating the safety, security, and other service standards of commercial carriers transporting Department of Defense cargo within the continental United States. The contract is expected to be a firm fixed price agreement with a base period of two years and three additional one-year option periods, set to begin around April 1, 2002. The focus is on ensuring that commercial carriers meet required regulations and standards critical to the secure and efficient transport of DoD shipments. This contract is administered by the Headquarters of the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command located at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. Although specific NAICS codes and detailed set-aside type descriptions are not provided, the requirement targets small businesses for this service. The solicitation was initially posted in January 2002, and the contract scope encompasses inspection services intended to uphold rigorous oversight of commercial carrier performance in support of Department of Defense logistics operations.
