Avalon offers
SDDC Bond and Regulatory Defense program for TIA members
Transportation providers moving goods for
the Department of Defense (DOD) are required to secure an
SDDC bond to secure their operations. Avalon Risk Management
provides the required surety bonds and insurance coverage
for transportation providers to conduct business. We are
proud to offer TIA members special discounts on their SDDC
bond combined with the Regulatory Defense program.
SDDC Bond
SDDC bonds secure the performance and fulfillment of
transportation provider obligations to deliver DOD freight.
It will cover any instance where a transportation provider
cannot or will not deliver DOD freight tendered to them,
such as default, abandoned shipments and bankruptcy by the
transportation provider. The bond is not utilized for
operational problems such as late pickup or delivery,
excessive transit times, refusals, no shows,
improper/inadequate equipment or claims for lost or damaged
cargo.
Regulatory Defense
The bond may be combined with optional SDDC Regulatory
Defense coverage. This coverage will provide legal defense
relating to SDDC enforcement actions against a broker. For
instance, it will respond in situations where a broker is
summoned to a hearing with the review board or where a
written response is requested of the broker by the SDDC.
Exclusive Offer for TIA Members
TIA members enjoy a discounted premium of $1,250 for the
bond and $400 for the optional Regulatory Defense
protection. Those members participating in TIA’s Performance
Certified Program will pay only $1,000 for the bond and $400
for Regulatory Defense. Visit
