Sec. 102-117.220  What choices do I have to ship HHG?

    (a) You may choose to ship HHG by:
    (1) Using the commuted rate system;
    (2) GSA's Centralized Household Goods Traffic Management Program 
(CHAMP);
    (3) Contracting directly with a TSP, (including a relocation company 
that offers transportation services) using the acquisition procedures 
under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (see Sec. 102-117.35);
    (4) Using another agency's contract with a TSP (see Sec. Sec. 102-
117.40 and 102-117.45);
    (5) Using a rate tender under the Federal transportation procurement 
statutes (49 U.S.C. 10721 or 13712) (see Sec. 102-117.35).
    (b) As an alternative to the choices in paragraph (a) of this 
section, you may request the Department of State to assist with 
shipments of HHG moving to, from, and between foreign countries or 
international shipments originating in the continental United States. 
The nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate may assist with arrangements of 
movements originating abroad. For further information contact:

    Note to Sec. 102-117-220: Agencies must use the commuted rate system 
for civilian employees who transfer between points inside the 
continental United States unless it is evident from the cost comparison 
that the Government will incur a savings ($100 or more) using another 
choice listed. The use of
