摘要: |
DoD needs to supply and equip the warfighter during conflicts, humanitarian assistance operations, or civil defense actions. Use of containers can help minimize loss, damage, and pilferage of cargo as well as reduce in-transit times. Although there are many types of containers, DoD generally refers to containers as common-use and specialized shipping containers. Unit-owned containers are specialized shipping containers that Service units manage. The most common types of unit-owned containers are Internal Airlift or Helicopter Slingable Unit containers, Quadruple containers, and Triple containers. The Defense Supply Center Philadelphia purchased and supplied specialized containers for Army and Air Force units, the Army Tank- automotive and Armaments Command acquired containers for some Army units, and the Marine Corps Systems Command acquired containers for its units. Between July 2001 and September 2002, the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia awarded contracts totaling 176 million for specialized shipping containers and accessories. In May 1999, the Marine Corps awarded a 68.5 million contract for unit-owned containers. The Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command awarded a 10.4 million contract for unit- owned containers in August 2001. |
