NEW YORK, NY, April 16, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- FlatRate Moving, a nationally recognized leader in relocation and logistics, is proud to announce its formal approval by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to participate in the Centralized Household Goods Traffic Management Program (CHAMP) Domestic Program. This distinction not only reflects FlatRate's exemplary service standards and operational efficiency but also marks a significant milestone in the company's continued evolution as a trusted provider in the federal moving space.

With this approval, New York's FlatRate Moving becomes an officially designated Transportation Service Provider (TSP) for the federal government, gaining authorization to manage domestic household goods relocations for U.S. government employees, civilian personnel, and agency transitions. Entry into the GSA's CHAMP program is highly selective, with only a limited number of carriers nationwide meeting the stringent performance, compliance, and financial responsibility criteria.

"Being accepted into the GSA's CHAMP program is an exciting milestone," said David L. Giampietro, General Counsel & Chief Administrative Officer at FlatRate Moving. "It affirms our commitment to excellence and highlights the trust that public institutions place in our services."

What the CHAMP Approval Means
The GSA's CHAMP program was established to streamline and regulate household goods transportation services for federal employees, ensuring quality, consistency, and cost control. It provides pre-approved Transportation Service Providers (TSPs) that federal agencies can rely on for employee relocations across the continental United States.

To be selected, moving companies must undergo a rigorous application process that evaluates their operational infrastructure, safety record, insurance coverage, financial stability, customer service record, and prior experience with large-scale moves. Approval signals that a company can meet the federal government's high expectations in terms of service delivery, compliance, and accountability.
FlatRate Moving's inclusion in this elite program serves as a strong endorsement of its capacity to handle sensitive, high-volume federal moves with the precision and care required of government contracts.

A Legacy of Excellence in Moving Services
Founded in 1991, FlatRate Moving has grown from a local New York operation into a national leader in residential, commercial, and specialty logistics. The company revolutionized the industry with its "flat rate pricing" model, offering customers transparency and predictability – an approach that has since become a benchmark across the sector.

FlatRate has long demonstrated its ability to handle complex logistics challenges, from coast-to-coast residential moves to corporate relocations and white-glove services for high-value items. With operations spanning major metropolitan hubs and a robust network of trained personnel and fleet vehicles, the company is uniquely positioned to support federal agencies with scalable, secure, and punctual services.

"Over the years, we've invested heavily in technology, training, and infrastructure," added Giampietro. "This GSA approval reinforces that our systems and people are among the best in the business."

Federal-Level Readiness and Capability
FlatRate's entry into the CHAMP program points to its logistical readiness to serve federal agencies. Its infrastructure includes:

Secure storage and warehousing solutions across multiple locations

A fleet of GPS-equipped vehicles for real-time tracking and route optimization

Trained and background-checked personnel experienced in working within federal security protocols

A proprietary inventory management and dispatch system that enhances efficiency

Dedicated account managers and support staff trained in federal contract compliance

These capabilities allow FlatRate to support mission-critical moves, ensure data security and personal property protection, and deliver seamless experiences to federal clients undergoing relocation.

A Trusted Partner for Government Agencies
With federal agencies frequently relocating personnel for reassignments, departmental reorganizations, or new project deployments, having a dependable, experienced mover is essential. FlatRate's proven track record in managing time-sensitive and confidential moves has made it a preferred choice among institutions that demand precision and professionalism.

FlatRate also places a premium on customer service, with dedicated support teams available to guide clients through each step of the moving process – from pre-move consultations and packing to transportation and post-move assistance.

"The needs of federal clients are unique. Timelines are tight, security is paramount, and accountability is critical," said Giampietro. "Our systems and teams are built to meet and exceed these expectations."

A Step Forward in FlatRate's Growth Strategy
GSA approval represents more than just a new line of business – it is a strategic advancement that aligns with FlatRate's long-term goal of becoming the go-to logistics partner for government operations. As part of this initiative, FlatRate plans to expand its presence in Washington, D.C., and other key federal corridors, increase its investment in compliance and training, and grow its capacity to support multi-agency relocations.

The company is also exploring enhanced sustainability initiatives to align with federal guidelines on eco-conscious logistics, including fuel-efficient vehicles and recyclable packaging materials.
