DODAAC TAC 4 identification corresponds to which description?

• A. The mailing address
• B. The ship to address
• C. The billing address
• D. A commercial shipping address for bulk/freight + small parcel post when TAC 2 address cannot be used by a commercial carrier for delivery

Answer: (D)

TAC 4 serves as a specialized shipping address type tied to a DODAAC for DoD activities. It is used when the standard ship-to address (TAC 2) cannot be reached by a commercial carrier. In that case, TAC 4 provides a commercial shipping address suited for bulk or freight shipments and for small parcel post, ensuring delivery through a commercial carrier.

Think of TAC 2 as the normal destination for deliveries, while TAC 4 acts as a backup pathway to get materials delivered when the usual address isn’t reachable by a carrier. This is distinct from a mailing address (used for correspondence), a ship-to address (the regular delivery point), or a billing address (for payments). The described purpose—a commercial shipping address for bulk/freight and small parcel post when TAC 2 can’t be used by a carrier—fits TAC 4 exactly.
