            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

 

                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 47_TRANSPORTATION--Table of Contents

 

             Subpart 47.3_Transportation in Supply Contracts

 

47.301-3  Using the Defense Transportation System (DTS).



    (a) All military and civilian agencies shipping, or arranging for 

the acquisition and shipment by Government contractors, through the use 

of military-controlled transport or through military transshipment 

facilities shall follow Department of Defense (DOD) Regulation 4500.32-

R, Military Standard Transportation and Movement Procedures (MILSTAMP). 

MILSTAMP establishes uniform procedures and documents for the 

generation, documentation, communication, and use of transportation 

information, thus providing the capability for control of shipments 

moving in the DTS. MILSTAMP has been implemented on a world-wide basis.

    (b) Contracting activities are responsible for (1) ensuring that the 

requirements of the MILSTAMP regulation are included in appropriate 

contracts for all applicable shipments and (2) enforcing these 

requirements with regard to shipments under their control. This includes 

requirements relating to documentation, marking, advance notification of 

shipment dates, and terminal clearances.

    (c) Contractual documents shall designate a contract administration 

office (see 42.202(a)) as the contact point to which the contractor will 

provide necessary information to (1) effect MILSTAMP documentation and 

movement control, including air or water terminal shipment clearances, 

and (2) obtain data necessary for shipment marking and freight routing. 

Contractual documents shall specify that the contractor shall not ship 

directly to a military air or water port terminal without authorization 

from the designated contract administration office (see 47.305-6(f)).
