that certain GSA functions including the transportation management

fee to help fund TMSS and the transportation management support 
services related directly to EDC, WDC, and NIB/NISH transportation. 
GSA's comprehensive web-based TMSS will be used to process the 
transportation transactions. The use of TMSS will increase the 
efficiency and effectiveness of transportation billing, prepayment 
audit, and payment. TSPs that provide transportation services for GSA, 
Global Supply (FL) will benefit from TMSS electronic billing, automated
