Next Steps: Brokers should start reviewing eligibility requirements, gathering necessary documentation, and familiarizing themselves with the TMSS 2.0 platform. With federal freight opportunities on the rise, now is the time to get in the game. For those who wish to participate, temporary accounts will be available from May 1st through June 15, 2025.
To begin the registration process, brokers should complete the following steps:
- Review and agree to GSA Freight Management Program Standard Tenders of Service (STOS) – This is a non-negotiable requirement. Once a temporary account is assigned, a TSP Agreement will be provided for completion.
- Register at SAM.gov – This ensures the correct Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) is linked to the broker’s profile.
- Provide proof of insurance – A certificate of insurance with a minimum of $150,000 in cargo insurance is required, including policy number and expiration date.
- File rates in GSA’s TMSS 2.0 system – Brokers must submit rates before the end of the rate filing period to participate.
