Sec.  47.203  Transportation term contracts.

    (a) Transportation term contracts are indefinite delivery 
requirements contracts for transportation or for transportation-related 
services. They are particularly useful for local drayage and office 
relocations within a metropolitan area.
    (b) Transportation term contracts shall contain descriptions of the 
services to be performed; rates and charges for these services; the 
geographical area of coverage; the term of the contract; and minimum or 
maximum order limitations by dollar amount, shipment size, or other 
criteria.
    (c) If appropriate, the transportation term contract shall require 
the contractor to provide the services covered to any Government agency 
that issues an order for these services under the contract. If so--
    (1) Agencies may place orders for transportation or for 
transportation-related services under existing term contracts without 
further consideration of competition, as these term contracts are 
awarded on a price-competitive basis; and
    (2) Agency personnel shall ensure that the orders they place conform 
to the contract, including any minimum or maximum order limitations.
    (d) Policies and procedures regarding the use of GSA term contracts 
for transportation or for transportation-related services by civilian 
executive agencies are prescribed in 41 CFR 101-40.109.
