NA This is not a Request For Proposals(RFP). Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) FOR the acquisition of Technical Support Services for Headquarters, Military Traffic Management Command, 200 Stovall Road, Alexandria, VA, solicitation DAMT01-02-R-0057. Specifically, MTMC operates two legacy informat ion technology (IT) systems that support management of surface transportation operations. The Integrated Booking System (IBS) manages all MTMC point-to-point ocean cargo traffic, and the Global Freight Management (GFM) system manages all other MTMC surface movement traffic (rail, truck, inland waterway, etc.). These systems have supported MTMC operations for years, but a recent internal reorganization study (aimed at consolidating resources and focused on core business processes) questioned the need for sep arate surface movement systems. MTMC developed these systems internally to help manage unique DoD transportation requirements when surface transportation management focused on modal and regional traffic. Recently, the management focus, commercial software capabilities, and logistics requirements have expanded, allowing a broader “end-to-end” view that transcends modal and regional barriers. MTMC consolidated all modes of traffic, worldwide, into a single surface movement division, but it continues to rely o n information from systems designed with the original focus. HQ MTMC desires to replace these legacy systems with an integrated surface movement capability, focused on end-to-end transportation management, which handles all modes of surface traffic. The anticipated period of Source Selection is 20 July 2002 through approximately 20 Sept 2002. This is not a Request For Proposals(RFP).
