DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

MTMC's Acquisition Strategy Concerning the Department of Defense 
(DOD) Personal Property Program

AGENCY: Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), DOD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: MTMC is engaged in re-engineering the existing DOD Personal 
Property Program in an effort to enhance the quality of life for our 
service members and their families. As additional objectives of this 
re-engineering effort, MTMC desires to simplify the process, control 
program costs, and ensure quality of service. The re-engineering effort 
will adopt, to the fullest extent possible, proven commercial business 
practices and relieve carriers of DOD unique terms and conditions. As 
part of the re-engineering effort, MTMC on 30 June 1995 published a 
draft requirements document that provides details to industry 
concerning the anticipated requirements to participate in the movement 
of personal property for DOD. In conjunction with the previous release 
of the requirements document, MTMC is publishing the acquisition 
strategy. The acquisition strategy along with the requirements document 
should be considered a single package. MTMC requests that industry 
provide their combined input, suggestions, and constructive criticism 
concerning the draft requirement document and the acquisition strategy.

DATES: Comments must be received by 20 September 1995.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Headquarters, Military Traffic Management 
Command, ATTN: MTOP-Q, 5611 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041-5050.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joe DeLucia, MTOP-QE, (703) 681-6753.
