FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 45: Government Property › Subpart 45.6

FAR 45.602-4 Interagency property transfer costs.

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 section covers what happens when government property is transferred between agencies. Generally, the agency giving up the property cannot be reimbursed for it, and the receiving agency pays shipping and preparation costs that are not the contractor's responsibility. It matters to contractors because it clarifies who pays transfer costs and how contract modifications are handled during plant clearance.

Applies to: Agencies transferring government property to other agencies, and contractors involved in plant clearance

What it requires

  • The receiving agency must pay transportation costs that are not the contractor's responsibility
  • The receiving agency must pay costs to pack, crate, or otherwise prepare the property for shipment
  • The receiving agency must promptly furnish funding data and transfer or shipping documents to the contract administration office
