            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 47_TRANSPORTATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  47.000  Scope of subpart.

    (a) This part prescribes policies and procedures for--
    (1) Applying transportation and traffic management considerations in 
the acquisition of supplies; and
    (2) Acquiring transportation or transportation-related services by 
contract methods other than bills of lading, transportation requests, 
transportation warrants, and similar transportation forms. Even though 
the FAR does not regulate the acquisition of transportation or 
transportation-related services when the bill of lading is the contract, 
this contract method is widely used and, therefore, relevant guidance on 
the use of the bill of lading, particularly the Government bill of 
lading (GBL), is provided in this part.
    (b) The definitions in this part have been condensed from statutory 
definitions. In case of inconsistency between the language of this part 
and the statutory requirements, the statute shall prevail.
