                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 47_TRANSPORTATION--Table of Contents
 
                          Subpart 47.1_General
 
Sec.  47.104-2  Fixed-price contracts.

    (a) F.o.b. destination. Section 10721 quotations do not apply to 
shipments under fixed-price f.o.b. destination contracts (delivered 
price).
    (b) F.o.b. origin. Under fixed-price f.o.b. origin contracts, 
shipments normally shall be made on GBL's. However, if it is 
advantageous to the Government, the contracting officer may occasionally 
require the contractor to prepay the freight charges to a specific 
destination. In such cases, the contractor shall use a commercial bill 
of lading and be reimbursed for the direct and actual transportation 
cost as a separate item in the invoice. The clause at 52.247-1, 
Commercial Bill of Lading Notations, will ensure that the Government in 
this type of arrangement obtains the benefit of section 10721 rates.
