Sec. 102-117.50  What are the advantages and disadvantages of contracting 
directly with a TSP under the FAR?

    (a) The FAR is an advantage to use when:
    (1) You ship consistent volumes in consistent traffic lanes;
    (2) You have sufficient time to follow FAR contracting procedures; 
and
    (3) Your contract office is able to handle the requirement.
    (b) The FAR may be a disadvantage when you:
    (1) Cannot prepare and execute a FAR contract within your time 
frame; or
    (2) Have recurring shipments between designated places, but do not 
expect sufficient volume to obtain favorable rates.
