FAR and DFARS › DFARS Part 252: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 252.2

DFARS 252.237-7013 Instruction to offerors (bulk weight).

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This DFARS provision tells offerors how to price and submit offers for laundry services when the solicitation uses bulk weight. Offers must be based on a unit price per pound that covers all costs to the Government, including pickup and delivery, and the Contracting Officer evaluates bids using the estimated pounds stated in the solicitation. Award is generally made to one offeror for all lots, but the Contracting Officer may award by individual lot if that is more advantageous to the Government.
