Abstract: This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR part 47 requirements: ● FAR 52.247-2, Permits, Authorities, or Franchises. For regulated freight transportation or transportation-related services, the clause requires an offeror to indicate whether it has the proper authorization from the Federal Highway Administration (or other cognizant regulatory body) before it can be allowed to move material under any contract awarded. ● FAR 52.247-6, Financial Statement. This provision requires an offeror to furnish the Government with a current certified statement of the offeror’s financial condition and such data as the Government may request with respect to the offeror’s operations. ● FAR 52.247-48, F.o.b. Destination—Evidence of Shipment. This clause requires the contractor to retain and make available to the Government for review, as necessary, evidence of free on board (f.o.b.) destination shipment documentation for a period of three years after final payment of the contract. ● FAR 52.247-51, Evaluation of Export Offers. This provision requires an offeror to nominate a port/terminal of loading they recommend for the purposes of evaluation of their offer and indicate whether the prices proposed are based on f.o.b. origin or f.o.b. destination. ● FAR 52.247-52, Clearance and Documentation Requirements—Shipments to DOD Air or Water Terminal Transshipment Points. This clause directs the contractor to provide the Government certain information regarding shipments to DoD air or water terminal transshipment points. ● FAR 52.247-53, Freight Classification Description. When the Government purchases supplies that are new to the supply system, nonstandard, or modifications of previously shipped items, and different freight classifications may apply, this provision requests an offeror provide the full Uniform Freight Classification (rail) description, or the National Motor Freight Classification description applicable to the supplies. ● FAR 52.247-57, Transportation Transit Privilege Credits. This clause allows the offeror to identify any transportation charges, including any transit charges, that the offeror agrees to pay, subject to reimbursement by the Government. ● FAR 52.247-60, Guaranteed Shipping Characteristics. This clause requires the offeror to provide details on the shipping container(s) to be used for each part or component that is packed or packaged separately. ● FAR 52.247-63, Preference for U.S.-Flag Air Carriers. In the event that a contractor selects a carrier other than a U.S.-flag air carrier for international air transportation during performance of the contract, this clause requires the contractor to include a statement regarding the unavailability of U.S.-Flag Air Carriers on vouchers involving such transportation. ● FAR 52.247-64, Preference for Privately Owned U.S.-Flag Commercial Vessels. This clause requires a contractor to provide the contracting officer and the Maritime Administration’s one legible copy of a rated on-board ocean bill of lading for each shipment made by the contractor or its subcontractors. ● FAR 52.247-67, Submission of Transportation Documents for Audit. This clause requires the contractor to submit for prepayment audit transportation documents on which the United States will assume freight charges that were paid by the contractor under a cost-reimbursement contract or by the contractor’s first-tier subcontractor (for a cost-reimbursement subcontract). ● FAR 52.247-68, Report of Shipment (REPSHIP). This clause requires contractors to send an advance notice of shipment to the consignee transportation officer to be received at least 24 hours before the arrival of the shipment, unless otherwunless otherwise directed by a contracting officer. ● FAR 47.303 Clauses for Standard Delivery Terms.
