              Freight Delivery Instructions
      Vehicles transporting freight destined for DHS Headquarters (HQ) Facilities in Washington, DC, Arlington, Alexandria or the Transportation Security Operations Center are required to undergo security inspections at the Federal Protective Service (FPS) Vehicle Inspection Facility (VIF) prior to making a freight delivery. Freight delivery vehicles must arrive at each destination with a FPS seal attached. *All HAZMAT vehicles must be processed through the VIF.*

In instances where there are multiple DHS-HQ destinations for one vehicle, the driver will be issued multiple seals at the VIF. All commercial delivery services such as FEDEX, UPS, DHL, are not permitted to make deliveries directly to DHS-HQ Facilities located in Washington, DC, Arlington or Alexandria. As outlined below, the size of the delivery determines whether the cargo should be processed through the VIF or a Remote Delivery Site (RDS).

The VIF is available for inspection of vehicles carrying DHS freight between the hours of 5:00 am to 5:00 pm daily M-F. The VIF is also available from 5:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturdays. The VIF is located at 1880 2nd Street Southwest Washington, DC. Delivery vehicles will also be subjected to explosive detection dogs at the Government's discretion. Please make sure the freight invoice has special instruction for delivery through the FPS facility to final destination.
