DEPT of Defense Scott AFB, ILCloses September 1, 2026

What the Army Transportation Command is buying

The Army Transportation Command (ARTRANS) is looking for information on existing commercial systems, software, or programs. These solutions should help them vet commercial transportation service providers for their Freight Carrier Registration Program. The goal is to improve how they register, vet, and audit domestic freight carriers that support the Department of War.

This is a Request for Information (RFI), meaning the agency is gathering details about available solutions. It is not a solicitation for a contract or a purchase order at this time. Vendors can use this opportunity to showcase their capabilities and influence future requirements.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

This RFI was published on August 05, 2026. The deadline for responses is September 01, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET. All submissions must be received by this time.

After the deadline, the Army Transportation Command will review the information submitted by vendors. This review will help them understand the current market for solutions that can enhance their freight carrier vetting processes.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for companies that develop and provide commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems, software, or programs. Your solution should specifically address carrier registration, vetting, and auditing for domestic freight carriers. Firms with expertise in supply chain management, logistics technology, or compliance software for transportation providers would be a good fit.

The relevant category for this RFI is professional services, focusing on information technology and specialized software solutions for government operations.
