FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 47: Transportation › Subpart 47.2

FAR 47.206 Preparation of solicitations and contracts.

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 tells contracting officers how to prepare solicitations and contracts for transportation or transportation-related services. They must follow the FAR rules for fixed-price service contracts where those rules apply and do not conflict with subpart 47.2, and they must also include the provisions, clauses, and instructions listed in section 47.207. It matters to contractors because it shapes what terms and requirements will appear in these transportation solicitations and contracts.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing transportation or transportation-related services solicitations and contracts

What it requires

  • Prepare solicitations and contracts for transportation or transportation-related services as prescribed elsewhere in the FAR for fixed-price service contracts, to the extent applicable and not inconsistent with subpart 47.2
