3. Transportation Process
DD250 accepted by DCMA
Shipping Information Request (SIR) submitted by Vendor
DCMA works SIRS requests according to Delivery Term Code (DTC) and then send shipping instructions back to Vendor
FMS requisitions
The delivery term code in the requisition is used to determine how the shipment will be processed
Delivery Term Code 2 (position 5) is stateside delivery
Delivery Term Code 4, 5, 8 requires a Notice of Availability (NOA*)
Delivery Term Code 9 means it goes Defense Transportation System (DTS)
*NOA tells the Freight Forwarder (FF) the material is ready for movement and waiting for shipping instructions from the FF

4. Common Issues SIR information
Most issues are worked using SIR number therefore it’s always beneficial to provide number to USAF transportation POC
Currently not contractually required
Ship In Place (SIP)
Frequently completes USAF documentation
Bills user before assets ship
User could initiate Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR) for non- receipt of assets
Assets sit at Vendors and lose valuable shelf life
Potential loss of visibility of assets stored at Vendor’s facility
USAF process does not allow SIP w/o SIR number being provided

5. Common Issues (cont) Timelines for shipments can vary DTC
Port availability
Country
Vessel and/or Pilot Pick-Up (PPU) availability
Transportation Plans
Sanctions
Freight Forwarder
Most can’t accept CAD/PAD due to explosive nature
