Program overview
The Freight Management Program provides worldwide freight shipping and rate management services for federal agencies. It’s a tender based program available with no commitment, and has no set up cost to your agency.
- Use our TMSS to book and manage your domestic freight shipments.
- Follow our OTO process for international needs.
- Governed by our Standard Tender of Service.
- No contractual requirements!
The Freight Management Program is designated by OMB as a tier 2 Solution within Governmentwide Category Management, and will help meet your agency’s spend under management goals.
One-Time-Only shipment
A One-Time-Only, or OTO, shipment has requirements that fall outside the scope of the transportation rates maintained as part of the Freight Management Program. Examples include:
- Destinations or origins outside the continental United States.
- Vehicles and trailers.
There are no contract requirements to use these transportation rates; however, you must have a funding source identified to settle the vendor invoice.
