The policy of this agency is that DVD arrangements will fully support our asset visibility objectives and initiatives. DVD shipments must meet requirements of the Defense Transportation System (DTS) when those commercial shipments have to be diverted through DTS entry points. To support in transit visibility, including the customer’s ability to track and trace DVD shipments, DVD contracts shall comply with guidance provided in 52.211-9010. To simplify vendor compliance with this requirement, vendors shall be strongly encouraged to implement the Agency’s automated tool, the Distribution Planning and Management System (DPMS) on a voluntary basis. As DPMS matures, the Agency goal will be to implement DPMS across the board to all vendors.
