As prescribed in 47.207-1(b), insert the following clause in
solicitations and contracts for transportation or for transportation-related services when a Federal office is relocated, to
ensure that offerors are capable to perform interstate or intrastate moving contracts involving the relocation of Federal

CAPABILITY TO PERFORM A CONTRACT FOR THE
RELOCATION OF A FEDERAL OFFICE (FEB 2006)
(a) If the move specified in this contract is to be performed
by the Contractor as a carrier within the borders of more than
one State, including the District of Columbia, (i.e., an interstate move), the Contractor shall have obtained and hold
appropriate and current operating authority from the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
(b)(1) If the move specified in this contract is to be performed by the Contractor as a carrier wholly within the borders of one State or the District of Columbia (i.e., an intrastate
move), the Contractor shall, when required by the State, or the
District of Columbia, in which the move is to take place, have
obtained and hold appropriate and current operating authority
from that jurisdiction in the form of a certificate, permit, or
equivalent license to operate.
(2) If no authority to operate is required by the State or
the District of Columbia, the Contractor as carrier shall maintain facilities, equipment, and a business address within the
jurisdiction in which the move is to take place. However, if the
move is to originate and/or terminate within an area of one
State, or the District of Columbia, that comprises a part of a
recognized Commercial Zone (see Subpart B of 49 CFR part
372) the boundaries of which encompass portions of more
than one State or the District of Columbia, it shall be sufficient
if the Contractor as carrier maintains facilities, equipment,
and a business address within the Commercial Zone and holds
appropriate operating authority, if required, from the jurisdiction within which the Contractor maintains the facilities,
equipment, and business address.
(c) If the move specified in this contract will not be performed by the Contractor as carrier, it must be performed for
the Contractor by a carrier operating under a subcontract with
the Contractor. In this case, the Contractor shall not be subject
to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this clause,
but shall be responsible for requiring and ensuring that the
subcontractor carrier complies with those requirements in
every respect.
(d) The Contractor shall be in compliance with the applicable requirements of this clause at least 14 days before the
date on which performance of the contract shall commence
under the terms specified; except that, if the period from the
date of award of the contract to the date that performance shall
commence is less than 28 days, the Contractor shall comply
