FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.247-18 Multiple Shipments.

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 clause applies when a contractor is given several shipments at once to move from one origin to two or more consignees at the same destination. It says the rate charged for each shipment must be based on the total combined weight of all the shipments, not each one separately. This matters because it can change how much the contractor can charge for the work.

Applies to: Transportation or transportation-related services contracts involving multiple shipments from one origin to multiple consignees at the same destination

What it requires

  • Charge each shipment at the rate applicable to the aggregate weight of all the shipments
