                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

 

PART 47_TRANSPORTATION--Table of Contents

 

                          Subpart 47.1_General

 

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.
