Attention All Freight Transportation Service Providers

GSA wants your comments on draft new versions of the Freight Standard Tender of Service (STOS) and other documents related to acquisition of freight services under the GSA Freight Transportation Management Program. These draft revisions will incorporate: • All transportation modes, including air, rail, intermodal, ocean, brokers, freight forwarders, other intermediaries, and motor freight; • PayPort Express as the standard third party payment system; and • TransPort Integrator as the new GSA transportation management system, replacing the Transportation Management Services Solution.
