GSA's employee relocation services are available under Schedule 48, Transportation, Delivery and Relocation Solutions (TDRS), for employees and their families being transferred to new duty stations anywhere within the continental United States and Puerto Rico. Some services are also available overseas.

Government employees relocating to another duty station may use the TDRS Schedule to take the stress out of relocating employees.

• destination area services,
• home marketing assistance,
• home sales services,
• household goods move management services,
• mortgage counseling,
• relocation management, and more.
