This report builds on public- and private-sector vendor evaluation programs to identify how the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) can obtain best value when buying transportation services from personal property carriers. The report describes a best-value concept and makes two primary recommendations: (1) That MTMC adopt an indexing methodology to compute either a Best Value Rate or a Best Value Score for each carrier by incorporating both carriers' linehaul transportation rates and quality of performance. The rate or score is used to rank carriers on the Traffic Distribution Records maintained by each Personal Property Shipping Office. (2) That MTMC enhance its personal property traffic allocation and shipment distribution procedures to make them compatible with the proposed best-value method. The report also describes a test process for the proposed concept, recommends a test schedule, and identifies major test milestones. Best value, Best-value index, Indexing, Lowest overall cost, Performance assessment, Personal property, Quality performance, Traffic allocation, Traffic distribution, Vendor evaluation, Beat value score, Best value rate, Best value clusters.
