602Transportation Services Tender
This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Transportation Services Tender Transaction Set (602) within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used to communicate rates and tender information. The transaction set permits the transmission of one docket containing all data for tender, such as names of parties, commodities, location points, shipment conditions, notes, rates (point-to-point, scale), and other charges. This transaction set is used by a carrier to submit a new tender or amendments to an existing tender. This transaction set is also used by the government to distribute transportation rates to interested parties. This transaction set fulfills the U.S. government requirements for tender offers but is not restricted to government use only. This transaction set is multi-directional between trading parties.
