FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 47: Transportation › Subpart 47.3

FAR 47.305-4 F.o.b. destination solicitations.

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 when delivery is f.o.b. destination. It matters to contractors because it explains when offers on other delivery terms may be rejected and when a specific clause must be included in the solicitation and contract.

Applies to: Contracting officers preparing f.o.b. destination solicitations

What it requires

  • Refer to 47.303 for the prescription of f.o.b. destination clauses relating to standard delivery terms
  • State in the solicitation that offers submitted on a basis other than f.o.b. destination will be rejected as nonresponsive if only f.o.b. destination offers are desired
  • Insert the clause at 52.247-48, F.o.b. Destination—Evidence of Shipment, in solicitations and contracts when supplies will or may be purchased f.o.b. destination but inspection and acceptance will be at origin
