An average of 75,000 privately owned vehicles move via the contract annually.

"The contractor has provided high-quality service under the contract since it began in 1998," said Helfrich. "We expect this level of service will now continue to be offered as a customer-focused privately owned vehicle storage service to military service members."

Previously, there was no standard storage system for privately owned vehicles. Service members made use of a variety of storage programs and policies, which varied by military installation.

Under the new program, service members may leave a vehicle for storage at any of 39 vehicle processing centers worldwide. Other transfer points include Department of Defense and American embassy vehicle processing centers. American Auto Logistics will store the vehicle until the service member returns from overseas duty. Owners may maintain complete visibility of their vehicles via the firm's Web site www.whereismypov.com.
