FEMA NATIONAL CROSS DOCK AND INCIDENT SUPPORT SERVICES: A critical task of FEMA Logistics Management Directorate (LMD) is to ensure delivery of the right resources, at the right place, and at the right time to support state, local, tribal governments, and territories. LMD delivers these necessary resources to include commodities and manufactured housing units to provide support during disaster operations. Previous disasters have demonstrated challenges with trailer operations that have resulted in high detention cost and trailer accountability, which impacted returning trailers back to carriers and closure of key FEMA logistic locations. To reduce any reoccurrence in future disaster operations, a FEMA transportation working group within the LMD found that cross docking operations would significantly reduce trailer detention costs during disaster activation and would create mechanisms to better control and track leased resources. Instead of shipping directly to the Incident Staging Base (ISB)/ Federal Staging Area (FSA), non-DHS trailers will be cross docked to a fleet of trailers equipped with GPS-enabled In Transit Visibility (ITV) and managed by a single contractor with an issued task order. The LMD will be the primary provider of the cross-docking operation and/or will supplement regional cross docking operational capabilities when needed. Please see the solicitation Number 70FB7025R00000005 and attachments for additional information.
