Reminder: 400NG & International Tender – DOD Stop Movement Adjustment (Jul 6 2020)

Advisory #20-017

TRANSCOM recently released advisory #20-0074D and advisory #20-0093 announcing changes to the 400NG and International Tender.

The first change will discontinue the 10% adjustment. Effective July 1, 2020, the 10% adjustment is no longer authorized. This is in line with the cancellation of the Stop Movement Order and issuance of the Transition to a Conditions-Based, Phased Approach to Travel.

Any shipment with a pickup date of July 1, 2020 and forward is not authorized the 10% adjustment. This will also include shipments with an original pickup date of July 1, 2020 and forward, but where the pickup date was adjusted to June.

The second change acknowledges the challenges TSP’s and agents face with movement of shipments placed into SIT at origin under non-peak rates and will allow for qualifying shipments directed into SIT at origin, due to the Stop Movement Order, to be billed using the 2020 LHS rate and baseline rates for the delivery out of SIT.

Shipments must meet the following requirements to qualify:

• SIT at origin must have been directed due to the Stop Movement Order (with corresponding documentation) AND
• Shipment delivery out of SIT at origin is on or after May 15, 2020.

If both requirements are met, the TSP is authorized to use either their nonpeak or peak rate – whichever pays the higher cost for the delivery out of SIT at origin.

Shipments are NOT authorized an adjustment to their rate if:

• SIT at origin was not directed by the DOD as a result of the Stop Movement Order OR
• Delivery out of SIT at origin date was scheduled prior to May 15, 2020 and the TSP negotiated a delivery out of SIT at origin date on or after May 15, 2020.

This rate change does not apply to local moves, Non-Temporary Storage- Retrograde shipments, Direct Procurement Method, or One-Time Only shipments.
