Compliance & credentials

Everything we hold, everything in process, and the dates.

Most brokerages publish none of this. We publish all of it, including the parts that aren't finished yet — because a vendor who tells you what they don't have yet is easier to trust than one who lets you find out.

Tier 3

The roadmap, including the wall we haven't cleared.

Direct freight tendering from the Department of Defense runs through SDDC's Freight Carrier Registration Program. For brokers, FCRP requires three consecutive years of active, uninterrupted FMCSA operating authority — with no exceptions — plus a separate $100,000 DoD performance bond (a BMC-84 does not satisfy it) and $150,000 cargo insurance.

Avora's authority activates in 2026, which puts FCRP eligibility in 2029 at the earliest. We are not going to imply otherwise.

Near-term defense work therefore comes through prime and sub-tier subcontracting — which is where the Indian Incentive Program does its work, and where a prime can act on Avora immediately. See how that works →

Regulatory scope

Freight Avora does not handle

Brokers, freight forwarders, and logistics companies are restricted from handling shipments requiring Transportation Protective Service, and from Class 1 Divisions 1.1 through 1.6 and sensitive munitions. Avora neither solicits nor accepts that freight, and would tell you so before you asked.
